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.

Investigators believe the man may have been framed to get him arrested & deported before he could testify in a case where he was a victim of assault. The person who spoke to the AP did so on condition of anonymity, because they couldn't speak publicly. apnews.com/article/ice-...

See you at 1 AM, yes, you read that right, when Republicans take up the spending bill, which includes a provision that would restrict courts from holding gov’t officials in contempt for violating court orders—possibly explaining the subterfuge. www.justsecurity.org/113529/terri...

Roberts & his radical colleagues on the SCOTUS enabled the current constitutional showdown with the slow walk of federal criminal cases before the election, & the absurd immunity ruling. Now the Trump is ignoring a unanimous SCOTUS ruling in the Abrego Garcia case. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Last week, WaPo reported that 17 of 18 intelligence agencies said that Tren de Aragua had no substantive tie to Venezuela. This effectively says one of two claims on which Trump based his Alien Enemies Act invocation is false. Now, Tulsi says down is up.

Chief Judge Boasberg's probable cause ruling is *not* an appealable order. DOJ can ask the D.C. Circuit for an extraordinary writ of mandamus, but that requires showing that the district court ruling both (1) was clearly wrong; and (2) is not otherwise capable of being remedied on a future appeal.

As British soldiers were being evacuated from Dunkirk, the 1st Canadian Division was already in the UK as the only fully armed force to defend the shores. This photo of Canadians in the Battle of Britain is displayed across from our parliament. We fought fascism from day 1. Don't fuck with us.

The house just passed the SAVE act. Without a marriage certificate or passport, proving the link between birth name and current name, a woman who changed her name when she got married will likely not be allowed to register to vote. This will affect millions of women. Voter suppression on steroids.
