David J. Bier @David_J_Bier NEW data I've received: Just 5% of people detained by ICE since October 1 have had violent criminal convictions, 3/4 had not criminal convictions at all. Most "criminals" had immigration, traffic, and vice offenses. Not the "worst of the worst"... Pie chart graphic with text: Only 5 percent of individual booked into ICE detention had a violent criminal conviction this fiscal year. ICE bookins into custody, FY 2026, Oct 1 - Nov 15, 2025 Pie slices are: HUGE slice: No Convictions: 73% Much smaller slices: Vice 3% Other 4% Violent: 5% Immigration:5% Traffic:6%

And the Split Rock lighthouse beacon is shining again over the November waters of Lake Superior to honor the loss of life on the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Love the cartoon. Added #AltText.

TXHDC Texas House Democrats Deny Quorum For two weeks, while families in the Hill Country mourned the loss of mover 130 Texans in catastrophic flood, Democrats fought to make their relief the legislature's top priority. Instead, Governor Abbott and Republican leadership used the tragedy as political cover. After thousands of Texans testified against this corrupt bargain in hearings across the state, their please were ignored. "Governor Abbott has turned the victims of a tragedy into political hostages in his submission to Donald Trump. We will not allow disaster relief to be held hostage to a Trump gerrymander. As of today, this corrupt special session is over."

A black and white photograph of Pedro Victor García on the left and Trump and Marco Rubio on the right. Text: Marco Rubio's maternal grandfather, Pedro Victor García, was detained and ordered deported in 1962 after reentering the U.S. without a visa. He was paroled, but with no records until 1966, it appears he lived here undocumented until graining legal status under the Cuban Adjustment Act 1966/67. Facts are fun.

So true! Thank you! We also have a tax system set up that lets the rich pay less than their fair share and the Big Ugly Boondoogle Bill will just make it WORSE.

Thank you for speaking up! Minnesota stands with California! With #AltText
CADEM California Democratic Party The California Democratic Party stands in unwavering solidarity with U.S. Senator Alex Padilla who was unjustly assaulted by federal agents for exercising his constitutional oversight duties. Senator Padilla has spent his life fighting for our democracy, for working people, and for the fundamental rights guaranteed to every American. It is appalling un-American that a U.S. Senator was pushed to the ground and placed in handcuffs for doing waht any responsible elected official does - stand up, show and speak out for those they represent. The incident was yet another gross abuse of power by the Trump Administration and its accomplices in the Department of Homeland Security and a dangerous escalation in our political discourse - one that echoes the tactic of authoritarian regimes around the world not the values of a nation built on a foundation of freedom and liberty. In this moment, California Democrats will not be silent. We firmly believes the power of the people is stronger than the people in power. We stand united against those who use fear, force, or federal agents to silence all who exercise the constitutional right to question those in seats of powers. Rusty Hicks, Chair, California Democratic Party

Do not eat the rabbit, no no no. Plant more bunny food. Then find a fleece blanket and have a nap. Happy pride, Maggie the bunny.

Habeas Corpus The legal right to due process was included in the constitution because King George III was disappearing colonialists "beyond seas to be tried for offences" where American courts had no jurisdiction. Sound familiar?

Thank you, Governor Walz. I was glad to see that Minneapolis Mayor Frey remains committed to continuing the much-needed police reform work.

Today, we honor and remember George Floyd. Five years ago, his death marked a turning point in our nation and sparked a global movement. Minnesotans raised their voices, calling for justice and real, meaningful change to prevent a murder like this from ever happening again. In Minnesota, we heeded that call for change. We've made key reforms to policing and public safety, including banning chokeholds and neck restraints, imposing a duty to intercede on officers who witness a colleague using excessive force, and banning warrior-style training. The most important legacy we must carry on is ensuring that race and identify don't determine Minnesotans' safety or ability to thrive. Everyone deserves to be respected and protected by law enforcement. Our work to combat discrimination and ensure the humanity of every person in Minnesota is protected is ongoing. Gwen and I are holding George Floyd's family and friends in our prayers. Minnesota continues to mourn his loss and honor his legacy in hopes that it might make our state better for generations to come. Signed by Governor Tim Walz, Minnesota

Summary of DNC Hearing today to challenge the 3rd Vice Chair ballot which elected Malcolm Kenyatta and David Hogg: It was a very fair hearing where all sides were heard. First Resolution-(Failed) would have kept the original Vice Chair results as is with no changes. Second Resolution-(Passed) Calls for a corrected election. Would require a ballot to elect one male (Hogg ort Kenyatta), and then second ballot to pick someone of any gender. All 5 vice chair finalists would be eligible. It will now go to the full DNC for adoption and ratification. Current Vice Chairs will stay in place until the August meeting.
