ICE says they will bring charges against the two Immigration Rapid Response Hotline volunteers who demanded that agents show their badges before seizing two men from the Charlottesville courthouse. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...

A shameful, pathetic act, underscored by the fact that the ICE statement was issued by a spokesperson who refused to be identified. Challenging the government is a duty of a free people.

@gelliottmorris.com Any thoughts on what CBS is doing with their approval polls? They seem to have started eliminating "don't know/unsure" responses and then recalculating their percentages. Has this ever been how approval is expressed? Seems to favor Trump who is actively extorting them.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex condemned ICE’s detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, calling it a “tyrannical” move.

“If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too."

My fear is that the Trump administration arrested Mahmoud Khalil to make an example out of him because they’re gambling Dems won’t put their jobs and lives on the line to protect a Palestinian.

The ADL has now publicly *congratulated the Trump administration* for arresting green card holder Mahmoud Khalil

Trump take nest egg

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Lmao 50/50 approval with this partisan split hahahaha

Senator, welcome to Bluesky.

Can you explain why you're sponsoring a bill to repeal Section 230, which would effectively make it impossible for Bluesky to do what it's doing today, creating this kind of space?

Thanks.

So many Nazi salutes at CPAC this yr that it's literally just a Nazi conference

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

At the end of his CPAC speech, Steve Bannon exclaimed “Fight! Fight! Fight!”, raised his arm in a brief Nazi salute gesture, brought his arm down, nodded his head at the crowd, and then said, “Amen!”

GOP Senators and House members are scared of being murdered by Trump supporters if they don’t support Trump. This is fascism in America. My latest:

Pretty clear this is where we were headed. They’re going to weaponize audits and private data to go after political enemies.

This is horseshit. If you fear protests will lead to martial law then you already live under martial law — and you’re the one who declared it.

Plus, it *won’t* lead to a declaration of martial law and the fear misconstrues the nature of the threats we face.

I know this sounds trivial in the context of everything going on, but Dems have gotta get some polls in the field. Republicans are doing push polls that show Elon double digits underwater and can't pull a positive split on the cuts. You have to start laying the groundwork of his unpopularity.

They're gonna cut Elon loose. They're employing what I'm sure is a hilarious likely voter screen (likely to vote in what fucking election lmao) here to keep Trump's numbers juiced while conveying Musk's plummeting approval.
