The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

Bob Inglis saw what was animating GOP elites & voters over a decade and a half ago, as he lost his primary by over 30 points to Trey Gowdy www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

I sat down, and they said on the back of your Social Security card, there’s a number. That number indicates the bank that bought you when you were born based on a projection of your life’s earnings, and you are collateral. We are all collateral for the banks. I have this look like, “What the heck are you talking about?” I’m trying to hide that look and look clueless. I figured clueless was better than argumentative. So they said, “You don’t know this?! You are a member of Congress, and you don’t know this?!” And I said, “Please forgive me. I’m just ignorant of these things.” And then of course, it turned into something about the Federal Reserve and the Bilderbergers and all that stuff. And now you have the feeling of anti-Semitism here coming in, mixing in. Wow.

this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

One reason people would be surprised to hear that Trump has left Iran’s “military alone” is that earlier this month Trump said he had “completely destroyed Iran’s army,” and that “every single ship they had is resting underwater at the bottom of the sea.”

US President Donald Trump commented briefly on Washington’s role in the US-Israeli war on Iran while signing a proclamation on children’s physical fitness at the Oval Office.
“We beat them very badly, now they’re reduced to little boats with machine guns in front of them,” the president said of Iran, repeating early claims about the destruction of its navy.”
“Every single ship they had is resting underwater at the bottom of the sea,” he said.
