I know it's not worth trying to understand but I still don't understand how someone can think they're the good guy as they assault multiple members of Congress, including a little old lady, in order to arrest a mayor for trying to serve court papers on a federal agency

Why isn’t Mayor Baraka allowed to go inspect a detention center in his city?? He’s the Mayor for God’s sake. What are they hiding that they don’t want people to see and why are the ICE agents covering their faces like outlaws? Somebody do something!!!! pix11.com/news/local-n...

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-New Jersey): If they can do this to us and to Mayor Ras Baraka, they can do it to anybody. They're gearing up. We waited for over an hour to be addressed by ICE, we had the authority to be there. While we were in the waiting area,

ICE would post up outside the manger to disappear Mary to a foreign torture prison after snatching the baby Jesus and holding him in a private, for-profit tender-age detention facility.

MAGA thinks Dems upset about the Trump admin suspending the writ of habeas corpus (which is essentially declaring martial law) is a self-own since Lincoln did it during the Civil War. Yes, it was designed for things like a Civil War. Not for judicial decisions you disagree with.

I’ll always associate Justice Souter with one of my favorite SCOTUS oral-argument moments, in Chicago v. Morales (anti-gang loitering law), when he asked plaintively why it isn't enough of a "purpose" for being in a public place if you just want to sit outside and watch the cars go by ❤️

Scoop: Ricardo Prado Vasquez, a man who was 'disappeared' by ICE, is on a hacked flight manifest for a March 15 flight to El Salvador. This means US govt may have a less detailed list of who it's deporting than a private airline: www.404media.co/man-disappea...

Art of the deal is raising the tariff to 145% then cutting it almost in half despite the fact that China has made no concessions and has completely ignored you. Xi just sits back at laughs at our orange clown.

NO ONE should ever sign up for a Medicare "Advantage" plan. My elderly cousins did so because it was cheaper than regular Medicare. They got horrible doctors and horrible service. What a scam it is.

It is an honor that Pope Leo XIV hails from the United States. We are reminded by his urging for the world to build bridges—that what unites us is stronger than what divides us. I hope to one day meet and have an audience with him to discuss the most urgent issues of our time.

Appointing a wellness influencer with an inactive medical license as Surgeon General is like naming a retired food blogger as Secretary of Agriculture. Credentialed branding is not a substitute for public health expertise.
