"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.

Even under SCOTUS's dubious reasoning in Trump v. U.S., there is no scenario in which maneuvering billions of dollars to an offshore account to keep it out of reach from Congress and courts is an "official act." This is all criminal and impeachable.

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for β€œillegals trying to vote.”

Qatar gave Trump the $400 million jet. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that they’re β€œholding” $200 million in Venezuelan oil money.

ICE doesn’t de-escalate, it escalates, then runs.

🚨ICE agent pepper-sprays woman after shoving her. Totally unnecessary. Santa Barbara police and paramedics showed up to clean up the mess. ICE already fled the scene.

If the question is "what leverage do Senate Dems have now" then the next logical question is - do they have more or less leverage because you decided to vote with Republicans? And even further - why did you decide to throw away your leverage instead of making these demands yourself?

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE.

When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it.

And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

When was the last time Tim Cook or Apple impressed anyone with anything (I doubt Tim Cook even impresses Trump)?

It's the largest company ever to produce absolutely nothing that's innovative, year after year.

Methinks it’s time for Tim Cook to step down. As for seeing the Melania documentary… I’d rather put a cigarette out in my ass.

Stephen Miller acknowledges a β€œpossible breach of protocol” before Alex Pretti’s shooting.

Come on! That’s not it. The agency is performing exactly as designed.

Miller set a quota for ICE arrests and impossible hiring targets. Kristi Noem set low standards for qualifications to meet the quota.

The breach of protocol was Miller saying anything to the press that isn't a direct quote from Mein Kampf.

Time to get a few new ones. We need to replace all the spineless Dems and add some strong ones. The GOP Senators are corrupt past recovery.

Iran-Contra Redux.

This is what happens when there are zero consequences for criminal behavior. There must be a strong disincentive for criminality if we are to expect politicians to voluntarily police themselves.

There must be severe consequences for J6 and Trump 1-2.

SHAHEEN: It's been reported that the oil sold for $500 million and $300 million went to Venezuelan government. What happened to the other $200 million?

RUBIO: It's still sitting in the account is my understanding

SHAHEEN: The account in Qatar?

RUBIO: Yes

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
