The head of the Department of Homeland Security literally just declared war on the second largest city of the United States and the state with the largest economy. Then a US senator was dragged out, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed.

Don't believe this is a crisis?
It is not the job of the federal government to "liberate" a city and state from their elected leaders. Where are all the states'-rights conservatives? And there is no need to liberate anything. The city & state aren't under siege. This is dangerous & authoritarian red-baiting & disgraceful.
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Everyone should say it:

The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism.

Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy.

But that's not what's interesting about Miller.

It's not brains. It's bile.

I am curious to know how much the taxpayers are paying for all the homeland security commercials with the puppy killer? It's on all the time. Seems expensive. I thought we were being frugal.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

PBS is asking viewers like you to "contact Congress now" and express support for public media. NPR is warning listeners that "public media is under threat" and directing people to donate $$$.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

One of the most alarming aspects of the Signal Scandal is the fact that Trump regime officials used the Signal app to hide what was happening from the government itself.

Signal messages National Security Adviser Michael Waltz sent to the group chat were set to disappear after one week.

That’s…

This segment from @maryannefranks.bsky.social is an incredibly tight argument that captures the breadth of the Trump assault on free speech perfectly and in less than a minute.

Spread it far and wide.
WOW. Watch a constitutional law expert completely DEBUNK Republicans’ censorship crusade, while articulating exactly how Donald Trump is threatening freedom of speech. 🔥

Someone should ask all those conservatives who claim undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes why the IRS would have any “tax data” on undocumented immigrants if they don’t pay taxes.
