The Democrats Finally Grew a Spine By daring Trump and the Republicans to shut down the government, the party is taking a stand six months after it should have.

This shutdown marks the first time that Democrats are not whining about rule-breaking or norms—they’re calling attention to a GOP that is engineering a wealth transfer scam from the poorest to the richest.

It won’t be an easy fight, but it’s a BFD that it’s happening at all. trib.al/JeOptF1

The Federal Election Commission is down to 2 members. So its work is at a standstill The Federal Election Commission, which regulates campaign finance, has lost another member. But the FEC has actually been without a quorum for months, leaving the agency unable to do much of its work.

Hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars have been spent on body cameras, sold as a revolution in transparency and accountability.

Instead, police departments routinely refuse to release footage — even when officers kill.

Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities.

Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement.

It’s illegal and un-American.

The monsters aren’t under the bed.

2 The BPAs were each equipped with body-worn cameras on or about October 4, 2025, but only BPA 3’s camera was activated at the time of the incident

15. According to BPA 1 and BPA 2, moments after exiting the CBP Vehicle, the Martinez Vehicle drove northbound at BPA 1. According to BPA 1 and corroborated by the audio of BPA 3’s body-worn camera, BPA 1 proceeded to fire approximately five shots from his service weapon at the driver of the Martinez Vehicle. According to BPAs 2 and 3, the Martinez Vehicle proceeded to flee northbound on Kedzie Avenue. 2. MARTINEZ and RUIZ Were the Drivers of the Martinez and Ruiz Vehicles 16. According to BPAs 2 and 3 and corroborated by BPA 3’s body-worn camera footage, after the collisions, the Ruiz Vehicle backed up on Kedzie Avenue into a parked car, did a U-turn, and proceeded to park at a gas station approximately half a block southbound from the location of the collisions.

Here's the complaint relating to the alleged ramming, followed by the shots in Chicago earlier.

Just one of three Border Patrol Agents turned their bodycam on, and the BWC only corroborated:
1) That they shot
2) The timing
3) What one of the cars did afterwards

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

American taxpayers are paying people to post Bible verses on a US government account.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Hey television pundits that keep bitching about Democrats that don’t go on right-wing media shows. Do you understand now? Or will you just conveniently ignore it because it doesn’t fit your narrative. Looking at you @lastword.msnbc.com

January 6 was basically a training session for upcoming ICE agents.

Don’t worry, Mitch McConnell, we haven’t forgotten that most of this is your fault.

The image is an X post by user Joshua Reed Eakle from 20 hours ago, stating: "The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for citizens. Few understand this." The post includes a profile picture and a verified badge.

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

Scott Jennings on CNN refuses to say he condemns children in Chicago being zip-tied, aggressively pulled out of their homes away from their families, detained till 3am, & traumatized this way by ICE. He should be ashamed of himself

Let me help you Scott: the answer is YES

They largely want the studios & sports and don’t care about the news org. In fact, they would love it gone. Why? Because rich men, especially tech men, think they deserve no criticism and also need constant fluffing. They value a mirrortocracy over a meritocracy and welcome a mediocrity.

Federal agents shoot woman on Southwest Side, battle protesters for hours The shooting occurred Saturday in Brighton Park when federal patrols were "rammed by 10 cars," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, an account that has yet to be verified...

There is no left wing terrorism organization or machine in America.

They just want to kill Americans.

I can’t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers.

Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.

When "The Sound of Music" is shown, I suspect that as each Trump year passes, fewer Americans are cheering during this scene.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America
