A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

I just thought I'd throw out some book titles that might be of interest: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk.
The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov. Stonewall by Martin Duberman.

That's right, funding ICE is much more important than funding research for children's cancer.
Congress allocated 75 billion dollars to ice over the next four years

You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.
Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

It was surprising to me that the President held his second inauguration inside. I assumed he didn’t want to risk another small crowd. Maybe it was something else.
Trump on the ballroom: "It will take care of the inauguration with bulletproof glass, drone-proof ceilings, and everything else unfortunately that today you need."
