Not really sure how you can see Evelyn Normielib (D, Texas) setting fire to a facility that might have the possibility of becoming an ICE concentration camp and despair about how Dem primary voters are gonna pick Gavin "We are Charlie Kirk" Newsom as the nominee

Once again, Bill is still the conservative opinion here, because we're at wine moms lightning potential ICE concentration camps on fire IN MISSOURI as a real thing. The fact that Chuck isn't even at defund means he needs to retire and go away.
C’mon, Chuck. You’re fighting to “rein in” ICE? DEFUND ICE.
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.
And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

“They were hellbent on not allowing anybody to help him until he was dead,” she said. “I was right there, and they — all of them — made the decision to deny me access to give him the best possible chance of survival.”

we kinda tried this. it was called "being cancelled." it was more of an ambition than an actual thing that happened to people.
and, in response, the ruling class absolutely lost its shit and decided even this mere glimmer of socially-enforced norms of behavior was jacobinism.

I feel like modern republics' constitutions sort of ignore oligarchic threat. But this is a serious example of what in the antiquity lead to ostracism. No guilt. You are found to be over-influential, 10 years pause. But of what in today's condition? And how to implement it?

Local immigrant defense networks were deluged with life and death cases. They put a call out for private lawyers to step in and provide pro bono help.
My firm did. And since we joined the effort on January 14, it’s been some of the hardest, most exhausting, most depressing month of my life.

I do really wish more reporters would just ask "Speaker Johnson, do you think it’s appropriate for the Speaker of the House—third in line of succession to the presidency—to be so consistently unfamiliar with current events?"
Q: Rep. Jayapal accused the DOJ of tracking her search history. Is that appropriate conduct?
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that
Q: Bondi had a piece of paper with Jayapal's search history
JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that but it would be inappropriate if it happened

If anyone has any evidence that folks doing the kind of activism and observing that Pretti and Good were doing when killed were inspired by *elected officials,* I'd love to see it.
Because from my reporting in Minneapolis, exactly zero people cited elected officials as inspiration.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.
