powerful detailed account of ICE captivity "To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Their goal is to give the base the appearance of resistance so the base’s expectations are satisfied and they can continue to hold their seats without actually producing any results.

Walz: If trade is so bad with Canada. He was the guy who signed the deal. I think this is how he ran business.The one thing is his claim that he's the business president. He is the worst possible business executive that I have ever witnessed

In interviews with NBC News, many federal workers shared stories of overwhelming stress, personal crises, rapid weight loss, panic attacks and more amid job cuts and a barrage of messages that federal workers have no value. nbcnews.to/41xjeSl

“The quiet but seismic recalibration dismantles Biden-era mandates and signals a return to more aggressive counterterrorism policies Trump first instituted in his first term.” Some of us tried to warn you that he wasn’t ‘antiwar’ or ‘isolationist’. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-e...

Trump eases rules on military raids and airstrikes, expanding range of who can be targeted
The increase in the range of people who can be targeted by the U.S. military dismantles Biden-era mandates that included more safeguards.

Trump doesn't have a cabinet. He has a cartel.
Picture of Trump's first cabinet meeting. Red arrows point to nominees with labels reading:

Former President of the America First Policy Institute whose board is filled with oil and gas magnates
Former fossil fuel exec with $44M in equity
Leases land in North Dakota to oil and gas companies for drilling
Former CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald which acquired a 45.3% stake in Connacher Oil and Gas in 2018
Lobbied for pipeline giant, enterprise product partners
Investor in an ethanol plant with ties to controversial South Dakota carbon pipeline project

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

Trump has never met a dictator that he didn't admire. that's how you know he's self-consciously lying about Zelenskyy being a dictator.

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports. Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1915...

Trump-Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Unnerving Turn With Vile Leaked Memo
Can Trump and his top advisers really just act with total impunity? Or is there, just maybe, a price to be paid for starving poor people and un-indicting a corrupt mayor?

I’m sure most Senators understand the danger in confirming RFK Jr. But here's the thing: conscience is a muscle. Courage is a muscle. The less you use them, the more they fade away. If you do not draw a line somewhere, you will cross every line you could ever imagine.
