This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

The federal government knows your mother’s maiden name, your bank account number, the student debt you hold and more. President Trump and Elon Musk are trying to connect these records, raising the prospect of creating a kind of data trove about Americans that the government has never had before.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Trump, do you want to set up a compensation fund for the 140 sworn police officers wounded by your J6 “patriots” too? Or is it just the criminals you’re proposing to pay reparations? Why should the taxpayers pay for the upkeep of your mercenary gang?

Did you know aerial photography was once done by pigeons? No, seriously. In the early 1900s, Julius Neubronner strapped tiny cameras to trained homing pigeons and let them capture photos midflight. I’ve been diving into these images with a cartographer’s eye and they’re weirdly beautiful. #gischat

The richest man in the world called Social Security a “Ponzi scheme.” Now his chainsaw is attacking the agency that makes sure people get their checks on time. Instead of threatening Social Security, we need to expand it—and I’m supporting a bill to get that done.

"You can believe that a judicial decision is wrong, you can even believe that a judge is rogue," Steve Vladeck said. "The remedy for all of that behavior is not to undermine the judge ... remedy is to let the legal system do what the legal system does, which is correct erroneous rulings on appeal."

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer. If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up. If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

The arguments over tax policy right now boil down to this: Republicans want lower taxes for millionaires, billionaires, and giant corporations—and higher costs for working people. Democrats say the rich should pay a fair share so we can invest in opportunity for all.

The last gov't purge of federal employees started in the 1940's. McCarthy was on the hunt for communists & homosexuals resulting in 2,700 firings and 12,000 resignations. Many who resigned were homosexual men, & many committed suicide. The purge accomplished nothing but losing valuable expertise.

How did our country (the U.S.) create and elevate such a group of cowardly, greedy, vain, arrogant, and profoundly insecure men to the highest rungs of power? They bring Zelensky to the Oval Office for what? To mock and denigrate a truly courageous leader & try to bring him down to their base level?
