Sen. Schatz: “Democrats have a tendency to love to dive into internal disagreements, especially as they relate to policy that won’t be enacted anytime soon. And I think we should resist that urge"

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

This CANNOT stand. This is an abomination. Fuck cruelty being the point! Somebody needs to stand up for what is right and against what is clearly a gross violation of children.

ProPublica could not find evidence Trump ever lived at either of the two Florida properties he claimed as principal residences in the 1990s.

Legal documents and other records from the period give his address as Trump Tower in Manhattan.

So now that we’ve pretty much completely abandoned the whole “on Day 1” thing; and “in two weeks” & “next quarter” didn’t work out too well either, what is the date when MAGA will agree that it is definitely Donald Trump’s economy and everything won’t be Biden’s fault?

I'm still just as fired up about Russia invading Ukraine as I am regarding Trump sending a mob to attack Congress on January 6, 2021. Both of these wrongs demand to be righted. Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is forgiven.

214 Democrats signed a discharge petition to force an up-or-down vote on extending Affordable Care Act tax credits to make sure tens of millions of Americans don't experience skyrocketing health insurance premiums. They just need FOUR House Republicans to join them.

Funny how Trump/MAGA went bazonkoid if anyone took issue with Charlie Kirk’s violent/racist/misogynistic rhetoric even though they condemned his assassination. Weird that they can’t understand that SANE people can despise violence AND YET NOT wish violence on someone who endorses it.

Why are people incapable of learning? Pinochet killed and tortured people, but sure let's elect his clone. Trump killed a million Americans, attempted a coup, incited a riot, extorted an ally, was convicted of felony election interference and found liable for rape. But America elected him again.

By 2028, no one under the age of 25 will have a functional memory of American life before Trump. No one younger than their early 30s will have been an adult when Trump rose to power.

Exactly the sort of tyrannical behavior that the Constitution was written to prevent. See the Fourth Amendment in particular.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

This is very sharp and hits an undercovered topic:
The Constitution guarantees your right to follow, record, protest, and notify others about the agents and what you see. These are core First Amendment rights, and DHS has clearly ordered its agents to threaten and violate those rights. cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...

Important post: my colleague documents an “official, nationwide policy of intimidating and threatening people who attempt to observe and record DHS operations,” or who peacefully and without interference follow and protest them, even though the First Amendment broadly protects doing those things. /1
On Dec. 4, DOJ labeled people who impede or "dox" ICE agents "domestic terrorists." I document how DHS believes following, recording, and protesting agents is "impeding," and has a policy of threatening & arresting ICE observers. That's unconstitutional. www.cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...
