I saw an ICE raid today in Cedar-Riverside. The man they took said repeatedly he was a U.S. Citizen and had ID. They put him in a car they sped off at an unsafe speed. Not that I expected much, but I called 911 and reported their behavior. The dispatcher asked "what I wanted them to do about it."

It seems so painfully clear that Dems could blow this whole thing apart with just a couple weeks of sustained, disciplined messaging sowing distrust and paranoia in WH circles around 'Republicans all talk openly about how they lie and manipulate the dude who they know isn't all there anymore'
Awful: Trump just admitted in a new interview that he knows "very little" about the Honduran ex-president he pardoned. This guy trafficked a gazillion times more drugs into the US than anyone Trump has executed. Wrecks his case for the boat bombings.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Absolutely. And not for nothing, but this is also the dumbest use of a $6.5b donation to the government.
There’s a reason he’s donating this to “Trump accounts” and not, like, NEH or something. The accounts may not be a grift (just bad policy), but the donation is still dirty as hell.

Remember—Billionaire philanthropy is PR
$6.25B is a lot of money. It’s also only 4.1% of the $152B Michael Dell has hoarded. If Dell paid the 37% tax rate on the wealthy he'd pay $56.25B—and still have nearly $100B, more than he'd ever need
