Appreciate this coverage but it is hard to explain to people not in the Chicago area that THESE ARE NOT PROTESTS.

This is people coming out of their homes, doing anything in their power to try to stop their neighbors from being kidnapped.

It is coming for your city next, please be prepared.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

Remember, this evening is a PERFECT opportunity to demonstrate how Communism works.

Just incredibly, unnecessarily cruel. And I’d be shocked if there wasn’t wanton corruption going on here, too.

As I've said many times, you can't build the mass deportation apparatus without first building the police state apparatus.

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo

“I’m an American citizen so leave me alone”

“Alright, we just got to verify that”

For calling J6 “a mob of rioters”???

“The two prosecutors, Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White, were locked out of their government devices and informed Wednesday morning they will be placed on leave, just hours after they filed a sentencing memorandum in the case of Taylor Taranto, the sources said.”

Would love to see this same group get behind bar disciplinary complaints against the involved prosecutors.

More than 100 former top Justice Dept officials, including dozens of former prosecutors, file court brief opposing James Comey's prosecution:

"not the judgment of an impartial prosecutor, but rather an expression of retributive animus by the President"

Trying to think if there’s anything this administration could do that publications like TFP wouldn’t treat this way.

Once you’re creating Overton space for extrajudicial executions, I’m not sure there’s much left.

Conservative individualism in a nutshell: the same people who said we need mass deportation so we can take care of “our own” are cheering on the suspension of SNAP because now they don’t want other people to receive “handouts.” They proudly hate other people. It’s a murderous, anti-society ideology.

This is a masterclass in repeating carefully workshopped robotic talking points that miss the forest for the trees and are irrelevant to the question at hand: Trump chose to build a ballroom instead of funding programs that would feed those kids.

We’re executing people with impunity. Why are so many of us OK with this? | Luis F. Carrasco In clear violation of the law, the Trump administration has killed at least 42 people across 10 reported strikes on boats that were allegedly carrying drugs.

Important piece.

Comcast will help pay for Trump's ballroom Neither Comcast nor the White House said how much the company will contribute to the estimated $300 million cost of the project that will replace the East Wing.

This deserves more airtime. Especially in Philly. Especially given all of the tax breaks we give Comcast. Yet, they chose to fund this over so many underfunded institutions in dire need…

But to be clear the three legal sources quoted, @jcschwartzprof.bsky.social, Alex Reinert, and Anya Bidwell are the best of the best in this area. They are rightfully concerned about limits on accountability for fed misconduct—especially as compared to 1983 litigation against state/local officers.

Yes, that is exactly right. The majority rule in the circuits is that the discretionary functions exception does not immunize unconstitutional conduct (including arrests without probable cause). I likewise thought the article overstated that risk.

It seems the claims were filed before Jan 2025 so I’d like to know why the previous DOJ did not deny them.

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

Good: Jamie Raskin tells me he's formally demanding any/all internal communications between WH and DOJ on Trump's $230 million payoff.

More Dems should talk this way about Trump's criming. He's turning the presidency into a massive Bribe Delivery System.

So, yes, it’s difficult to win, but PLEASE don’t let that stop you from trying.

Despite the difficulty, people SHOULD bring these claims. There are very good lawyers who are experts in this practice. There are opportunities for success and perhaps most importantly, the chance for DISCOVERY.

Unlike Trump, Most Who Seek Money for Official Misconduct Face Long Odds

This article does a nice job explaining how difficult it is to obtain financial accountability for federal government misconduct (if you are not the sitting president making fabricated allegations of wrongdoing), BUT the underlying message is wrong…

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases

I've been litigating Federal Tort Claims Act cases for about 20 years and feel like I have at least a halfway decent handle on most of the issues that come up. But, now, my brain is broken.

The Trump Doctrine: If a supposed “narco terrorist” survives our attempt to kill him, we send him home and let him go free.

Kind of makes it look like they didn’t have sufficient proof to present in court.

An image of the Trump-Vance presidency smashing a wrecking ball into the White House to build a monument to Dear Leader—during a government shutdown—captures 2025 pretty well

I glanced down at the message.

Trump has launched seven deadly strikes in the Caribbean Sea.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.
