Congresswoman Uses Simple Math To Show How Broken ICE Is

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

Austin is ringing the alarm against surveillance technology -- and taking a stand by proposing new limitations to facial recognition and artificial intelligence technology.

Unfortunately, knowing and not reporting is extremely common human behavior, which is why the “mandatory reporter” concept was codified into law. If he had been a doctor, youth soccer coach, teacher, etc. then you’d have a case for prison time.

What can you do to make the midterms successful?

- Sign up to be a poll worker. It's a long day, but you do get paid. 🤷‍♂️

- Support progressives in the primaries. Those are the candidates who will spark turnout in the general, and who will vote to impeach Trump!

- Volunteer to get out the vote.

it's weird to see people complain about Bad Bunny's performance being in Spanish when there have been entire operas in Italian, German and French performed in the US and the top song of the last two years, K-Pop Demon Hunters' "Golden" has lyrics in Korean

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

An underrated good the next Democratic administration could do with virtually zero actual political blowback from voters would be to come in with anti-trust laws like a wrecking ball and break up media and tech companies. It would fuck up The Other Side, too.

Super Bowl commercials MVP has to be Jesus Gets Us. Too bad the hypocrites will never pay attention to them.

This is action EVERY city in the country can take. If your hotels cooperate with ICE, goodbye liquor revenue.

Last week, I told Secretary Rubio that he was part of the most corrupt Admin in American history.

They are selling American security, prosperity, & innovation to enrich the Trump family & his billionaire buddies.

They must be held accountable for this blatant grift.

Cue a massive class action from US People affected by the social security data & other data theft against Musk (DOGE), the entire Trump regime & data fed into Palantir (Thiel, Karp) that will bankrupt them & send them to jail.

At last US people may get a check from this regime of malfeasance

Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.

I mean, the only way it would be conclusive is if he yelled "I pooped my pants!" There definitely is a noise, and that lady in green is really struggling not to smell....something.

DOJ has broken the social contract under which they deserved a degree of deference.

Serve the public and enforce the law, then courts, lawyers, and the people grant the presumption DOJ is trying to do that.

The Trump DOJ, in words and actions, rejects that in favor of lies and aiding lawbreaking.

The common 🧵 in every single election, from Susan Crawford in Wisconsin to Zohran Mamdani in NYC to Taylor Rehmet in Texas, is that a clear majority of voters don't like evil, hate, incompetence, & far right authoritarianism. The policy details are election-specific, but that's the hummable tune.

Huge victory.

They told Taylor Rehmet this seat was unwinnable.
They told us not to waste resources.

Now the GOP lost a Texas State Senate race that hadn’t gone blue since the 90s.

This is what early support + candidates with lived experience looks like.

Run. Everywhere.

Not surprised that crime rates are likely higher inside ICE and CBP than in among undocumented immigrants. (Also—felony rates are higher in the Oval Office than in the general population!)

Abolish ICE, reform CBP, make it easier to legally immigrate, love your neighbors.

Will @cnn.com @cbsnews.com @wsj.com or @washingtonpost.com raise alarms of Heritage Foundation, GOP, and Trump plan to destroy free and fair elections in the U.S.? Perhaps @theguardian.com and @nytimes.com will step up?

Someone sent a masked death squad to take Georgia. Those are Not police, Not FBI, Not US Marshals

Trump Is Still Obsessed with Stealing Elections The FBI’s seizure of Georgia ballots is as much about future elections as past ones.

The harping about 2020 was never about the past. It was and is about the future: using a lie about a "stolen election" to actually steal elections.

"A.i." trash. Do not support; do not watch.

This is, quite frankly, complete bullshit. I’ve received more criticism, harassment, and — at one point — calls for my death in the past six months of criticizing this administration than I did in an entire FBI career of investigations, operations, and arrests. And I never wore a goddamn mask.

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.
