🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

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 attempt to burn down the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion is pretty clearly an assassination attempt, and it's likely an antisemitic hate crime. It should be referred to that way by political media.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Oh look, Trump is threatening Mexico with tariffs again. At this point countries will just laugh at this ass clown. His credibility is shot. He can’t stick with tariffs because of the same domestic pressure he’s caved to 4 times already in less than 90 days. Just hollow threats.

I am but a humble cable news host with a bachelor’s in philosophy, but I feel like at some point the bond market is also going to notice that the GOP is going to pass a deficit financed 5 trillion dollar tax cut. Maybe?

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

At this point, you can’t convince me they aren’t manipulating the market. As soon as the indexes started peaking today, the White House started talking about tariffs on China, and everything is in the red again.

Q: 60 Minutes found 75% of the migrants who were sent to El Salvador do not have criminal records. That true? BONDI: They're not Venezuelan migrants. They're illegal aliens from Venezuela who should not have been in our country Q: So you're confirming they didn't commit a crime? BONDI: leaves
