More mentions than Epstein himself.

“If Republicans want to set a precedent where former presidents and their family members who have some involvement with Jeffrey Epstein have to come before Congress and can't defy any subpoenas to do so, then I'm fully in support of that precedent.”

ICE is not going after the "worst of the worst." They're going after 5 year olds like Liam Ramos and DEAF TEENAGERS NOW.

Come on, REALLY?!?

Republicans have to pay the price for this bullshit in November. Vote them out of office, all those useless saps.
ICE violently detain a deaf teenager—accuse him of "not listening" to their orders.

"They thought I was stupid—but NO!" he told rally.

"They shrugged at me, they didn't care because I'm deaf."

Agents did not provide sign language interpreter—then denied him access to bathroom.

Shutting down the Kennedy Center is even more serious than it looks

Trump is showing his desire to control American culture, echoing similar moves by autocrats around the world. And the Kennedy Center is a test case.

it has gotten overlooked, but Trump's new talking point that crime is down in Minneapolis because of him is preposterous. As of the end of last month his goons have committed the majority of 2026 murders in the city!

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Critics fear these tactics have a “chilling effect”, discouraging people from filming. The result? “These agents get to effectively be as unaccountable as any group in the history of our country,” says David Bier, of the Cato Institute.

What training manual in what agency instructs ICE agents that it's permissible to chase down a protestor and point a loaded gun at the top of their head while screaming at them?

We have to understand that ICE is being instructed by Trump to ignore law and convention and terrorize not police.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.
After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.

But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:

“It’s just weird to see a toddler in a pink onesie getting their eyes washed out from tear gas, you know?”
New — I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets.

These are their stories:

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

I’m a NO — not one more penny for ICE without stopping this violence. Two American citizens were killed by federal agents.

No more roving patrols. No more secret masked police. No more warrantless raids. Investigate and prosecute ICE crimes.

Get ICE out of Minnesota.
