If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

Leaked footage from inside an ICE detention facility near Houston. No beds, no bathrooms, hundreds of men, women, and children in one combined cell/room. They are kept in freezing conditions.

An idea- Let's require all Congress to annually provide a constituent family (average income/size) a detailed complete budget for their family needs using their actual income and expenses. Wealthy billionaires don't know decisions the families THEY REPRESENT are making. Force them to see reality.

The people arresting these hardworking men have never known real β€œlabor” like these innocents being detained. Just because you were born on one side of a border does not make you right. CBP/ICE are perpetrators of oppression, abuse, and crimes against humanity.

Trump pardons the husband of a Republican congressional ally

Trump has legalized crime if you’re a prominent Republican or married to one.

One problem seems to me that the GOP reps have fantastic healthcare compliments of taxpayers and likely never see the bills like we get, both for coverage/deductible and medicines. They aren't living normal lives. They are so far from our reality.

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

Another disturbing video out of IL, reported by Block Club Chicago: agents/thugs are seen detaining a man, pressing him to the ground as he gasps, β€œI can’t breathe.” A crowd quickly forms, begging them to stop.

We are outraged over the use of excessive force in immigration & federal operations.🀬

This is complete fabrication. What a vulgar embarrassment for our country.
I hope we get some loud response from our Native American leadership.

If you think your electricity bill is high now, just wait and see how DC Republicans' new budget law will make it worse. All while killing energy jobs. Crazy.

There have been 500 reports of abuse inside Trump's immigrant internment camps since his inauguration.

Among them? Neglect of children "as young as 2," suicides, head injuries, and sexual assaults.

According to reports, medication and medical care are often withheld.

McMaster’s decision to pull SC National Guard troops away from our state and send them to D.C. is reckless, dangerous, and wrong.

We demand our Guard remain where they are needed most: here at home."

The company running license plate tracking cameras across Colorado has insisted that immigration agents don't have direct access. Flock now says they were wrong. CBP has access. (Using license plate info for immigration enforcement is prohibited by Colorado law) #copolitics

Looks like I.C.E. is in D.C. for more than just bringing down crime rates.

Does this look like the worst of the worst?

As someone who is in contact with dozens of different non-citizens every day, I can anecdotally confirm that all of the documented people I know are living with some degree of anxiety and all of the undocumented (& their families) are living in some degree of terror. Please support where you can

If you work at the Washington Post and are looking to move to a pro-democracy outlet that will never bow down to Trump, Democracy Docket is hiring!

CNN is reporting the FEMA response was delayed 3 days because of Noem’s cost controls, and FEMA officials were β€œtaken aback” by how limited the agency’s response was.

This man was detained by ICE while attending a doctor’s appointment in Ontario, CA.

We tell immigrants to know their rights and to ask officers for ID. He did it to no avail.

Masked men with no credible ID are kidnapping people in this country.

Shame on this criminal administration.

Lisa Murkowski has sold out on Alaskans , she voted to advance the bill, so you can count on her voting yes in the final vote. She's sold you out, she is not representing Alaska.
