Important info from @cato.org about how immigrants contribute to our country:

"The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023."

Facts matter.

Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469.

Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by.

Hello?

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Trump and MAGA Republican’s Big, Ugly Bill more than tripled ICE funding while slashing $1 trillion dollars from Medicaid. Now this roving caravan of lawless thugs are terrorizing our cities. Congress needs to #FundHealthcareOverICE and do away with whatever this is. Watch👇👇

The Dems must hold this line, make it policy and run on it:
Everyone involved in the monumental corruption of the Trump Mob's #SackOfAmerica, and those complicit in silence will be brought to the public eye and to justice.
If so, as we approach the Nov Blue Tsunami the rats will begin to jump ship.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.

The people of Minneapolis have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The first time a city's population has ever been nominated.

ICE's budget could fund the ACA (healthcare) extension and expand Medicaid to millions. Instead, it funds home invasions, family separation, and killing protesters. Republicans made this choice for you. Remember in November... #FundHealthcareOverICE

Doesn’t look like ICE is drawing back.

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.

Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

Don’t let this story disappear.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.

That amounts to $456,621 per hour.

But how are you doing?

"Nearby, a six-year-old wondered if the unicorn she saw marching earlier was ok. "

And, of course, connected to billionaire Leon Black, who is still alive, gave Epstein $170 million for "tax and estate planning advice" - as one does, of course - and who partied with Trump in...wait for it...Russia in 1996.

SCOOP: A repurposed Navy contract to funnel tens of billions to ICE for a nationwide "ghost network” of concentration camps—just got a lot bigger.

The power of mocking Trump’s pathetic monsters It's impossible to ignore the administration's blend of violent repression and overwhelming cringe.

They're literally running out of lawyers in a state where the district judges are practically at war with the administration.

NYT headline

Accuse me of catastrophizing, but "‘We want to take over" is about as clear a warning as you will ever get.

Congress appropriated $257 million to renovate the Kennedy Center before Trump shut it down. Follow that money and see where it goes.

Therein lies the problem. ICE is terrorizing Los Angeles, and local police are choosing not to enforce the law banning masked federal agents.

This is how trust collapses.

I remember Bondi during her vetting- she emphatically stated she would run a non-partisan department if sworn in to office as AG. She lied under oath. Why don't we start there? Every person in this regime is a traitor. All deserve to be tried, convicted, and jailed.

You don't have to believe that the fascists are competent enough to suppress voting everywhere in 2026 or 2028. You just have to believe that they can depress minority turnout in 5-10 cities to affect entire Senate races & the Electoral College. 2024 was decided by 120K votes in 3 states, after all.

Press statement From Islip Forward: At approximately 9:30 a.m. this morning, federal agents were documented using infrastructure located on the property of the Central Islip Fire Department Station 2, at 110 Wheeler Road-without prior authorization to be on or use that space. When a volunteer with Islip Forward approached to document the activity, federal agents threatened the volunteer with arrest for alleged trespassing, despite the agents themselves operating in an area where no prior permission had been granted. Immediately following this interaction, the Central Islip Fire Department took swift action to protect its property and the public. Temporary restrictions were implemented, including closing the gate to the area being used and preventing external access. The use of municipal fire department property for federal enforcement activity—without authorization-and the subsequent threat directed at a community volunteer raise serious concerns about transparency, overreach, and respect for local institutions. We are deeply grateful to the volunteer firefighters of the Central Islip Fire Department for their decisive and responsible response.

ICE was stealing equipment from the Islip Long Island fire department and a Islip Forward member documented it. ICE tried to arrest the community member but the firemen said “I don’t think so” www.islipforward.org

This would be akin to President Biden speaking to the FBI agents right before they searched Mar-a-Lago. I'm sure Republicans would have been totally fine with that.
