This is terrifying!
ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)
This is Trump’s America.

Have they given names to the 'criminals'? I haven't seen it. Because if they can't name who they killed then their intelligence/accusations are bullshit. Who are these 'smugglers'?
New in PN: The Trump Murder Policy
"Trump has claimed Venezuelan boats are being attacked because they’re smuggling drugs, but his evidence doesn’t amount to much more than 'trust me, bro.'"

Any reporter who takes this pledge becomes nothing more than a PR piece for the DOD and should be ingnored.
NEW: The Pentagon told journalists it will require them to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey. @washingtonpost.com
Pentagon demands journalists pledge to not obtain unauthorized material
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is imposing strict new rules that would severely limit the ability of journalists to report on the Pentagon.

Hitchcock's North by Northwest (1959) rocks and Cary Grant is so good in it that together they made an inflection point in Hollywood cinema with a reverberating legacy almost as profound and sexy as Elvis gyrating on Sullivan.

Democrats should loudly let it be known right now that anyone who is carrying out corrupt orders—or illegal ones— on Trump's behalf will not be able to hide behind bureaucratic obscurity later. They will be held accountable—politically, or if needed, legally as well.

“We HAD to hurry up and run the story, otherwise it would have gone to the guy who brags about how easy we are to manipulate” should, for most people, be the moment they realize they’ve been conned.

Thinking about the tut-tutting Democratic politicians who spent their two years in power warning that Supreme Court expansion was too radical an idea to even think about taking seriously. You absolute fucking rubes. You gigantic, credulous losers. I hope you are ashamed of yourselves today.

Another shameful betrayal.
An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
