Story of Jackson behaving like the ruthless billionaire he is. Does it mean the AJC wants to make the #GApol Governor race real? Or will they run Wendys militia stories daily for the next month?

The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.

A naked, gold-covered Trump statue has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. It’s called “Orange Plague,” also known as “King of Injustice,” and shows him sitting on another man’s shoulders holding an enormous golf club. Covered in reportedly 23-karat gold, of course.

Tim Snyder is correct: If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money and tackle our corrupt system. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

I like this idea. If maga politicians (who were elected to serve their constituents instead of serving big money donors and lobbies) fail to have Town Halls, then the constituents should conduct their own with an empty chair on the stage. First, invite them, and then hold the Town Hall. #townhall
