Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves.

If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such.

🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

NEW: MORE BOMBSHELLS

The Pentagon’s former chief spokesman is warning that more “bombshell stories” about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are coming — set to leak within days, and that members of Hegseth’s own inner circle will applaud his inevitable ouster.

This screenshot is the smoking gun.

The Defense Secretary—on Signal—live texting classified strike times to people without the proper clearance.

Hegseth’s defense? Blame a “disgruntled employee” and bash the media. And the White House is still standing by him.

Andry Hernandez Romero, the Venezuelan makeup artist sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison, claimed asylum in the US because he was persecuted as a gay man.

Chris Van Hollen met in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Andry lived in San Diego—why hasn’t Alex Padilla or Adam Schiff met with him? 🤨

Wilmington, NC showed up and showed out for the #NoKings protests! Got to meet my friend @jaybird54.bsky.social and her husband there. It’s always fun to resist this fascists regime with friends! Get out there and have your voices be heard.

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.

It’s disgusting and dangerous.

If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.

Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.

To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

THIS NEEDS MORE ATTENTION!

The budget the GOP is hashing up is economic warfare on working families.

Slash Medicaid? Gut safety nets? Run up the debt to hand $4.5 trillion to billionaires. Everyday families are left to scramble while the rich pop champagne.
