This is terrifying and makes me so sick. As little as we were doing, it was everything to all these families now missing a family member. Fuck this administration.

It is not a coincidence that most of the videos you see of ICE agents using excessive force seem to feature unarmed women half their size. 🙃

The right says the country needs to “turn down the temperature.” Then they call us slurs, suggest banning us from owning guns, and smear us after shootings. Is it any wonder trans women in places like Seattle are being hunted in the street?

A government that is closed for business is not available for a floor vote to release documents relating to the sexual abuse of children involving the nation's powerful people. These shitheels will close the doors on the United States and go home rather than spill out the dirt.

Stephen Colbert doesn’t need CBS anyway. Wherever he ends up, people are going to watch him even harder now. All CBS did was solidify the fact that they’ll be know until the end of time as just another spineless corporation that couldn’t do the right thing.

Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

When will we say "enough is enough"? The US already has more people in prison than any other country on earth. This includes China which has over 4 times as many people as the US. Trump's insane bill could triple this number. We have become the evil empire. www.statista.com/statistics/2...

The United States has the highest number of prisoners worldwide. China followed behind.

How Trump's big beautiful bill aims to 'supercharge' immigration enforcement
The bill includes a major federal investment for President Trump's mass deportation plans, while also limiting eligibility for some safety net programs based on immigration status.

A U.S. citizen who was arrested for filming an ICE raid at Home Depot is suing the federal government for $1 million— and I hope he gets every penny. THIS‼️ When being transported, Garcia heard agents boasting about how many ‘bodies’ they had gotten that day and saw them celebrate with high fives.

It’s a failure of journalism to do shit like this. Donald Trump has said that something will happen “within two weeks” at least 5,000 times in the past decade with easily over 4,900 of those “deadlines” passing with no action.

I notice people calling what we’re seeing these last couple of days “riots.” I was here during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That’s not what this is. Local police can handle this, but ICE needs to back off—especially with these amateur hires who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing.

🧵1/ Donald Trump is sending National Guard troops into California—over the objection of the governor—to crack down on immigration protests. It’s a deliberate misuse of military power. And it demands public scrutiny. 👇

The Attorney General is so unserious. If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this. Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

We're losing billions of dollars in lost tax revenue from deportations. We're losing billions of dollars in trade due to tariffs. But somehow, the economy is supposed to automagically improve.
