Fire Kristi Noem.
Fire Stephen Miller.
Fire Tom Homan.

Prosecute every last one of Trump's thugs who are murdering Americans and terrorizing our communities.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.

Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

Bernie Sanders just dropped a 60-second truth bomb on Al, and everyone needs to hear it.

β€œThey’ve got money for ICE and golden ballrooms but not for hungry families” is so easy it’s almost funny

This is how you respond to the government's fascist demands.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacyβ€”it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

A true scandal. One of the biggest free speech violations of our lifetimes and yet the people who screamed about free speech on campus for the past decade were either responsible for the violation (Trump, GOP) or ran cover for it and enabled it (Bari Weiss, Fox, etc).

I have in general become way less tolerant of β€˜crunchy’ bullshit since ascension of people like RFK jr. to actual power. Sorry but the obnoxious Reddit science and logic guys were right, you should be scorned for believing objectively wrong things about consequential issues.

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

I tried to simplify it to my kid like this: you buy something at the store for $50. Then Trump says that store stole $50 from you so he's going to tax the store $25. Store now charges $75.

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity.

Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

1/ So everyone remembers this line of demeaning horse plop from Texas Rep. Ima Dingus, right? It was yesterday. Like many other Republicans right now, he's basically pulling the racist, Reagan-era "welfare queens" nonsense and giving it another run.

So I looked at SNAP data for his district.

Wild abdication of journalistic responsibility to publish this story without mentioning at all, much less at the top where it should be, that just about everything Trump and Musk are doing to quote-unquote "disrupt the federal government" is manifestly illegal

Trump is letting the richest man in the world wreak havoc on our government. It's unconstitutional and it's dangerous. Democrats must fight back. And that starts by voting no on his nominees. I urge my colleagues to join me. We cannot confirm any more of Trump's chaos cabinet.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

Yes, Pete Rose bet on baseball and lied about it for decades. But today is not the time to focus on that. Today is the time to focus on the fact that when he was 34 and married with two kids he committed statutory rape with one girl and allegedly many others and then lied about *that*.
