ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

#MedicaidCutsKill Medicaid pays for 60% of long-term care in this country. Over 40% of births. Nearly 40% of child healthcare. Cutting Medicaid for billionaire tax breaks is just cruel. Medicaid Cuts Kill!

These charges are so stupid. There was an ICE agent in the elevator with the defendant after he left the courtroom. But oh yeah, the state judge somehow obstructed ICE because she let the defendant leave the courtroom through a side entrance. The Trump DOJ is run by morons and thugs.

So while the world has been focused on the illegal deportation of a US Citizen… anyone wondering what fElon’s been up to these past few days? Cuz… it’s like crickets. I’m all for getting one US citizen back here… but scared 💩less about what’s going on while we’re not paying attention.

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.

US Senators from every one of these states—AR, TX, KY, MO, OK, MS, TN—(1) approved Trump/Musk/Doge cuts to NOAA and FEMA, and (2) said Calif would need to change its internal policies before getting federal help for LA fire disaster. Every one of these US Senators happens to be MAGA/GOP.

A reminder about the Smithsonian: the Vice President has a seat on the Board of Regents (defined by law). But he’s not chair of the Board, or vice chair, and he’s not on the Board’s executive committee. Structurally he has one vote.

If Pete Hegseth was a Black man, Trump and his entire cabinet would be blaming his breathtaking incompetence on being a “DEI hire.” Hearings will be forthcoming, right?

To recap: Trump admin is firing Social Security employees; requiring beneficiaries to visit field offices in person instead of calling; and then saying any beneficiaries whose checks don’t come, and who therefore can’t pay the rent, must be fraudsters. Insane. And not what Americans voted for.

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter. Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them. Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.
