Someone has been putting together a database of the license plates connected to the cars that the ICE agents are driving. After researching the plate numbers they do not line up; the plates don't belong to the cars they were on.

I followed every member of Congress who has an account on Bluesky.

Why is Representative Nikema Williams the only person demanding an end to the unlawful takeover in DC?
We must put an end to Donald Trump's unlawful takeover of D.C. I've co-sponsored two bills: one to limit the President's control over D.C., and another to require the President to report to #Congress before deploying the National Guard in non-disaster relief situations. (1)

Zorhan is from Uganda. Let him flex some muscles.
UPDATE: Fox News reports that ICE told Kilmar Abrego Garcia they are going to deport him to Uganda on Monday.

"Exhaustion is a strategy. Distraction is a strategy. Confusion is a strategy. And while we’ve been caught up in the noise, Trump has been moving forward with something far more dangerous than the daily scandals: a long-term plan to rig the system so he never loses power again.”

UPDATE: House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia is calling for Chairman Comer to "release the full, unedited transcript" of ex-Trump AG Bill Barr's closed-door deposition on the Epstein case because, according to Garcia, "Barr could not clear President Trump of wrongdoing."

It is unconscionable that the democratic party has failed so utterly to respond to this moment.

We need new leadership
A police escort to and from my house and nowhere else because my white coworkers said so?

And you’re asking what else could they have done?

I don’t fucking think so.

The Democrats are cowards. And their cowardice is what is emboldening the Republicans.
So what do you suggest instead? Earnest question!

Srsly Todd Blanch is the guy who got Ghislane Maxwell put into Club Fed.

He should be tarred and feathered. Publicly.
The federal officer who arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka outside an immigration detention center in May suggested that he was following the direction of the DOJ's No. 2 official, Todd Blanche, according to bodycam footage.
‘We are arresting the mayor right now, per the deputy attorney general’
An account of bodycam footage, submitted in a recent court filling, provides new detail about a confrontation outside a New Jersey immigration facility.

Yesterday was the 105th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which finally gave women the right to vote.

It was also the day Donald Trump announced he would try to (illegally) end voting by mail and voting machines.

We must stand up for our democracy, now more than ever.

Remember when Ronald Reagan and the CIA funneled crack cocaine into black neighborhoods in connection with funding the Contras and arms deals with Iran?

I do.

You know who the AG was that covered up Iran-Contra?

Bill Barr.

The American people don't understand why the US needs to be the nation to do this.

They need to be reminded, ad nauseam, about the Budapest Memorandum and the treaty we have with them to protect them from Russian aggression.
The Ukrainian people want and deserve peace and the 20,000 kidnapped Ukrainian children cannot be used as a bargaining chip by the Russians.

We need a ceasefire and a pathway to a lasting peace that involves security guarantees for Ukraine.

New in PN: Don't listen to centrist Democrats about crime

"The right response to Trump’s authoritarianism isn’t to say 'maybe he has a point.' It’s to attack him and his allies for their dishonesty, their thuggishness, and their failures. That’s how Democrats avoid looking weak."
Don't listen to centrist Democrats about crime
They're wrong on the policy and wrong on the politics.

Where is the response from national Democrats?

I hear crickets.
Let us be clear: armed soldiers should not be policing American citizens on American soil.

Instead of making DC more secure, it undermines public safety and endangers our democracy.

It’s DC today, but the same dangerous strategy can be deployed to occupy any community in America.
