NEW: ICE updated its policy for "enforcement actions" in and near courthouses, removing a provision directing officers to ensure they weren't violating state or local laws. @dmehro.bsky.social and @dell.bsky.social have the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-qu...

when people argue that democrats shouldnt stand up for transgender people, i want you to substitute "transgender" in your head with "black" "latino" "asian" or "women" and understand why its a non-starter. either we all have equal rights or none of us does. this is simple.

Another ā€œshadow docketā€ emergency order by the Supreme Court undoing both a trial court and court of appeals decision to stop the Trump regime from deporting some half-a million people – all in the service of … what? My video take here: @legalafmtn.bsky.social youtu.be/p_ZB2542s9s?...

youtube.com/watch?v=x9sh... Minnesota Governor Tim Walz giving an incredibly powerful speech in South Carolina as many expect he is preparing for a presidential run.

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

I'll be here if anyone needs me...

How are they going to determine someone is a Patriot Front member?

Whoever the 2028 Dem candidate is - they MUST promise to get back those that were sent to El Salvador, Syria, etc with no due process. I pledge to not forget about the immigrants that our country disappeared.

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a ā€œterroristā€ or a ā€œgang memberā€ are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

If I were a billionaire (coughMARKCUBANTAYLORSWIFTBEYONCEcough) I’d be seeing how much money it would take to bribe the president of El Salvador to release all of the people Trump kidnapped. Play the game for good!

When I learned to drive, I was taught that if you end up in the wrong lane you don’t hold up ALL other traffic so you can get where you want to go. You go with the flow of traffic and turn around when you can. People are so self centered now that they don’t care they’re holding everyone else up!

It was up against some powerful counter-programming yesterday, but the House Judiciary subcommittee hearing on "judicial overreach" was worth watching. Gingrich gets top billing, but I particularly commend Prof. Kate Shaw's opening statement and testimony. www.c-span.org/program/hous...

Could anyone explain to me why members of the cabinet or Supreme Court justices are allowed to perjure themselves? We had Amy Coney Barrett saying that Roe is settled law, we all know how that turned out. And then we have RFK Jr saying he will uphold the importance of vaccinations?

Roses are red Violets are blue

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to ā€œthe leftā€ and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

What is this crap, @nytimes.com Way to water down that he’s working for Putin.

This is a FANTASTIC idea!!

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools
