This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalist’s home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.

Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

@samanthamichaels.bsky.social hid out with an immigrant family in Memphis, where the onslaught of ICE has reshaped daily life, drawing comparisons to 1930s Germany.
I'm a veteran criminal justice reporter. I've never seen anything like ICE-occupied Memphis.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

For more on the Trump official who's been dreaming about this shutdown "since puberty," read @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social's excellent deep-dive into Russell Vought.

He's one of the "key figures leading us into a new and violently authoritarian future.”

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

My kids got to see two amazing national parks this summer.
Yosemite and Yellowstone were both full of spectacular beauty.
I’m so grateful to the National Park Service for all that it does to keep these natural spaces available. #NPSBirthday
