NEW: The National Sheriffs’ Association(!) puts out a statement saying the Trump admin’s publication, with no feedback first, of a list of Sheriff departments alleged to be sanctuary jurisdictions “violated the core principles of trust, cooperation, and partnership with fellow law enforcement.”

“It turns out nativism is one hell of a drug. The Trump administration has ingested it in a big way, and it’s driving its dealers and users in the administration into a fanatical frenzy of destructive activity. And much of the country is just watching it happen.” www.thebulwark.com/p/a-permanen...

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Phang: And you’ve got to appreciate that the congresswoman was able to say, “Look, this ain’t Fox News, buddy. This is Congress.” So if you’re going to be here and you’re going to try to make an allegation somewhere publicly, you better be able to back it up.

See you at 1 AM, yes, you read that right, when Republicans take up the spending bill, which includes a provision that would restrict courts from holding gov’t officials in contempt for violating court orders—possibly explaining the subterfuge. www.justsecurity.org/113529/terri...

The sickos pass the “One Big, Ugly Bill” out of Budget Committee. If you’re wondering what’s wrong with media, try starting with MSM below calling lunatic extremists “conservatives.” And why isn’t The Dictator asked 100x a day why he lied about not cutting Medicaid?

The “fluoride removal” bit is a solution in search of a problem. Fluoride levels in Florida are completely safe, help prevent cavities, and keep kids in school. Where’s the evidence it’s been remotely harmful? There isn’t any. No ethics, no morals, all smoke and mirrors.

The point that @ericswalwell.bsky.social is making is that President Trump knowingly shared faked "evidence" to try to convince the American people that Abrego García doesn't 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘 due process. Don't fall for it - we're all legally 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗱 to due process per the Constitution. The MS13 is fake.

It’s very strange that this article on the staffing issues at Newark Airport doesn’t mention the fact that DOGE fired 400 FAA employees a few months ago, and union officials warned about exactly these kinds of shortages.

The last on-duty homicide of a detention and deportation officer was 1949. The last time there was even a non-COVID death on duty was 2016, when an officer had a heart attack during a foot pursuit. Before that, a training accident in 2003, then a fall down an elevator shaft at a jail in 1975.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.
