An elected official accepting a 747 from a foreign country is so flamboyantly illegal that any news outlet characterizing it as "controversial" or "an ethical issue" should be ignored, have their subscriptions canceled and their reporters banned as TV pundits forever. This isn't close.

ICE agents should not be permitted to wear masks. They should have their names and identification numbers clearly displayed to all. Democracy and protecting our rights depends upon public accountability. Masked agents of the state abusing and disappearing people is not exactly friendly to that.

Someone tell the NY Times that Hillary is accepting a plane from Qatar. Then maybe they’ll stop being pussies and start covering it for the corruption that it is.

Legality aside, how pathetic for the American head of state to fly around in the plane he got as a valentine from the Emir of Qatar. A kept little man.

Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them.
They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather.
We cannot allow them to terrorize us.
Eyes open. Phones on.

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!”

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.
This isn't due to luck or skill.
Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.
Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.
All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.
