Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.

Two options:

1) ICE deliberately targeted him.

2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.

Hard to say which option is scarier.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

US Citizen, with a valid drivers license, is traumatized by ICE at a checkpoint if FL.

Her crime, per ICE — she didn’t roll down her window far enough.

All of this…because they couldn’t be bothered to check her ID.

What are we doing? Why are these gestapo tactics being allowed to continue?

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The WSJ confirms that in the leadup to Pete Hegseth's serial war crimes in the Caribbean, he made clear to commanders that our military code *was not to be followed*—no questions were to be asked of any orders. It led to the resignation of the top commander in the Caribbean.

What did minimum wage get you each decade? In 2025, it buys you nothing but exhaustion.

There’s not a single place in America where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford even a modest 2-bedroom. Not one. That’s the economy we’re living in. #TrumpAffordabilityCrisis

Another stupid question, sorry.

If you're trying to flip a boat that's loaded with drugs, wouldn't the boat be upside-down? If so, how can Cotton tell it was loaded with drugs?

Also, if you're in the open sea and your boat is overturned, are you going to try to right it?

Q: What did you see in the second strike?

Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

In 1961 I started working full time for minimum wage. I had to budget, but I paid my rent, car payment, school fees and books, utilities and groceries. Who can do that now? #TrumpAffordabilityCrisis

As Trump pardons a real estate developer who’d been charged with corruption by his own Justice Department, an unsettling fact appears obvious:

Trump made a right-turn at *abiding* corruption and is now, though his pardon abuses, effectively *encouraging* corruption. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
With yet another controversial pardon, Trump derails his own DOJ’s corruption case
There’s a fine line between a president using pardons to abide corruption and using them to encourage corruption.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.

The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.

It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.

Textbook corporate greed.

A high school kid and US citizen was driving his dad's car at lunch. ICE smashed the car window, dragged him out, and then said they didn't care that he was a citizen and arrested him anyway.

Now he faces charges of “interference or obstruction of investigation.”
