β€œWe are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

BREAKING: Stephen Millerβ€”both Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.

Someone should do a FOIA request for the raw footage of the videos they took of that Chicago raid and then edited into a fascist ad for ICE.

Trump declared war on Americans. The playbook says: No funding for fascism. No funding until the Epstein files are out. Spread it out, get Dems pushing it. That's our only chance to defeat the regime. https://americanmanifesto.news/the-shadow-comms-brief

Granted, they've obviously been headed in this direction for a long time, but I think the Republican Party has reached 100% full-on dishonesty.

*Everything* that *any* of them are saying now has zero connection with reality. Not spin, not obfuscation, not even truthy-opathy.

It's All Pure Fiction.

Thanks to the Bourbon Co. Dems for a great time at their event last night. Good to see so many friends and be reminded that we’re not alone in this fight.

I know times feel dark, but building community, having each other’s backs, and staying engaged is how we move things forward. @kydemocrats.org

Hegseth's Comments on the Military Show "He still has a lot to learn," says Amy McGrath
YouTube video by Democratic Majority Action PAC Hegseth's Comments on the Military Show "He still has a lot to learn," says Amy McGrath

Hegseth claimed we need to β€œreturn to the male standard” in combat jobs, but there has never been a separate male and female standard. When women entered combat roles, one standard was set, and we’ve been meeting it ever since. You can either do the job or you can’t. Period.

The military has a sacred bond with the American people. Using our troops on our own streets breaks that trust and it should concern every one of us.

β€œHegseth has a thing against women in the military. He always has, and that’s why he’s pushing this narrative.” @amymcgrath.bsky.social on Defense Secretary Hegseth’s false claim that military standards had been lowered to accommodate minorities and women.

What’s false is Hegseth’s continued narrative that combat standards were somehow lowered for women. They were not. And for the SecDef to lie about that is a slap in the face to all women who have served in combat roles.

Thanks to @TheWeekendMSNBC.bsky.social for having me on this morning.

Our democracy is under siege, and cowards in Washington are bowing to Donald Trump. Kentuckians deserve a leader who’s battle-tested and ready to fight from day one. I’ve done it as a Marine and for Kentucky. I’m ready to complete the mission. Join me.

Kentucky deserves a senator with the decency and courage to stand up and speak out for our state. I won’t sit back and watch what’s happening in this country. That’s why I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

It's not just threats. A judge's house already went up in flames. I'm dreading the moment when a judge actually falls victim to some MAGA psycho.
