Barack Obama almost never jumps into the chaos. The fact that he’s speaking out now — repeatedly and urgently — is a warning. Something is deeply wrong. America needs to listen.

We are polluting our air and running out of drinking water so we can render fake photos of people with six fingers and so that students can mindlessly have computers do their homework for them?

ICE has merely assimilated into communities - now wearing baseball hats, sweatshirts, hoodies, jeans, no masks- pretending to be part of the peaceful protesters, have orange whistles! New strategy for being a real peaceful protester!

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

DHS funding ran out at midnight last night, triggering a partial government shutdown.
Republicans had a choice between supporting massively popular, desperately needed restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol or shutting down DHS. And they chose to shut down DHS. 🧵

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

The "SAVE America Act" goes far beyond requiring a photo ID to vote.
It is a deliberate effort by President Trump and Republicans to disenfranchise millions of Americans from the ballot box.

In a sharp rebuke, a federal judge ruled that the DOJ’s hunt for state voter rolls stripped it of the trust courts afford to federal law enforcement agencies.
The decision could provide a roadmap for other courts to scrutinize both the legality and the motives behind the department’s demands.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.
