CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

If Congress does nothing, Virginians' marketplace premiums could go up by $1,000 or more per month next year. I'm ready to negotiate a path forward to prevent that and reopen the government.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

ICE agents assault amNewYork reporter at Federal Plaza immigration court; another journalist seriously injured after shove | amNewYork ICE agents assaulted amNewYork's own Dean Moses, and allegedly attacked another journalist, on Tuesday morning as they were documenting the ongoing arrests of

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Kristi Noem couldnโ€™t get to Twitter fast enough to use the Dallas ICE shooting for political points. But local news now says it was detainees who were shot โ€” not ICE agents. She played politics, and three human beings are dead. We need an investigation into how this happened now!

MSNBC: ex-FBI Dir. James Comey expected to be charged with a crime by Trump administration, per reporting from @DilanianMSNBC and @CarolLeonnig.

This is a huge deal. Trump demanded DOJ charge Comey with something to get revenge. Now they are.

The rule of law is dead.

Stephen Colbert: โ€œTonight weโ€™re all Jimmy Kimmelโ€ฆ. With an autocrat, you canโ€™t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.โ€

Letโ€™s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trumpโ€™s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesnโ€™t like.

talking w a friend re Charlie Kirk and the outpouring of grief. I said everyone is entitled to voice their feelings & being killed (esp in that way) is awful. I wish that the school shooting in Denver was treated the same way. She didnโ€™t know thereโ€™d been a school shooting. Media not covering.

At least 2 students shot at high school in Colorado, authorities say At least two students have been shot at Evergreen High School in Colorado, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

This afternoon, in addition to Charlie Kirk, there was a school shooting. Bullets don't know and don't care if you are a Republican or Democrat. It is time for Republicans and Democrats to find a way to work together to reduce gun violence.

Maroon graphic reading "Today's Supreme Court order puts people at grave risk, allowing federal agents in Southern California to target individuals because of their race, how they speak, the jobs they work, or just being at a bus stop or the car wash when ICE agents decide to raid a place. For anyone perceived as Latino by an ICE agent, this means living in a fearful โ€˜papers pleaseโ€™ regime, with risks of violent ICE arrests and detention." This quote is attributed to Cecillia Wang, the National Legal Director of the ACLU.

Despite todayโ€™s outrageous ruling, we all have the right to go about our daily lives free from racial profiling by the federal government.

We will never stop fighting for our civil liberties and our immigrant communities.

The injunction is silent as to the use
of force. And it is not necessary for the injunction to address
that use-of-force question because the Fourth Amendmentโ€™s
reasonableness standard continues to govern the officersโ€™
use of force and to prohibit excessive force.
To the extent that excessive force has been used, the
Fourth Amendment prohibits such action, and remedies
should be available in federal court. I agree with the
dissent on that point. But to reiterate, this injunction
against brief stops for questioning does not address the useof-force issue.

It's not the most important part of the issue but Kavanaugh saying "well they should just sue if they're the victims of excessive force from ICE" when he himself has previously voted to bar lawsuits against federal officers for violations of the 4th Amendment in immigration cases takes chutzpah.
