According to a congressman present, ICE arrested the Mayor of Newark in his own city while he was outside of an ICE facility. He wasn’t protesting or trespassing—he was serving as Mayor. This regime is lawless, reckless and trampling on the constitution.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

There is nothing about this current administration that makes any sense outside of the lens of racist religious nationalism. This is all about mediocre white extremists burning down the house so they can dance about the flames. If some of their own burn up as a result, well, there's a heaven, right

A thing press institutions REALLY need to internalize is that 1000x more people will see the headline than read the article. If the headline leaves a false impression, but the article sets it straight, it doesn’t matter. You are spreading misinformation.

Fyi, it takes 5-10 years to get a pharmaceutical factory built, prepped and certified, at a cost of about 2 billion dollars. What the hell are people supposed to do in the meantime?

Trump is waging the trade equivalent of a nuclear war against the entire world. He's telling other nations to surrender to his demands because he's willing to annihilate his own economy just to destroy theirs. A tyrant's strategy that should not be possible in any country resembling a democracy.

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to certain items cease to be available at any price

A constitutional crisis won't go away because we don't acknowledge. Trump is impounding funds (unconstitutional) and then ignoring court orders.

Consider this. 6 people in plainclothes approach you, and begin to cover their faces. At least one appears armed. As they grab your phone and backpack, they do not prove who they are. They say they're going to take you, but they're not saying why. What would you call that?

I am BEGGING people to frame this properly. The issue here is not one colossal blunder where a reporter got info. The issue is it’s clear these people are all routinely ignoring the most absolutely basic security protocols, and WE HAVE NO IDEA what breaches this has already enabled.

Read this declaration. A professional soccer player has been imprisoned in El Salvador and forced into hard labor on the basis of soccer-related tattoos and a single, innocent hand gesture. This is why the administration is withholding due process. It knows its targets could prove their innocence.

If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty. Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.
