BREAKING: Multiple people injured, including 2 seriously, after plane carrying 16-20 people onboard crashes near Tullahoma, Tennessee. - ABC

The cowardice of ICE is unmatched. Not only do they have to carry out their work obscuring their faces militarized against people working in kitchens but they are so in their fee fees about being called out as fascist or being compared to history's terror squads, which they are among.

Not only is coal terrible for our environment—it’s deadly to manage. I slammed the American Coal Council for the hundreds of lives lost at coal-fired plants every year. We must invest in clean energy and protect our energy workers. Ms. Arthun’s face speaks volumes.

"You couldn't get a bleaker picture than what we've seen over the last few days. 62 people have been killed... merely for trying to access food for their families, for themselves" Jeremy Lawrence, United Nations human rights spokesperson

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

"At about 15 minutes past the hour every hour all afternoon, teams of agents, many of them masked, left the building escorting four people, each in handcuffs, into parked SUVs that then quickly zipped across the street to the garage of 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE has its local field office."

In the seven years before Tom Thibodeau got to New York, the Knicks made the playoffs zero times and had a .330 winning percentage. In Thibodeau's five years with the Knicks, they had a .565 winning percentage, made the playoffs four times and the conference finals once.

🚨Heard about this earlier today; ICE is expanding to arrests at ATD (alternatives to detention) case management check-ins. Dozens of people got texts to show up weeks in advance of their normal check-in, and ended up detained. Three women let go were told to come back tomorrow with their kids.

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Trump’s trade war will wreak greater economic damage than previously expected, both in the US and everywhere else, according to new forecasts by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The group of 38 mostly wealthy nations sharply downgraded its 2025 economic growth forecast.

The cost to repair D.C. streets after Trump's upcoming military parade could cost as much as $16 million, according to U.S. military officials.

Great! He’ll hold out until at least Tuesday, right?

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

SCOOP: Elon Musk will not be fully exiting DOGE. In fact, federal workers from at least six agencies tell WIRED that DOGE-style work is escalating in their departments, and President Trump himself said in a press conference today that “Elon's really not leaving.”

The Trump administration is abusing an obscure section of immigration law to punish Mahmoud Khalil and other immigrants for their advocacy in support of Palestinian human rights. But the First Amendment protects everyone in the U.S. ICE must release Mahmoud immediately.

From failing to publicize a major outbreak to scaling back safety alert specialists and rules, the Trump administration’s anti-regulatory and cost-cutting push risks unraveling a critical system that helps ensure the safety of the U.S. food supply, according to experts.

Peeps💙I’m so tired of the crap that Trump and his enablers are doing to our country! These people are science deniers who are trying to destroy proof of science in its entirety! WTF 🤬 Listen up and hear what Trump did on Friday!👇🏼👇🏼 #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

BREAKING: NPR and three local stations have filed a lawsuit against President Trump, arguing his executive order to end its federal funding is illegal.

GOOD MORNING BLACKSKY!!! Here's a little TLC to start your day in a calm way.

Trump told West Point cadets at their graduation that he wouldn't be able to shake their hands, a tradition among US presidents, because he had urgent matters to deal with on China and Russia. This was him "dealing" with China and Russia moments later. He went golfing.

A record number of Americans applied for British citizenship in the first three months of this year, and for the right to live and work in Britain indefinitely, according to official data.

This hits hard.

He followed the rules. He was arrested during a routine appointment to finalize his citizenship, according to multiple media reports. These are not the people we should be deporting! #ICE #AmericanShame #TrumpsAmerica ktla.com/news/man-31-...

Protesters risked being shunned by society to warn that Haiti is running out of HIV medication months after the administration of President Donald Trump slashed more than 90% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts and $60 billion in overall aid across the globe.

Was capitulating to fascism even worth it, Paul Weiss? You tossed away your ethics, forever tarnished your reputation and surrendered your dignity Now you’re losing talented lawyers-who will take G-d knows how much revenue with them When you could’ve been heroes if you merely did the right thing

only one way the Knicks can gameplan to stop Tyrese Haliburton: grind that Family Matters tape, baby

As lawyers like to say, res ipsa loquitur. The thing speaks for itself.

ICE is arresting the people who work within the system because they have insane quotas to meet and the people who work within the system are the easiest to capture. Shameful, predatory behavior. www.huffpost.com/entry/kasper...

To understand what the GOP is forcing through at midnight: •Gutting $880 billion from Medicaid •Gutting $500 billion from Medicare •Gutting funding for SNAP (food assistance) •Gutting clean energy protections, which will also cost 400,000 jobs 1/2

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.

Oh. Tanning bed companies are getting a tax break while people with skin cancer are getting kicked off Medicaid? None of this is making America great.
