Some ICE detainees are being forced to perform cheap labor ($0.13/hr), in exchange for very brief phone calls & basic necessities.

Meanwhile...The owners of for-profit detention centers used by ICE are raking in BILLIONS, funneling money back to MAGA-aligned PACS to feed the cycle of corruption.

Trump regulatory czar Jeffrey Clark should be disbarred for role in 2020 election plot, disciplinary board rules The ruling is based on Clark’s effort to pressure DOJ leaders to issue a false statement that there was evidence of significant election fraud.

ICE GOONS have been unleashing tactical beatdowns on unarmed protesters in LA.

So true, he's just so sick:

Lawrence County school district will no longer excuse students with a doctor’s note • Tennessee Lookout The Lawrence County Board of Education in June adopted a policy to reject doctors’ notes as a valid excuse for a child missing school.

I'm all for making sure kids are in school, but this isn't the answer. The Board of Ed members should have to follow this rule. Heart attack or stroke, suck it up. Otherwise lose pay.

Today in history, 1910: The two-day Slocum massacre begins, with whites rioting and murdering African Americans in an unincorporated community near Palestine, Texas. The official death toll was seven, but it is estimated that as many as 100 African Americans were murdered. /1

Congressional republicans tweet bible verses on Sundays while simultaneously supporting and protecting a President who trafficked and raped little girls.

Republicans in the Texas legislature are working to redistrict the state before the 2026 midterm elections. Although state legislatures normally redraw district lines every ten years after the census required by the Constitution, President Donald J. Trump has asked Texas Republicans to redistrict now, mid-decade, in order to cut up five districts that tend to vote Democratic and create districts Republicans will almost certainly win. Five additional seats will help the Republicans hold control of the House of Representatives despite their growing unpopularity. Trump is urging other Republican-dominated state legislatures—those in Florida, Indiana, Missouri, New Hampshire, and Ohio, for example—to do the same thing. “We’re going to get another three or four or five, in addition,” Trump said to reporters about House seats. “Texas would be the biggest one, and that’ll be five.”

From Heather Cox Richardson: “President Donald J. Trump has asked Texas Republicans to redistrict now… and create districts Republicans will almost certainly win. Five additional seats will help the Republicans hold control of the House of Representatives despite their growing unpopularity.”

Have you ever been to a church service where politics was part of the sermon?

Americans are still waiting on Trump's pledge of IVF treatment for all On the campaign trail, Donald Trump said the U.S. would be "paying for" IVF.

"I don't think it can cross Donald Trump's mind that there are neutral arbiters who are objective and not politicized. But this is the weakness of authoritarian or pseudo-authoritarian regimes. They create an atmosphere in which it's not possible to be honest with the executive."

Don't forget firing the woman running the Bureau of Labor Statistics and launching a vengeful investigation to punish jack Smith for investigating him.

Democrats hit this one perfectly.

🔥 BREAKING: Ninth Circuit SLAMS Trump-era ICE raids in LA 🔥

No more racist “roving” raids. No more targeting by race, accent, job, or zip code.
This court ruling torches fear-based policing and shields immigrant communities.

The Constitution still matters—and so do the people.
We fight. We win.
