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.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

Rep. Adelita Grijalva was pepper-sprayed by ICE agents during a raid last week.

Remember: ICE is getting $170B in new funding from Trump's Big Ugly Bill and lowering its hiring standards.

If Trump's thugs can do this to a member of Congress, they can do it to you.

Oh, look, just like Nixon’s enemies list from his "Political Enemies Project." They're lack of original ideas is astounding. I guess they're coming for all of us now.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

This is the story tonight. Every Dem who was in that room should be telling us what they saw.
Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.

“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.

Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.

Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

Good morning.

Gonna have a pop at multi-millionaire Dicky Tice this morning.

The same Dicky Tice that hates foreigners in our country, hates muslims, is an MP for Boston & Skegness but lives in Dubai under SHARIA LAW!

Having a pop at children wearing ear defenders because he's a class 1 knobhead.

My family doesn’t understand that I cannot stop working so when I visit them it gets extremely tough. I managed to get my podcast/newsletter published but I had to marathon watch all of my hours from Fox from last week over two days. I’m almost finished. Fun times🤣

Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

After the shooting of two national guard soldiers in DC, Trump said, "This heinous assault was an act of evil, an act of hatred, and an act of terror." Given how bad he said it was, and considering trumps past statements, this means Trump is behind the attack. He always blames others for his evil.
