It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

There are people with principled takes on the 2nd Amendment, like the 1st.
But if you ever believed that the American Right broadly supported 2nd Amendment rights, as opposed to rights for people who agreed with them, you are a fool.

Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.
In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

Silly word games. He hasn’t been fired from his actual job in CBP as chief of El Centro Sector; they’re letting him slink back to that while he runs out the clock on his retirement. “Commander at large” was a made-up assignment Noem gave him running the traveling circus. He’s been canned from that.

ICE is riddled with sex criminals.
A January 2026 report by the Pacific Antifascist Research Collective identified 30 ICE and CBP agents with documented convictions and arrests, some for serious violent and sexual crimes.
At least 20 committed offenses with underage victims.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

NEW: One of Pope Leo XIV’s top U.S. allies, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, is calling for the defunding of ICE.
Tobin says the “lawless organization” is a “machinery of death.”
This marks the first time a senior Church leader has called for ICE to be defunded. More are expected in the coming days.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

This is not a rogue agency. This is an agency doing exactly what it’s been told to do, from the President down.
I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.
It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.
Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

Trump’s contemplated annexation of Greenland and his attempt to create a Board of Peace are manifestations of the same impulse: Trump wants to do whatever he wants, wherever he wants, unconstrained by any checks or balances, and he would like to make a lot of money doing it. wapo.st/46dUKAF

Trump’s attempt to rival the U.N., with him in charge, is likely to disappear and be quickly forgotten.
