"Addressing a packed room of law-enforcement officers and law-enforcement enthusiasts at the expo, the acting ice director, Todd Lyons, said, 'We need to get better at treating this like a business.' He described his agency’s goal to be 'like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings.'" - Jessica Pishko

"The president and his coterie want people walking around taking selfies in gas clouds, waving Mexican flags, holding up traffic, and burning cars...Be warned: Trump is expecting resistance. You will not be heroes. You will be the pretext." - Tom Nichols

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

If they're calling this a protest that needs the help of the National Guard - - what's going to happen when MILLIONS of Americans are protesting next week...

lmao The Sun has a livestream of the “LA riots” on YouTube and when you click on it it’s a bunch of troops standing around doing nothing you can literally hear birds singing in the background what a time to be alive

"Perhaps the federal taxes can be paid into a state created trust account that the state promises to pay the federal government assuming certain conditions are met to respect the rights of the people of each state?" - Dean Obeidallah

"It is the first time since 1965 that a president has activated a state’s National Guard force without a request from that state’s governor...last time was when Pres Lyndon B. Johnson sent troops to Alabama to protect civil rights demonstrators in 1965..." - NYT "Since 1965." We're going backwards.

The Russia's Future channel, launched by Navalny's widow Yulia Navalnaya and Reporters Without Borders, began broadcasting Wednesday, on what would have been the late Russian activist's 49th birthday.

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

LISTEN: Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's message to Allied forces taking part in D-Day on June 6, 1944: "The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you."

Mr. Vought, be honest. Waste, fraud, and abuse are not the targets of this Administration. They are your primary objectives.

"The administration’s serial refusals to respond to inquiries about its own behavior in the case has so annoyed Judge Xinis that this week she allowed Mr. Abrego Garcia’s lawyers to seek sanctions against the government." - NYT

ABC reports Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being returned to the United States abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

This is America now

Chaos at a US Federal Courthouse as ICE abducts a man moments after his immigration hearing, people bravely tried to block the abduction. #3E

"While the administration’s attacks have clearly been focused on non-Whites, LGBTQ+ groups, immigrants and women, others’ existence has also proven inconvenient for the Trump agenda. Take, for instance, the poor." - By Amanda Shendruk and Catherine Rampell

Today is the day. Months of planning have led to this as we head to the National Mall for the Unite for Veterans rally. I am slated to be the last speaker. It will be a big day. My thoughts on the history and this moment.

The lowest of the low

One thread of a creepy campaign.

Today, Acting RM @lynch.house.gov led Oversight Dems in calling to subpoena Elon Musk and pull DOGE’s work out of the shadows.   The American people deserve answers on how DOGE has unleashed AI on government systems, messed with your private data, and undermined Social Security.

@spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social Annika Pergament is what New Yorkers call a real pro. Class act.

It only took a few hours to wipe $152 billion of value from Tesla’s market cap and $250 million in value from TrumpCoin Thursday as President Trump and Elon Musk publicly and viciously feuded over the “Big Beautiful Bill.”

A newly filed Florida Bar ethics complaint from 70 professionals accuses her of weaponizing DoJ for political retribution, alleging that Bondi: “has sought to compel (DOJ) lawyers to violate their ethical obligations under the guise of ‘zealous advocacy.’” floridapolitics.com/archives/741...

Dems on the House Oversight Committee moved to subpoena Elon Musk today, catching Republicans off as few Repubs were present. Hilariously, Nancy Mace then lost control of the hearing as they tried to scramble to get their members to actually show up: youtu.be/HdNbaoo5bdM

This❕In a United States congressman's office. There is NO protection for ANY of us.

USIP’s website is back. www.usip.org

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

I feel like Musk could really blow MAGA's collective minds just by continuing to tweet out facts the rest of us have known for years but never penetrated their media bubble.
