Senior former Marine leaders speak out against the deployment of #Marines to #LosAngeles www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Seeing lots of people expressing concern over the second-degree murder charge in Minnesota. This is the highest available charge- the Minnesota statute is unusual and there is nothing odd at play here.

Both sides news coverage is killing democracy and there is no place where it is more dangerous that in how legacy media covers the GOP attacks on free and fair elections. For my latest and to access all Democracy Docket premium content, sign-up now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Love this! #NoKings

House Bill Would Bar ICE Agents From Wearing ‘Police’ Uniforms Amid Rising Tensions (Full Text) migrantinsider.com/p/police-ice

Good question.

CNN: "Breaking just moments ago. New data showing consumers cut back spending sharply last month ... this does appears to at least partially be driven by a hangover from tariffs."

Context note: DOJ doesn’t turn over evidence to Congress if they have a viable investigation in the works.

They have caught the magat shooter, now time to wonder how long before a pardon and a position in the administration, or perhaps supremely corrupted court.

The Asshole-in-Chief.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Can't wait until gambling, prostitution and the sale of narcotics are legalized later this year. Wait, what? Yeah, how else are the red states going to pick up the financial slack that FEMA won't once disaster strikes after hurricane season 2025? You know since FEMA is going bye-bye.

Utah voters: Are these really your values? Mike Lee is the best you can do?

All of this is being manufactured by Trump. The show of force is the point. It distracts from his recent failures and inability to govern. Like any bully, Trump wants to display his power — especially over those whom he doesn't consider "his" people.

Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" doesn't give working families "crumbs." It’s even worse. It rips away health care from them pay for tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations.

Funding cuts to Medicaid and other programs included in the sweeping tax-and-spending bill would hurt low-income households financially more than the tax cuts would boost their finances, according to nonpartisan analyses of the bill.

Over 75% of folks in ICE custody this year had no criminal record beyond immigration or traffic issues. Less than 10% had serious convictions. Fear sells, but facts matter. #ImmigrationTruth

As we used to say … right on

One cop on the right who took the ammo away looked shocked himself when they found it.

For us it's when he jerks himself awake and Melania smirks

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”
