I came to this country on a boat. I didn't have a penny to my name, owning only the clothes on my back. I didn't speak a word of English. Of course, I was only 6 months old, but in time, I overcame those handicaps and became the man I am today. #Democrats
Truth is we have NO IDEA who those people are. White nationalists? Proud Boys? Klan? Nazis? and a cohort of street criminals in ICE drag randomly assaulting people and robbing them?! JFC wake up people!

A vote for ANY Republican IS a vote for Trump. There is no light between them. They don’t think for themselves. They obey his dangerous whims without question. I know I won’t be alone connecting them together ahead of the election. I just didn’t think Trump would be helping us do it! Thanks bruh! 🤷♂️😆

Perfect. Trump, with approvals in the toilet, is going to put another nail in the coffin of Republicans in the midterms.

While this is a good start, I think there needs to be something in the new law about ICE not targeting legal immigrants without criminal records, and making clear what the mission is.
We have to attack the outrageous fiction that Trump-Miller are targeting only criminal migrants.

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

Blumenthal: "I'm a no vote on that spending bill unless there are conditions that require ICE to go to a judge, to get a warrant, as well as other kinds of constraints -- the use of masks, the non-identification, the unmarked cars. These secret police, totalitarian tactics need to be stopped."

When this is all over someday, it’ll probably turn out that these guys were basically just bounty hunters, paid by how many people they could arrest and detain.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

Don’t laugh: If this ever winds its way up to the Supreme Court, they’ll probably rule affordable housing policies to be unconstitutional.
The Trump administration has opened an investigation into Boston’s affordable housing policies, accusing the city of engaging in a “racialist theory of housing justice” that discriminates against white people.
Trump's HUD accuses Boston of engaging in "redlining" against white people
More than 50 years ago, the Trump family faced a similar government challenge for refusing to rent to Black people.

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

Immigration enforcement is underway in Southeast Louisiana and on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Today we can confirm some people have been detained in Kenner, LaPlace, and New Orleans. ICE agents have also been spotted staging in Metairie, Gretna, the River Parishes. Stay safe out there. 🙏🏻
