Shouldn't Schumer and Jeffries tell Trump:
Sorry, can't make it to the White House to chat tomorrow! You say a major city is so 'war-ravaged' as to require deploying federal troops authorized to use 'Full Force' against U.S. citizens. So we feel a responsibility to head to Portland to take a look.

Justice Sotomayor’s dissent on today’s SCOTUS order which allows the government to make indiscriminate immigration stops of anyone who looks Latino or speaks Spanish is absolutely worth the read.

What Happens After ICE Chews You Up and Spits You Out?
No longer detained, but the fear remains.

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism.
Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?

I want to congratulate leading Democrats’ for their insistence on saying the takeover of DC is a “stunt” or a “distraction.”
It’s a rare trifecta of intellectual failure, political stupidity, and moral obtuseness.

200 days into Trump's term, where are we?
In the race between Trump's authoritarianism and efforts to resist it, authoritarianism is ahead. And while there are hopeful signs from the public, the chance of effective resistance is, for now, being fatally undermined by the capitulation of the elites.

What a contrast:
On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat.
On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse.
Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

Every elected Democrat in Congress needs to pledge to prosecute everyone responsible for this at the earliest opportunity. There must be justice and consequences for these crimes.
NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.

This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.
