WATCH: A group of ICE goons beat a man they were detaining after they'd already wrestled him to the floor in Naples, Florida on Wednesday night. Bystanders began to yell that they were filing when the ICE goons punched the man repeatedly.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)

A GOP state Senate candidate in Minnesota (Austin Peterson) was asked during a debate what he's done to ensure clean water in his community, and his answer was bizarre: "When we put gasoline in our boats, we're putting that gasoline in on the shore and not in the lake.

This was the 28th time #SCOTUS has granted emergency relief to the Trump administration since 1/20/25. That matches the total number of grants during the entirety of the first Trump administration. And both of those totals dwarf the *four* grants of relief (two each) during the Bush & Obama admins.
