NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:
ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.
Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

I love the very high salience topic the strategist pick in this moment is so obviously something that makes people furious, rage, and want to take action... like healthcare subsidies.
it’s fascinating. majorities of americans oppose the military occupation of cities. a substantial number of those are fucking furious about it, but rather than lean into this anger and attack trump’s perception of strength, these “strategists” want democrats to avoid the confrontation entirely.
There it is folks. The brilliant Dem strategy, according to the genius pundits with the ear of Dem leadership, is to let Trump keep doing everything he's doing but only if we can also help Republicans avoid paying a political price for hurting people long enough to hold the House and Senate in 2026

Delivery drivers? That's the big bad they're focusing on?? That's who's a danger to our society? Fucking delivery drivers???
ICE agents are joining D.C. police officers on moped traffic stops to determine the immigration status of delivery drivers, and detain and deport them if they are in the U.S. illegally, according to three police officers.
ICE is joining D.C. police patrols. Moped drivers are an early target.
As use of the scooters by immigrant delivery drivers exploded, D.C. police pushed stricter enforcement of the mopeds. Now ICE is joining police on patrols.

SCOOP — Members of DC National Guard are preparing to carry M17 pistols, multiple sources confirm to me.
This follows earlier reports that the guard reversed course and would soon be arming members in DC. Now we know they’re making sure they meet requirements if/when the order to arm them comes.
