Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Chart admirably demonstrating the climate trend
It's leading to record wildfires, floods, rising seas, extreme storms & typhoons, harvest failures
And whilst the tech is around to curtail the problem, humanity, right now, just isn't doing so

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

When Kristi Noem wears a cowboy hat and speaks from a podium draped in camo lace flanked by men who appear to be ICE agents and soldiers, what is she trying to achieve? Who is she trying to impress? Does this give her credibility?

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up.
But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

Happy New Years!
2025 was one of the hardest years of my life. My family dealt with job loss, lawsuits, brain injuries, broken bones, major surgeries, school shootings. It was a lot. But we made it. Here’s to a boring 2026!!

I am hoping 2026 is better than this dumpster fire of a year. This last year included brain surgery, pool cancer (yes, it’s a thing that all up cost multiple six figures), head injuries, cars getting totaled, layoffs, and a school shooting. There were some good things. But for the love…

I am a PhD student at Brown. One week ago, I was focused on preparing for my finals. Returning to grad school in my 40s was hard, and I was nervous about the tests.
I had no idea how this week would change. I had no idea that my finals would be the least of my worries by Saturday afternoon.

I feel so grateful to the Providence, Rhode Island, and Federal law enforcement agencies that worked together to find the Brown shooter. This week has been so hard. I hope I will wake up feeling less fear tomorrow.

This article is heartbreaking. More evidence of how the administration’s cuts to USAID are causing suffering and death.
NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.
Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.
