Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves. If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such. 🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

If you are interested in the story of a group of soldiers fighting their way across the Pacific during WWII you can hear me discuss my book MacArthur’s Bloody Butchers on the Heroes Behind Headlines podcast. #booksky podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Men are pretending to be ICE to abduct women as if this wasn't the most predictable thing to come out of allowing masked goons with no ID to snatch people off the streets.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

If Trump's "big, beautiful" reconciliation bill goes through, 13.7 million people will lose their health insurance & even more will become underinsured. Make no mistake, thousands of low-income & working class Americans will die unnecessarily if it passes. We must not allow it.

It’s V-E Day (Victory in Europe Day). The end of World War II in Europe. The U.S. and its European Allies defeated fascism in Germany and Italy. Don’t surrender to fascism here at home 80 years later.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

A screenshot of a tweet by the official White House account.

Text: “Fixed it for you, @NYTimes.
Oh, and by the way, @ChrisVanHollen - he's NOT coming back.”

There is also a screenshot of the front page of the NyT with a large headline and photo about Van Hollen meeting with Abrego Garcia. They have edited the headline with red ink handwriting to say “ Senator meets with deported ms-13 illegal alien in El Salvador who’s never coming back.”

That the United States is not only sanctioning such shocking inhumanity, but is also *paying* for it, is so despicable. And that silence you hear is not one conservative "Christian" speaking out against it.

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

So by paying our taxes, we pay for a Central American dictator who runs the 116th-richest nation in the world to build five more supermax concentration camps slated to be filled with our countrymen and wholly innocent legal permanent residents of the United States? Is that right?
