ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, exploiting children, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.

The Trump Administration is advertising how great they think the country will be after deporting 100 million people, even though there are only about 14 million illegal aliens in the country. Who else does he plan to deport?

The person leading our country is a vainglorious basket case attempting to put his name on everything he can see.
We have to assume that he believes his declining health means his time in the Oval Office will soon end, and he has to leave his mark before he goes.

To increase Grok’s popularity, xAI embraced making sexualized material, rolling back guardrails and ignoring internal warnings about the risks of producing such content, according to more than a half-dozen former employees of X and xAI.

I think Democrats should start using focused ad hoc bicameral working groups to attack and undermine Trump’s illiberalism - the tariffs, his unprecedented corruption, is selling out of Ukraine and Europe to Putin, his undermining of our elections, etc.
Democrats in Congress need to immediately appoint an adhoc bicameral working group to organize civil society and the legal community to stop Trump's ongoing desecration of our national monuments and the Capital. This has gone too far. Congress must step up and fight.
So he’s announcing the demolition of the Kennedy Center, correct? He’s East-Winging it

Immigrants enrich our country and always have. We must defeat Trumpism and all its racism, xenophobia, and general hatred of "the other." #NHPolitics
Sixteen years in MN and I’ve never set foot in this miraculous place: a midwestern dive bar where everyone is Hmong, with an attached pool hall, EDM stage, and where you can order pho until midnight. The idea people would want to kick immigrants out of this region is insane.
