House Republicans are trying to gut the Government Accountability Office—the nonpartisan agency that’s spent decades exposing waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government. GAO has worked with Congress for years to make government more efficient and accountable. (1/2)

Justice Sotomayor said it best: the conservative majority is “rewarding lawlessness.” Migrants are being deported—without notice or due process—to countries they’ve never even set foot in. This is what happens when the Court starts playing politics.

It's becoming increasingly clear is that the right wing of this Supreme Court is extreme even among federal courts. The district courts and appellate courts keep appropriately halting this shit, expressing appropriate outrage, and trying to hold the line. Then SCOTUS blows it all up.

There should be an earnest call to pack the courts by Dem leadership. It should be a thought out campaign to explain to the American people why it’s necessary.

Kerlin Moreno-Orellana was dumping trash at an apartment complex at the direction of his boss for a real estate project when Jackson police arrested them for alleged illegal dumping. Now, the 16-year-resident is in ICE custody and faces deportation. His children are begging for his return.

Right now Israeli forces are heavily bombing the densely populated city of Tehran in Iran. If they do not stop by 3:30 am Tel Aviv time, they will be in violation of the ceasefire agreement Trump is celebrating.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

34,000 already employed by NYPD. Before overtime, $11 billion in taxpayer funds. Largest police force in world. Cuomo calling for 5000 more. Base starting salary alone: $300 million more. Could instead fund violence interruption & summer youth employment in every NYC neighborhood for 5 years.

News organizations have already announced there's a ceasefire because Trump posted about it on social media. But there's been no actual confirmation. No official announcement from Israel or Iran. But because Trump posted it, that's somehow enough, despite his history of lying.

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home. We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

We’re not sure who these armed men are! They show up without uniforms, completely masked, refuse to give ID. They drive regular cars and in cases out of state license plates. The vests that they have on look like they’re from Amazon! Are they bounty hunters?! Are they vigilanties?!

Reminder this is Trump’s war and he made the choice to do this. Just as he chose to walk away from diplomacy with Iran over and over again. We must ask why he did this? His poll numbers have been bad—ice invasions, military deployments against Americans, his tariffs, his failed parade.

ICE isn't targeting criminals. They’re arresting nonviolent, law-abiding mothers, fathers, and kids, tearing families apart. Asylum is a legal path to immigration, but Trump is voiding asylum claims so masked ICE officers can meet mass deportation quotas. This is not the America I know.
