An excellent and important read. Explains the tactics used for coercion typical of many of this administration’s actions.

This incident is spreading through Chicago running circles. A 67 year old man, driving back from a long run with his friends, is pulled from the car and thrown to the ground by ICE (or BP?) agents because he did... something. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWAw...

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

As a US Atty, I prosecuted and oversaw police excessive force cases. We took them seriously because they were serious abuses of power. What we're seeing now is the outbreak of an epidemic & instead of being condemned by fed'l law enforcement leaders, it seems to be tolerated if not encouraged.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Ezra Klein went beyond opposing political violence to extol Charlie Kirk for doing politics "exactly the right way," making up a fictional version of Kirk to praise. That distortion, with its indulgence of bad faith, is a perfect illustration of the larger media failure that helps Trump. My latest

Watch every second of this video: what is happening in USA. Armed ICE agents tried to interrogate kids of color -- all of them U.S. citizens -- who were at baseball practice in NYC. ICE agents then harass coach but he knew his and the kids' constitutional rights. (h/t @jonfavs.bsky.social)

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Trump caved to Mexico and Canada. He got nothing more than what they already agreed to do with Biden. But I am glad the President agrees that we must stop the outflow of American guns to the Mexican cartels. I look forward to working with him on my Disarming Cartels Act.

Here's some general advice to CBS: First, show video of Trump making a promise. *Then* ask his toady to comment on his failure to keep the promise. Sheesh! It's really not that hard...
