Trump’s Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged.
As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Japan’s relationship with the U.S. seemed to be on solid footing. Now, the country is dealing with diplomatic whiplash after President Trump sent letters directing a subset of countries to change what the White House called unfair trade policies.

note that this completely inverts the public justification for the deportation scheme. they claim they’re deporting criminals, but they deported Kilmar without knowledge of a crime, and now that they supposedly found one they’re bringing him BACK.

CBS News' Scott Pelley delivered a powerful commencement address this week calling out the Trump administration's anti-American maneuvers. And Harvard's president got a standing ovation at their commencement for being a model of Trump resistance. 💪 For more moments of positivity, look no further.

My father had friends of many creeds and colors. He taught us to be fascinated by humanity’s differences. Then Fox News ruined him, injecting him with fear. He’s gone now, and I want to have fond memories. But I can’t help thinking of him as an avatar for how the right wing has poisoned my country.

In 2011, a Chicago officer pulled a woman over just to get her phone number, then called or texted her nearly 30 times.
Between 2017 and 2019, he was reported for sexual misconduct THREE MORE times before he was finally arrested.
