ICE arrested these immigrants in San Francisco and sent them 2,400 miles away—to Hawaii One may be mentally impaired, said a judge who granted him a continuance prior to his arrest.

ICE doesn't even have a detention center in Hawaii. The men have been put in a federal prison there. Very far from home, and presumably their lawyers. Via @missionlocal.org

Opinion | DOGE says it’s saving $100 billion. It’s about to lose a lot more. Cuts to the IRS will backfire by giving tax evaders a free pass.

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..."

"You should be hired on the basis of merit."

For some reason, the camera did not cut to Pete Hegseth, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Kash Patel, or Tulsi Gabbard.

It was a horrifying display of bullying by a megalomaniac and his sycophant.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14?

What about the White House?

A few of us braved the rain this morning to picket Tesla in Cincinnati and oppose Elon Musk and the oligarchy. We got a lot of positive feedback from passersby. No one elected Elon Musk!

This is just what you want from the guy picked to be the No. 1 public health official in the land—claiming that heroin helped him.

Hi Blueskyers. I run the organization @protectdemocracy.org which aims to do just that.

Over the past decade we’ve won countless cases to protect voters and truth, helped pass legislation, and unfortunately predicted much of what’s happened.

Follow and repost so we can keep doing that here.

If Trump wants to deport undocumented migrants, they will still need a hearing before an immigration judge.

The next available final hearing date, based on current backlog of 1,478,623 asylum cases pending, is in 2029—after Trump has left office.

They haven’t though this through. Shocking.
