Just to be clear, Bernie Sanders and Josh Hawley proposed a bill in the Senate a year ago, along with AOC and Luna in the House, to cap interest rates on credit cards at 10%. It is nice that Trump has suddenly decided to get on board with it in an election year.

MINNEAPOLIS, United States -- Paramilitary forces under the command of President Trump brandished weapons and refused members of parliament access to a facility under their oversight. Legal observers say the Federales' campaign of terrorism and murder is part of a broader attack on the rule of law.
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

When Donald Trump said releasing the Epstein files “…would hurt my friends.” He was talking about himself. It would hurt him. He has no friends. He never has. And, he never will.

NEW: Virginia Democrats are signaling a push for a new congressional map that would leave Republicans with just one U.S. House seat — a direct response to GOP-led gerrymanders pushed by Trump ahead of the midterm elections.

ICE agent Jonathan Ross killed Renee Nicole Good, 37, while she was in her car on Jan. 7.

The fatal shooting was at least the 9th time ICE agents have shot into cars since September.

At least 5 people have been killed in Trump's immigration crackdown.

32 others died in ICE custody last year.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

In Iran, there is now a complete internet blackout. Landlines are down. Mobile service is disconnected. Electricity is cut off & there are reports of gunfire in major cities.

90 million people are being cut off from the world.

This is the biggest global story right now.
