President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

This is the price history for a 2 bed, 1 bath (1,469 sf), fully landlocked farmhouse in northern Michigan. Migrants are not tripling mortgage rates. Migrants are not tariffing construction materials. Migrants are not running blackstone. When all this cruelty solves nothing, who will they blame next?

Whether it's right ending democracy and turning the United States into a military dictatorship or the left slapping a flier onto Chris Cillizza's Tesla, both sides have descended into nihilistic lawlessness.

“This is who Trump is. This is what he said he would do if he returned to office.” Watch @mehdirhasan.bsky.social unpack Trump’s autocratic love for violence against protesters after he sent troops to L.A. where protests are ongoing in response to ICE raids across the city

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence. It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

And thanks to a generation of reactionary centrists, feckless Dems, autocratic GOPers, and a TV culture of non-stop crime shows and bleeds-it-leads news, we spent TWENTY-FIVE YEARS of declining and low crime rates building out that police-state style police system at EVERY level of government.

🚨Another HUGE bit of news tonight; in collaboration with the Trump admin, Texas just kicked 20,000 undocumented college students — people who grew up in Texas and graduated from high school there — out of eligibility for in-state tuition. This may force thousands to drop out.

I think you should know that Trump put the same gold-framed painting of Reagan in the Oval Office as can be seen in the office of the colonel in the movie “MacGruber.”

Cruel and Dangerous… The Trump administration just announced it’s shutting all Job Corps centers nationwide by June 30—no warning, no plan, just blindsiding students and families. Any thought given to the lives this disrupts? Any thought given to the skilled labor shortage this will make worse?

The thing with replacing the rule of law with a mafia state is that it's not good for business even if it can be good for particular businesses at particular times; whether Silicon Valley elites will be able to see through their crushes on Donald Trump and figure this out, who knows

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

in addition to being brazenly unprincipled, this is evidence that the conservatives KNOW trump is a mad king, but still want to imbue him with royal authority — against the well-documented history and tradition of the united states — out of their blinkered devotion to a narrow ideological project

so to be clear about what happened here, the Trump White House released audio meant to make Joe Biden look bad to Axios hours after the US's credit rating was downgraded. Trump wanted a distraction and the usual suspects in the press are happy to oblige.
