SCOOP — ICE employees received an email yesterday telling them the agency's warrantless arrest policy had been rescinded. It's likely part of the Trump administration's efforts to further loosen enforcement restrictions to meet the new quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day. My report:

"When you write legislation that cuts into the flesh of the working poor, you cannot call it policy.” Republicans’ big cruel bill is not policy, it is an affront to the people that our government was built to uplift.

Watch and listen. Passionate and honest @replsimon.bsky.social lets the world know what is happening if this budget is passed. Unbelievable cruelty upon those who need it most. And after hearing this, those in the committee still voted yes. Do you think they'll go to the public to say why?

Padilla didn’t shout or rush the stage. He identified himself as a U.S. Senator. And still he was handcuffed & dragged out like a threat. That’s not order. That’s a warning. In the early 1930s, Germany called it “maintaining stability.” Elected officials were arrested, silenced, erased. #Resist

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

“Even some MAGA Republicans warn that the bill’s deep Medicaid cuts will hammer Trump’s working-class base. Trump is actively deceiving his base by pretending those cuts only target fraud. Musk, similarly, would use the ‘waste, fraud & abuse’ canard to absolutely annihilate the state if he could.”

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes
