More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

wow -- Fox Business is now treating Trump's completely made up economic boasts as though they are factual. Note the citation here -- "The White House" Reminder that the entire US economy is about $32t. If we really had $21t flowing in, you'd notice it Fox thinks their viewers are really dumb

I am not a political strategist and maybe it is the winning move to focus on gas and grocery prices, but it is wild to me that I am not seeing general election commercials that mention the president's fascist paramilitary force that invaded US cities and kidnapped and killed people.

I think we all need to internalize this analysis. Polling indicates that the difference between a blue wave and a blue tsunami may be determined by turnout of voters under 30. It is absolutely critical that we get younger Gen Z folks out to the polls. We have 1 month to make that happen.

Secretary Mullin: "How many did the governor of New Jersey say voted in their elections illegally, wasn't it over 30,000?" The real number? "Fewer than 400."
A "serious software error" at New Jersey's department of motor vehicles led to around 6,600 non-US citizens being registered to vote, with "fewer than 400" of them wrongly casting ballots, the state's governor said.

"I am appalled by the reckless failures that allowed this to happen," Governor Mikie Sherrill said in a statement on Tuesday.
