This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.
His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.
Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Embarrassing and pathetic. Exactly the kind of whiny passifying we've come to expect from Chucky.
We already have a warrant requirement. It's called the US Constitution. If that's not fucking binding them, what the hell does your little agreement mean?
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the party agreed on three main goals:
° Require warrants in some cases and ICE coordination with state and local law enforcement
° Create a code of conduct and enforce it
° Require agents to wear body cams and not masks

Tomorrow is the Senate vote for more ICE funding. Some Senators are throwing around “no funding without ‘conditions’”. WRONG!!!!
Call your 2 Senators now!!! (202) 224-3121
Tell them NO funding at all for ICE! None!!! They need to get out of our cities. They need to stop terrorizing communities

“I am disheartened and sad…that we cannot demonstrate our sympathy for the beleaguered, that we are told immigrants, which most of us are or descended from, are unwelcome, that we cannot show our frustration in peaceful demonstration, and that we can be attacked and even killed by Federal troops.”
Martha Stewart Issues Rare Political Statement After Stern Text From 14-Year-Old Granddaughter
'I'm not sure it's excusable to not be speaking up right now,' wrote Stewart's granddaughter, inspiring a heartfelt post from the lifestyle media mogul.

ICE agents and FPS unlawfully escalated a peaceful, if noisy, protest in front of a Minneapolis hotel, used chemical weapons, and physical violence. When can we expect to see arrest warrants for assault and property damage?

If you don't defund ICE, you are the ugly hand on the baby's backpack and you can roast in hell with the rest if them.

The last few years have been exceedingly challenging personally, and, you know, environmentally. Last month, my husband bought me something that's brought me hours and hours of peace in these turbulent times. If you like casual strategy board games, Railroad Ink has saved my sanity.

I discovered @scalzi.com through Starter Villain, because a cat in a suit immediately gets my attention, and just finished Old Man's War, 3 min ago. While they're two very different stories, both met me exactly where I needed. Am now contemplating a @barnesandnoble.com run for the next one!

Where is everyone donating to ensure people don't starve during the SNAP benefit cut? Are there organizations better/more efficient than others in terms of distribution and ease of access for those who need it?

In am effort to distract myself from...all this... I've been diving headlong into reading, and in the last two weeks have run through nearly the entirety of the #dungeoncrawlercarl books. I don't think I've ever read 2000ish pages in as short a time frame. #donutholes all the way!

You know, I didn't think I could be shocked by anything else this admin does, but. The Qataris are building an air force base in Idaho. Did not have foreign military bases on the continental 48 on my 2025 bingo card.

I’ve been in New York riding the subway with my seven month old daughter for the past several days and I feel much safer doing that than pushing her stroller across a busy street in most of the rest of the country or taking her in a car on the freeway.

When Joe Biden referred to "shylocks" in 2014, the ADL admonished him. I look forward to seeing the group similarly criticize President Trump for using the term today.

As a reminder, slavery led to the first Civil War. The South, as usual, pro using detention labor as free farm labor, the North, as usual, looking down on the despicables with shame. Let's see where we go from here.
This is an absolutely fascinating concept.
There's also another remedy that civil rights lawyers should be looking at to address the oncoming, supercharged ICE misconduct: the Federal Tort Claims Act.

There will now be 10,000 new ICE agents & 100,000 new detention beds--and few safeguards protecting people from constitutional violations by the feds.
Time for states to pass laws allowing people to sue fed agents. Read about it these "converse-1983" statutes here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Because we eat our own, while Rs back the lowest common denominator? Because the ancient leadership pushed him to run again because they don't want to acknowledge their own aging problem?
Ultimately the DNC scammed and scarred a good, kind man because they're selfish pricks. And we let them. Shame.

How was Joe Biden forced out of a presidential race for a disastrous debate and for looking frail and for confusing names, but this man, one of the most ignorant men to ever be elected to any office, allowed to continue on as president and treated as a normal, serious leader??

At this point, anything further they release is completely untrustworthy. They've demonstrated their willingness to engage in manipulation and cover up, and I would suspect anything they voluntarily release.
That would be the right approach for a government whose lodestar were the national interest, as opposed to a government whose principal objective is to salve the delicate ego of the pathological narcissist who leads it.
