I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program.

The Pentagon just failed its 8th consecutive audit and still got approved for a $1 TRILLION budget without blinking so I'm gonna need every corrupt hypocritical politician complaining about made up food stamp fraud and forcing drug tests and work requirements on poor people to shut up forever. Thx.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Donald selling access to the highest bidder - doesn’t even know who Liz Truss is www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Nothing says the ‘special relationship’ is over like this picture of Donald Trump and Liz Truss | Zoe Williams
It’s awkward, nobody seems to know what is going on, and the president’s thumb is at half-mast. It’s almost a metaphor for diplomatic relations between the US and the UK, writes Zoe Williams

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

It seems like anyone that wants to commit crimes without accountability is applying for jobs with ICE and they’re being hired. ICE is full of dangerous people that want to hurt people. I don’t want to pay for that.

Trump being held accountable for his actions is not "weaponization of government"
His response to the attempt to hold him accountable... All the probes, and the raids, and now spying, and attempting to seek indictment (and failing)... all of this is weaponization, and republicans are QUIET.
