Dominican man thrown to the ground and arrested outside immigration courtroom just now, an activist, who is a US citizen was also taken away in the chaotic scene. A lawyer later tried to ask the remaining agents where the activist was taken. "you just arrested a US citizen which is illegal."

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

My mother voted for Barack Obama twice, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. She was a white lady in rural Mid-Missouri. She was a devout Catholic and she looked for the good in people. She died this month at the age of 96. Let's try to make our country a better place for everyone.

Drone operation 1.5 years in planning & execution, operators involved exfil-ed in advance. Billions in damage for Russia, 40+ strategic bombers, possibly hundreds of aircraft damaged, a whole leg of the nuclear triad at risk. With toy drones. This day brought to you by every de-escalation guy

Hoping @raskin.house.gov @durbin.senate.gov ask Pam Bondi why she didn't recuse from a matter pertaining to Trump accepting bribes from Qatar, given that she herself was only recently a paid agent of Qatar.

Hoping @wyden.senate.gov asks Scott Bessent whether Trump will be charged $40M tariff for the $400M jet he's importing from a foreign country subject to 10% tariffs.

It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar! efile.fara.gov/docs/6415-Ex...

This isn’t a good idea even if the plane was being donated to the U.S. government. But Trump GETS TO KEEP THE PLANE??? It’s simply a cash payment to Trump in exchange for favors. Just wildly illegal.

NEW — I’ve obtained audio of new acting FEMA head David Richardson threatening staff in an all hands meeting this morning. As first reported by Reuters, he told those who resisted change in the agency, “Don’t get in my way…I will run right over you.” Listen to the clip here:

Trump: “Girls can now have 12 dolls. Up to Scott B.”

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

I made this video about how gov Janet mills stood up to Trump and won. @msnbc.com

I saw this post this morning and have been looking for all the other songs they’ve done. New goal: find when they’re doing a concert. Thanks @adamkeiper.com and thanks @harvard.edu

Liz Oyer, the DOJ attorney who got fired for refusing to reinstate Mel Gibson’s gun rights after Trump took power, is on TikTok now and she’s making some interesting videos. Follow her here: www.tiktok.com/@lawyer.oyer...

Opinion from @maxmccoy.com: A rural Kansas county is postcard perfect. Its for-profit jail is a way station to deportation hell. #ksleg

Wanna see something cool? At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is. The result? The crowd losing its mind. 🔥
