Greg Sargent: "It's just a towering lie that this bill saves so much money. It would in fact add trillions to the deficit, again, partly because of the tax cuts for the rich. But that last part is the thing they cannot say. This is what both Musk and Mike Johnson have to deny."

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Very good job by Shaw with Hawley's usual sarcastic approach. (Familiar if you watch Judiciary hearings - reframe witness's position as crazy, goad them into disagreeing, then say hey check out this smart guy who can't defend the position.)

Another way to look at this is that SBU agents had to spend 18 months doing insanely dangerous Mission Impossible behind enemy lines tradecraft because Western governments won't authorise them using long-range missiles for fear of hurting Vlad's feelings.

Greenblatt and the ADL have completely forfeited all of their moral and strategic authority. They are opponents of multiracial democracy in the United States and in Israel/Palestine--all of which is bad for Jews and against Jewish values.

The Washington Examiner (the conservative news outlet) reports that Stephen Miller screamed at ICE officials: "What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?" Kinda blows up the narrative that they care about public safety.

Americans who report paying “a lot of attention” to news (everyone on this platform) are (a) in the minority of voters and (b) very, very prone to assuming the other side of the aisle is all extremists. This is counterproductive to broader party efforts at persuasion. I have sources: 🧵

"The hallways...were absolutely lined with ICE agents. And immigrants were scared to leave, even though their cases were still open. What happened was that ICE agents then stormed into the courtroom, kicked out the attorneys, and detained everyone in the courtroom over the judge's objections."
