Jeffries on Fox News Sunday: "We believe this moment should be used to make dramatic changes to ICE that are bold, transformational, and meaningful ... these are basic, common sense demands."

There are many reasons Trump is desperate to keep his illegal, destructive tariffs but chief among them is w/o tariff revenue Dems can and should demand that we claw back the extra ICE funding and roll back the tax cuts to wealthy people.

With a slowing economy/revenue loss we can't afford either.

Democrat Ana Tiburcio

Map of Pennsylvania State House District 22

🚨SPECIAL ELECTION - PENNSYLVANIA STATE HOUSE DISTRICT 22🚨

Democrat: Ana Tiburcio

Election Date: 🗓️THIS TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24TH🗓️

Area: Allentown

Notes: Blue seat, but Democrats are *thisclose* to losing their PA State House Majority. So we are taking no chances.

The centrist surrender caucus will memory-hole this, but there was a time roughly a year ago when there was a brewing conventional wisdom that Trump’s opponents shouldn’t stand up to him on immigration, specifically.

Trump lost his strongest issue the moment it was elevated to public discourse.

Trump’s Treasured Negotiating Edge Dulled By Tariff Defeat With the stroke of a pen, the Supreme Court wreaked havoc on President Donald Trump’s favorite method of wielding leverage over other countries.

The Supreme Court's landmark ruling striking down the administration’s global tariffs marks a significant blow to a president who relishes exerting unilateral power to achieve his goals.

Navigating Louisiana's Complex Immigration Landscape One legal advocate reflects on how she designed a blueprint for immigration work in the state, despite Trump's aggressive deportation efforts.

Louisiana is often called the “black hole” of immigration detention, where ICE sends people it detains from across the country to languish in abhorrent conditions without access to lawyers, purposefully in remote areas.

The ACLU of Louisiana is fighting to hold ICE accountable.

I still don't understand how this isn't the headline everywhere. If Biden or Obama said the words, "I'm allowed to destroy the country" Fox News would be giving tips on where to buy pitchforks and torches.

Your now-regular reminder that Republicans in Congress are okay with all of this...

Simon Rosenberg:

"[I]t’s become clear, to a majority of the country, that he is a malevolent, corrupt, sundowning rich asshole who couldn’t care less about any of us or the country. He’s in it for him and his buddies and that’s it. He’s a plunderer not a President"

Important read today:

Trump CANNOT legally impose a 15% global tariff because the United States does not meet the clear emergency economic conditions envisioned by Section 122. If Trump tries to invoke it, that would certainly face immediate legal challenges, economic pushback, and potential congressional scrutiny.

What an absolute buffoon

How the Supreme Court Spared America The ruling against Trump’s tariffs is a major victory for the constitutional separation of powers, rule of law, and millions of American consumers and businesses.

Yesterday’s Supreme Court's decision “is a major victory for the constitutional separation of powers, rule of law, and millions of American consumers and businesses harmed by these tariffs,” Ilya Somin, a co-counsel on one of the cases, argues:

Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come.

Despite being a “moderate,” Susan Collins has voted with Trump 96% of the time — and her most recent support has gone toward the voter suppressive SAVE America Act.

She knows what she’s doing, and she’s exactly the type of politician civil rights leaders warned us about, Marc Elias writes.

‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Proud to have my friend and partner-in-accountability @tedlieu.bsky.social in this fight! We’ve stood shoulder to shoulder defending the Constitution and holding bad actors accountable. Now we’re ready to do it for all of California.

ICE locked up a 65 yr old white woman named Karen. It can happen to anybody. It can happen to you.

At the end of the day, when every dollar of the massive slush fund of taxpayer money Republicans appropriated to DHS in 2025 is audited, we will find it to be the largest govt fraud scandal in history. In addition to ICE reforms, it will more than justify this shutdown.

Wow. What an incredible idea. We should write this system down on paper and call it, say, the Constitution

NYC: There are nearly 100 anti-ICE events across the city this weekend. Find one near you below!

Other MAGA metaphysical certainties are that every person Trump fires or is forced to resign is always replaced with someone worse, and his response to every loss in court is to do something worse than the behavior just prohibited by the court.

Statement by Congressman Rob Menendez on ICE's Purchase of Roxbury Warehouse | U.S. House Representative Rob Menendez The Official U.S. Congressional website of Congressman Rob Menendez

ICE buys Roxbury, N.J., warehouse. Exact figures for the sale have not been released.

Dalfen Industrial sold the site to ICE this afternoon. The sale has been confirmed by the city council and mayor.

This is correct. Imputing criminal conduct to them with no evidence to support the claim is the crudest kind of smear, but one that he makes effortlessly.
