As I shared on @theweekendprime.bsky.social, we’re witnessing the largest “de-documentation” effort in modern US history.
That runs contrary to the will of the American people, who overwhelmingly support a balanced approach between border security and functional legal immigration pathways.

The New York Times covers trans issues the way Fox News covers ICE protests.
Both lead the country to believe there is a conflagration by highlighting a few fires over and over, while ignoring the fact that most people just want to live their lives without the government in their faces.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.
While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.
This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Weird thing about working an early morning show --you go to bed and sometimes when you wake up --everything's different . In that sense, despite the odd hours, it makes you like everybody else going about their lives

They’re coming for global health, humanitarian aid, national security—& even PBS & NPR.
Let me be real clear:
What they’re cutting saves lives, keeps the world stable, and tells the truth.

Rep. McIver was conducting oversight. That’s her duty as a Member of Congress.
This isn’t justice—it’s retaliation.

Everyone deserves correct identification that reflects who we are.
