BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

From Target to Walmart, retailers are fighting two battles at once: a financial battle to keep costs low in the face of new tariffs, and a political one to avoid the president's wrath.

I always thought that habitual offender laws and three strikes laws emerged in the 1990s as part of the tough-on-crime era. But then I was looking through old state codes and I saw a three strikes law from 1923. Then I found dozens from around this time, and wondered (naively) what was going on.

Target’s stock plummeted by ~ $27.27 per share by the end of February, erasing about $12.4 billion in market value.
The drop came on Feb. 28, the designated economic blackout day, and coincided with mounting backlash over the retailer’s decision to abandon its DEI commitments.

Four Black and Brown farmers sued the U.S. government for breaking their promise to provide debt relief. Two years ago, a judge dismissed their case.
Now, they are hoping a federal appeals court reverses course, deciding that the lower court erred in its decision.

I second this- “the selfishness is breathtaking.”
A woman on a podcast the other day admitted measles is dangerous, but because she felt pReSsUrEd to vaccinate her kids chose not to. The selfishness is breathtaking.

All. Of. This. Team fight stretches across ALL ideological aspects of the party. Thank you Anna!
The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

If the president wants to spark a debate about firing federal employees who don’t work enough, is there room for a conversation about his own schedule?

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
