🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Trump's proposed data-sharing deal with Palantir would be an appalling attack on our privacy. It goes hand-in-hand with his attacks on habeas corpus. Liberals and conservatives should agree on this: we don't want mass surveillance or erosions of our civil liberties.

Contrary to claims made by its proponents, the mass deportations' components of the Big Beautiful Bill will not improve its CBO score. Indeed, it will make it much worse. Accounting for lost net revenue from immigrants adds nearly $1 trillion in additional cost.

"But, crucially, he’s said little—if anything—about the role that those tax cuts for the rich would have in that outcome. He is primarily obsessed with the bill’s “pork,” meaning that he wants the bill to cut more spending—much, much more."

if Mark Andressen - a guy who fundamentally does not believe in the consent of the governed, equal rights, and the obligation of people to each other in a society - can safely fit himself into your political worldview, it's either too vague to be useful or unacceptably authoritarian-friendly

Birds aren’t real you guys. Magic.

I need an intern to scribble out the "Honorable" part of Lutnick's title. He's a fascist moron.

They all think like this. It’s why we need money out of politics.

"[L]ocking people up for low-level marijuana possession is a waste of public dollars that should be going to keep families housed, keep the lights on, and help people."

Marco Rubio may claim USAID cuts aren’t killing people, but it’s a lie. And/or he’s bad at his job.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

They said they wanted to traumatize federal workers, and they have and continue to do so, but they also want to traumatize ALL of us, to habituate us to secret police snatching people off the street, gov & private buildings, schools, churches and hospitals. They want us traumatized & compliant.
