Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene have both now said that Fox News is propaganda. The right wing is tearing itself apart and I’m loving every minute of it.

I.C.E. is unwarranted.

Frankly, I don't feel safe when I know who and what they are, I can see their faces or even if they're wearing cameras to record every move they make. I certainly don't feel safe with a bunch of random heavily armed, masked slobs doing whatever the hell they please. Guess I'm funny like that.

I will never again see an ICE agent without assuming they're from Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, a pardoned Jan 6 rioter or a member of the KKK.

Had jury duty this week. The defendant had committed five armed robberies WITH A MACHINE GUN. When asked what I think about firearms, I said: "I think the Second Amendment is one of the stupidest things America ever did, other than the way activist judge Antonin Scalia willfully misinterpreted it."

28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say. From ProPublica partner @texastribune.org:

Ahmed Muhammad, 18, made history as the first Black male valedictorian at Oakland Technical High School, graduating with a 4.73 GPA. He was accepted to all 11 colleges he applied to, and he will attend Stanford University.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, “By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent.” apnews.com/article/supr... Supreme Court OKs Tennessee ban on gender-affirming care

The Trump regime is deliberately deploying ICE agents at immigration hearings so they can more easily detain migrants. Armed, masked men abducting people from courthouses —and arresting those who ask why — is the stuff fascism is made of.

Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do… Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money. And this parade helped nobody.

I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

As long as they’re hiding their faces, badges and names we should stop calling them “federal agents.” Call them masked goons or unidentified thugs or whatever, unless and until they provide proper ID.

Montage of our NO KINGS demonstration last Saturday. We now must take our success forward to make the change we so badly need ... for immigrants, the environment, marginalized communities, our democracy ... for us all. We are Indivisible. We can do it together. #nokings #indivisible #iceoutof805

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.

Call me cautious, but I’m not optimistic about a war run by a reality TV show Commander-in-Chief and his TV talk show chatterbox Secretary of Defense.

C-SPAN caller to Tapper: "When are you going to examine what's going on with Trump? ... this president has been pure chaos, which indicates to me that there is something wrong with him. We will never get a straight answer on his medical exam, and yet you have gone after Joe Biden with a vengeance."

NEW: The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that a 2021 censorship law can't be used to ban teaching about race and gender in Oklahoma's higher education institutions. This is a win for academic freedom and the First Amendment.

so like i know brad lander is a candidate for mayor but maybe the headlines should focus on the fact they arrested the guy CURRENTLY IN CHARGE OF NEW YORK CITY’S FINANCES

Governor Tim Walz, "The way our nation moves forward is not through hate. It is not through violence. It is through humility, and grace, and compassion.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

Someone on twitter tell this ass hat Congressman Fine that Trump shouldnt have dumped the policy in Iran NOT TO DEVELOP NUCLEAR ARMS. Trump is a joke.

Makes you think huh? Same as the employers who hire undocumented workers, making coin on slave wages. American racism.

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

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.

We were promised peace through strength and we got wars from incompetence.

“No Kings” protests by the numbers… Y’all showed up in record numbers and sent the message loud and clear. Now let’s keep that same energy and civic fire through 2026. 🔥

WATCH: Fired Ex-ABC journalist Terry Moran stands ten toes down on what he said about Stephen Miller’s hateful heart🖤when talking to @thebulwark.com’s @timmiller.bsky.social (no relation) Be truthful not neutral is our motto too, Terry 👊🏼 Full: terrymoran.substack.com/p/live-inter...

Trump vacated that agreement. Such a crappy take. Obama knew what he was doing.

Russia did not invade Ukraine in 2022 because the G8 kicked Russia out. The G8 kicked out Russia in 2014 *in response* to Russia forcefully taking Crimea from Ukraine. The timing and rationale is well documented. It's not in dispute. It's just that the US president is a Russian-sympathetic liar.
