“When food prices go up because farm workers go missing, that’s the ICE Tax. When construction grinds to a halt because no one is left to build homes, that’s the ICE Tax. When our elders can’t get the care they deserve because their caretakers and nurses are gone, that’s the ICE Tax.” #EndtheICETax

For those not following, there’s a city in Russia occupied Ukraine near the frontline cut off from everywhere by mines and torn up roads, the people who haven’t been able to evacuate have only food they can grow themselves or have been rationing for a year, and Russia does not care.

it I had to cite a key moment from Trump's speech, it would be this one. it is a threat not just to the Iranian government but to the Iranian people, and in that sense it contravenes both the international laws prohibiting war and the international humanitarian law that protects civilians

From 2021 to 2025, Stephen Miller was making $567K/year as head of his America First "think tank." He owns $100K-$250K in Palantir stock alone. His estimated net worth: ~$2 million. The immigrants he's deporting to third-party countries to be tortured and disappeared don't get an attorney at all.

👀From TNR: Harris will head to Michigan next week to campaign with Abdul El-Sayed. What does this tell us? El-Sayed needs help with the Black vote. In the primary, El-Sayed rarely cracked 30 percent against Haley Stevens in central Detroit precincts. He will need big numbers there in November
