OK, I’m told the feds released Mayor Barka rather than holding him over the weekend on the pretext they couldn’t get him before a judge. I am pleasantly surprised, through I suspect the decision was made on a lower level and that the people who made it may suffer.

Our country’s getting wrecked from within by drunk incompetent people from Fox. From a network that shelled out $787 million for lying to its own audience.

We are not under invasion. There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights. Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

I think it's bad that the president's attacks on journalists regularly feature calls for government regulators to punish them.

I am deeply troubled by the dismissal of Dr. Carla Hayden, a trailblazing librarian and the first African American and woman to serve as Librarian of Congress. Her leadership modernized access to knowledge for all. This is a loss for intellectual freedom and public service.

Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding? The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

One of the thing that angers me most about unaccountable federal police, including ICE, but also police in general--is every step over the last 30 years to aggrandize their power has been met with warnings that exactly this would happen.

I’m very concerned that we’re getting close to a point where the regime commands military forces to commit unconstitutional and illegal violence against their fellow Americans. If that happens, the fate of the republic will rest on them following the constitution, and refusing the orders.

John Prevost, the brother of Robert Prevost, was in "disbelief" when he saw his younger brother be named Pope Leo XIV. He said he expects Leo to be a “second Pope Francis" who will have "great concern for the plight of the poor, for the downtrodden, for people who don't have a voice."

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?
