The FBI was ordered to investigate Californians exercising their First Amendment rights. Ordered by the Trump White House. And federal resources were diverted from cases involving drug trafficking and violent crime in order to further the administration’s cruel agenda.

FBI whistleblower says White House pushed unconstitutional probe of protesters
The former analyst says supervisors were told not to put things in writing, so many of the directives came in face-to-face meetings.

We stand with local immigrant rights leaders demanding Oscar Bergal's release, a full independent investigation, and immediate release of the body camera footage. And we join them in urging the public not to shop at Target until they stop letting DHS use their parking lot as staging sites for ICE!

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

Not that this is news to anyone, but I watched this debate and well...let's just say that the GOP will likely tell candidates to not debate Dems like they did in 2021 & this debate will likely be why. If they haven't outright done so already considering how Paxton is ducking Talarico.

It’s not “third-country deportation,” it’s an extraordinary rendition, complete with torture and enforced silence by the “host” country’s thugs. And it’s a direct consequence of never imposing punishment on the CIA for doing this during the War on Terror.

A sickening reminder that hateful rhetoric will never be just rhetoric. Words that attack or belittle people over the color of their skin can also incite the most brutal attacks, especially when they are given official sanction. What an absolute, unmitigated travesty.

The U.S. attacked a boat off Venezuela today killing three people. No warning, no evidence, no due process. Rothkopf: this is the fait accompli tactic exported. The court can't stop a strike after it happens, so make it irreversible before review. The tool that built the ballroom is killing at sea.
