EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

FLASHBACK: Three months ago, Justice Dept held news conference and touted high-level arrest of “MS13 leader”… But they never made that accusation in court … and instead quietly deported the man, puzzling former Justice Dept officials www.cbsnews.com/news/doj-see...

Wait wait wait wait the "Hitler was right about one thing" and "victory for white life" lady did a bigotry? I refuse to believe it

Why are 20 masked ICE agents in military gear throwing flash-bangs at restaurant workers? How the hell did we get to this point?

Bondi DOJ has a problem. On left: DOJ Indictment and Detention Memo allege Abrego Garcia lied to officer by not revealing he was coming from Texas On right: DHS Referral Report: "Subject stated he was driving 'three days ago' (11/27/2022) from Houston, TX to Temple Hills, MD (via St Louis, MO)"

Gee, I wonder what the combination of these two small tidbits could mean. Imprisoned man suddenly comes forward... prosecutor quits. I'm sure no connection at all.

Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

Goldman: So I wonder: what’s in the Epstein files that would make Donald Trump so intent on keeping them covered up? What’s different from what’s already public

I guess Musk will be forming a 3rd party.

The GOP broke the law to deport this man—then decided to indict him. Court order? Ignored. Due process? Tossed. Now they want credit for “law and order”? Chile, please. Y’all did the process completely backwards. This is Trump’s America: lawless, reckless, and cruel.

Kristi Noem less than a month ago: "There is no scenario where Abrego Garcia will be in the United States again." (No matter what happens, bringing him back to the US is a climbdown for the administration)

After months of ignoring our Constitution, it seems the Trump Administration has relented to our demands for compliance with court orders and due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This has never been about the man — it’s about his constitutional rights and the rights of all. Full statement:

What an incredible day for this old tweet.

LOL

The government is returning Abrego Garcia to the US where he will face criminal charges. In other words, due process, including an opportunity to defend himself in court. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

If Abrego Garcia committed a crime, he should be charged and tried. I wondered reading this headline why they didn't just do this in the first place, and then read the article to discover that they only began the investigation in April, after he was deported.

When the administration tries to use these charges to say that his deportation was always justified, keep this in mind—they didn't even open the investigation until weeks after he was deported to be jailed in the CECOT prison

"The decision to pursue the indictment against Abrego Garcia led to the abrupt departure of Ben Schrader, a high-ranking federal prosecutor in Tennessee...Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons, the sources said."

Reminder that California subsidizes red states.

If you strip away the egos and shitposting, the Trump-Musk feud is really an argument over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people—over how best to make our society a meaner, crueler, less equal, more savage place. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1962...

Republicans rationalize greed. Eff this guy.

NEW: 13 House Republicans urge Senate to scale back clean energy cuts in bill they voted for www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

I wrote about the contrived, retconned allegations against Abrego Garcia in April. There is absolutely no reason to think that the government is charging him based on anything other than the administration trying to save face. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

IYKYK.

The correct political tack here is NOT “oh good, maybe now we can get Elon to back some Democrats” It’s actually, “This convicted criminal sexual predator and his drug-addled Nazi billionaire just raped and robbed the US government and now they’re fighting over the loot.”

I think the Thiel question looms large. If DOGE stays largely operational, it'll be outed as mostly a Thiel project.

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

AOC takes victory lap as Trump-Elon nuclear breakup confirms everything she and Bernie Sanders warned

Trump’s plan for a National Statue Garden could get built on sacred Native land currently held by a wealthy South Dakota mining family.

They could face up to five years.

Trump’s idea that a president could invalidate all of his predecessor’s acts by claiming that predecessor was mentally incompetent at the time is untenable. There is no “undo” button in the Constitution. https://trib.al/aMTjPHO

⚡️Trump quietly pressuring Senate to weaken Russia sanctions, WSJ reports. The White House reportedly asked Sen. Graham to insert waivers into the bill allowing Trump to choose which entities get sanctioned and changing the word "shall" to "may."

A former federal inmate, who was pardoned by President Trump in his first term for drug trafficking crimes, has been tapped as deputy director of the federal Bureau of Prisons, according to a spokesperson.
