Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

ICE agents or bounty hunters? A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today. What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.

San Diego residents force ICE out of their neighborhood. These ICE thugs know how much shame they bear for their cruel and unconstitutional actions, which is why they don't show their faces. 😡

It’s baffling that Trump can justify tariffs against Mexico by citing the cartels while simultaneously cutting a deal with Sinaloa allowing 17 cartel family members safe harbor in the United States.

It’s fine, he’s just got all your personal data. 💊💉

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

Chairman Mao announces that he’s increasing the price of iPhones

The man with the nuclear codes walked into a wall. 😬

🔥 WATCH: “They won’t even read their own bill!” Rep. Leger-Fernandez (D) shames Rep. Jason Smith (R) for refusing to read a part of the Republican bill that gives a tax break for TANNING BEDS while slashing trillions in health care for seniors and the poor. 🤔 #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Boyle: "Out from CBO, just tonight, are the distributional effects of this bill. And what does it show? The bottom 10 percent of Americans will actually be poorer as a result of this bill with the biggest benefit going to the top 1 percent."

McGovern: "Now of course you don't want anybody to know what you're doing here. It's because you know this bill betrays the people who voted for you...you are intentionally hiding what you are doing...that's what you guys think is big and beautiful: greed, corruption, & tax breaks for billionaires."

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 CBO finds 500 BILLION in MEDICARE CUTS within Trump’s big beautiful bill.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Rubio spreads misinformation about Van Hollen's trip to El Salvador and meeting with Abrego Garcia: "We deported gang members, including the one you had a margarita with. And that guy is a human trafficker. And that guy is a gang member."

There's a whole lot of this throughout the entire Sun-Times Summer 2025 section, I can't find most of the people or publications referred to or quoted in any of this (some of the publications exist but i can't find the cited people in them)

1/10 This story first came to me through German media, friends abroad shared it. It’s in German, but the headline says it all: Trump is building a dragnet surveillance system that threatens civil liberties. I had to write this. We’re all in danger. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

A story of staggering hypocrisy, in two tweets.

In 1941, Hitler had documents transferred to Argentina to consolidate his ideology. On the cover was the 14-spoked gear logo of the German Labor Front which replaced unions when the leaders were sent to concentration camps. It’s also the DOGE logo. [NYT archive] web.archive.org/web/20250515...

Andry Romero, a young gay man, was given an asylum appointment by the U.S. Government. When he showed up to the appointment we kidnapped him and sent him to a foreign prison. I asked Secretary Noem to check if he’s alive. Her response was shameful.

Thank you @juliejohnsontx.bsky.social ICYMI, here’s insurrectionist Brandon Fellows advertising his ICE jacket at a pro-Palestine rally outside the White House in February. He encourages viewers to wear one to Home Depot & “watch the reactions, very funny.”

AT THIS MOMENT, HE'S TELLING THE SAUDIS HOW HE'S FUCKING US.

Trump saluting Saudi generals.

"I did this!"

Casey Means is an ableist grifter who thinks disease and death are your fault for not buying the $45 olive oil from a “regenerative farm” that she has an affiliate link for. She did not complete residency and is not board certified in any recognized medical specialty.

UPDATE: We've confirmed the identities and roles of 9 more key figures affiliated with Musk, bringing our DOGE tracker to a total of 86 staffers.

Uniter 9-year old Teddy “Recently…RFK Jr. made false comments about autism, like people with autism are broken, that autism caused by vaccines, and that people with autism will never have jobs or families. But that’s not true! “I have autism & I’m not broken.” @nj.com, www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjSfAeVL/

To be clear, Germany is cracking down on a Neo-Nazi party, and the US government is defending the Neo-Nazi party

Congrats everyone — we are at the point where The Onion and real life are indistinguishable from one another. 😳🇺🇸 theonion.com/ice-agents-w...

Here is an updated map. This is concerning.

they are literal segregationists apnews.com/article/scho...

Trump on his faith advisers: "They work right out of the White House. That's never been done before. No other president allowed that. They say 'separation between church and state.' I said, alright, let's forget about that for one time."

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

Lutnik: "Investors want to buy US citizenship in bulk. Last night at dinner, someone said: Can I get 10!" Pretty nice!"

Literally the reason the President gets so much deference in foreign affairs is because he is the “sole voice” of the nation when it comes to representing the U.S. as a sovereign and negotiating on its behalf. (Also, so much for the “unitary” executive)

Monstrous.

Listen, the court order remains valid until it gets executed. So what Senator Kennedy is suggesting here is that Mr. Garcia is going to be imprisoned for life for no crime he ever committed, and he’s OK with that?

The Dow is now headed for its worst April since 1932 -- the very worst year of the Great Depression.

BREAKING NYT: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat.

This is some sick shit

All 27 scientists at this CDC lab were told their duties were "unnecessary," and now viral outbreak investigations have been halted.

😕🇺🇸

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)

Right, because Grandma is on X. This is corruption, plain and simple.

After rolling back many of his tariffs Trump had Charles Schwab and others in the Oval Office. He pointed out that his guests had made fortunes on the stock market just one hour after his announcement. “He made 2.5 billion today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.”

NEW: The Venezuelan military says it has raised its alert level following the discovery of an alleged U.S. plot to fabricate an incident at an ExxonMobil offshore platform in the contested waters between Venezuela and Guyana to justify an armed conflict.

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made. That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country. #StopTrumpsTerror

Leavitt confirmed that the WH is working on deporting US citizens to El Salvador
