Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?

A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

Just a reminder, this is what Pete Hegseth's mother wrote to him:

"You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego."

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.

All on the taxpayer’s dime.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.”

The East Wing is gone.

Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.

All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

The fact that this GOP pollster has Spanberger +10, @SenatorHashmi +7, & Miyares/Jones basically tied, is VERY striking, especially given that their sample skews HEAVILY Republican (Trump at 46%-52% is waaay higher than what nonpartisan polls are showing) bluevirginia.us/2025/10/sund...

This iconic photo…

On the night he made history, Obama reached for his mother-in-law’s hand.

Michelle later wrote in Becoming that her mom felt his loneliness that night. His father gone since he was 2, his mother and grandmother both passed. Marian said she could feel the “gravity of the passage”

Just arrived on the scene at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland. Here less than 10 minutes when agents charged out of the facility and used a pale yellow gas that caused tears and coughing in crowd members. Also shot munitions at those retreating.
