Outrageous: ICE agents arrested a former U.S. Army interpreter who risked his life aiding American troops in Afghanistan, right after his asylum hearing in San Diego. The interpreter legally entered the U.S. after the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan.

This is a cover-up‼️ DHS is illegally trying to change the rules on congressional oversight visits to facilities to hide human rights abuses. “We know that they’re trying to hide all those abuses. That’s why it’s important that we can just get in at a moment’s notice.” – Rep. @gomez.house.gov

Energy matters in politics. It especially matters for Trump. Today, all the energy was with the pro-democracy team. Republicans in Congress should be very worried.

MAGAs are so morally broken that they can't even bring themselves to condemn the assassinations of Democratic politicians in their homes. They would rather push an asinine false narrative than be decent human beings.

Fascism is here. Union leaders assaulted and arrested, members of Congress prosecuted on ludicrous charges, a Senator violently assaulted and handcuffed, threats to "remove" duly elected leaders, refusal to obey court orders. We the People must rise up and say no. We will not tolerate it.

Padilla is a consummate politician who, like a lot of us, has been forced to only show intentional, calibrated emotion. These are real tears that aren't about him, they're about communities, families, and people who are being destroyed.

A brazen new form of corrupt giveaway by Trump’s DOJ: Bondi’s decision to cave in to meritless big money lawsuits by criminals pursued by the Biden administration will transfer $100M or more from us as taxpayers to those who tried to overthrow the U.S. Constitution.

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.

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.
