It’s weird how the White House can just blame a “staffer” for the racist post as if just any low level flunky can pretend to be the President of the United States at any random time.

Republicans in Congress are shutting down negotiations to rein in ICE's terror.

The American people have had enough. We demand that our policymakers come to actual solutions.

Congress must come to an agreement that puts an end to ICE's violence and abuse of power.

Here's what Dems should do:
1) Double down on the demands.
2) Make clear there will be no additional funding.

If the GOP wants to shut down DHS, that's on them.

Don't surrender to pushback from these goons. Take inspiration from the people of Minneapolis.

“Outrage is the wimpiest register we can use to communicate in contemporary politics. On its own, it is purely reactive. ... It's like saying it hurts after you get punched.”

Instead, @joshtpm.bsky.social argues, we should meet Trump’s nonsense with contempt.

3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

The FBI Fulton County raid came as no surprise.

What was surprising was who led the initiative: U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Thomas Albus.

And there is all the reason to believe the federal prosecutor will use his power to interfere with the upcoming elections.
DOJ’s legal machinery to subvert the 2026 election is already in place
It is one thing to seize old ballots; it is quite another to imagine federal agents seizing ballots from county offices on election night or the day after.

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.

we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.

delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.
