Again, why do they dress like a band of highwaymen instead of a properly constituted police force? They’re inside the security envelope of a public courthouse.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

Posted this afternoon. Masked ICE agents arresting immigrants at their court hearings in Dallas.

REPORTER: There is no credible evidence of a genocide in South Africa. What information was given by experts in the field to support this? TAMMY BRUCE: As we all knew, the president has been very vocal about his concern about the violence

Protesters go after ICE in Arizona 🧵

This budget makes ICE the largest funded government program of all time.... It builds our gestapo. These folks here are here to control us.

Clyde owns gun shops in Georgia.

It’s ok to bribe the president when he’s on a break

If Harvard was really about that life, they'd announce a freeze on legacy admissions until international students were permitted again. See how fast the fascists blink.

The "party of the working class," everyone.

Tariff shakedowns continue.

At 9:00 AM this morning the entire Pentagon got an email inviting them to a “Christian prayer and worship service” from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. A Cabinet member directly violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

BREAKING: A Federal judge has just ordered the return of an in air plane carrying deported migrants to South Sudan. The Judge says if they fail to comply, he will jail all officials and the pilot, for Contempt of Court.

CBO says Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill will add 3.8 TRILLION to the national debt. Fiscal responsibility, my ass.

It's crazy that The Declaration of Independence is basically just "You created ICE so it's time to revolt."

Congressional Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

WARREN: Can POTUS legally tell the IRS to change someone's nonprofit status? BILLY LONG: I'm not able to answer WARREN: You can't read these words and tell me what those words say?! LONG: I can read the statute and I did WARREN: Then tell me what they mean!

The House Rules Committee -- which changes bills however the House speaker tells it to before they hit the House floor -- is meeting Weds at 1am to bring up the GOP's massive tax plan, which strips health insurance from 13.7M people to give tax breaks to rich people. Definitely nothing to see here!

EVOLUTION: ya let's just put the eating pipe and breathing pipe right next to each other. they'll figure it out

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

This secretive arrangement sets a dangerous precedent, suggesting that criminal affiliations can be overlooked for strategic gains, while ordinary individuals face stringent immigration policies. The administration must be held accountable for this hypocrisy. #ElChapoDeal #CartelHypocrisy

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination. Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France. Sheesh.

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver. This is a political stunt—point blank.

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

Ashli’s Babbitt's family just got $5 million - who knew treason came with a pension plan?

We are being sold like livestock to the highest bidder. Everything is for sale. Every spineless Repub in Congress is responsible for this. They repeated the lies & stoked the anger of people too busy and desperate for relief while PICKING THEIR POCKETS. There is no GOP, it's the Fuck America party.

“Sorry, we don’t have enough money for universal healthcare, we’re too busy paying people whose family members tried to overthrow the federal government”

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Make noise people

Leavitt: "He continues to remain committed to the idea of obtaining Greenland in whatever means we can."

"It is offensive to call us the Gestapo when in fact we are simply a Secret State Police force. A Geheime Staatspolizei, if you will."

I’d like work requirements for Congress…

Curious to know what the Salience Bros/popularists would have to say about this polling. Doesn't this strongly suggest that Dems *should* talk about these things a lot more?

Recent news that the administration would be remotely wiping the devices of departing USAID employees risks permanently destroying official government records. We expanded our lawsuit, challenging the agency’s troubling pattern of obstruction. americanoversight.org/american-ove...

The president’s son.

Not only dumb but dangerous AF. This is North Korea level shit.

When did they give The Count freeform locs?

The Federal Park service brought in 55 Billion last year, but only cost the Federal Government 3.5 Billion to run. No waste, fraud and abuse. Just an evil asshole that doesn't want us to have a Park service.

And, as always, E.W. gets it right.

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.
