Infighting at DHS Is Complicating Trump’s Deportation Push White House pressure to speed up the pace of deportations has led to internal discord in the Department of Homeland Security over tactics, people familiar with the matter said.

"CBP have been forced to later release many people they have taken in, finding out they are US citizens or have legal protection from deportation. Noem said recently no citizens had been arrested, but at least one citizen has sued the admin for arresting him twice..."

"These breaks come in addition to the roughly $4 trillion package of tax cuts that President Trump signed into law in July..."

This Is Not Okay.

San Diego showed up in a big way to say No Kings. #NoKings

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals. Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.

Amid shutdown, Trump administration guts department overseeing special education Multiple sources tell NPR that as part of the Trump administration's latest reduction-in-force, the U.S. Department of Education has gutted the office that handles special education.

Trump is stooping so low that he’s gutting the federal Office of Special Education.

Attacking students with disabilities is wrong. Every child in America deserves a fair shot at success.

People think politics is corrupt… all of it. And to fix it, we need to rebuild trust.

That’s why I’m running on:

- Banning stock trading by members of Congress
- Overturning Citizens United
- And not taking a dime of corporate PAC $$

Robert Reich No One Is Safe From Trump's Authoritarianism

If we don’t speak up for the communities that Trump is terrorizing right now, we will be next.

His authoritarianism will come for all of us in the end. https://youtu.be/tkaBlgXR8tY?si=bJcUxXZWMrae4kwx

It is extraordinary and heart-rending to see hostages returned to their families in Israel after their two-year ordeal in captivity. It is all so long overdue, and the world prays for sustained peace-building and continued healing in the region.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

CEOs were paid 281x as much as a typical worker in 2024.

The Trump-Republican big ugly bill not only cut taxes for CEOs, it also included a tax break that allows corporations to write off the cost of private jets faster.

Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

There are a few of us "waiting for your host to join" right now for this hearing...

Hi @muellershewrote.com and @klasfeldreports.com and @annabower.bsky.social

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Republicans like to claim they aren't actually cutting Medicaid.

Which is an easily disproven lie.

Donald Trump is weaponizing his shutdown to illegally fire thousands of federal workers. It’s authoritarian, it’s unlawful, and we won’t let it stand. Proud to join @oversightdemocrats.house.gov in launching investigations across every Cabinet agency.

Trump says the US is in "armed conflict" with drug cartels.

Meanwhile, his DOJ is disbanding a task force that took on cartels.

Trump doesn't care about stopping drug trafficking — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

This is a power grab.

The House has chosen not to work and is withholding the swearing-in of newly elected Democrat Adelita Grijalva. She still hasn’t been seated, and it definitely feels intentional since her signature would provide the last vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

“F—k them kids!” That’s what federal agents said about the half-naked children zip-tied together & dragged into the streets of Chicago in the dead of night Tuesday morning during one of Convicted Felon Trump’s raids.

Americans MUST speak up now to save this country.

If the ongoing dysfunction in D.C. has taught us anything it’s that the Republican Party can’t even govern itself, much less the country.

But the chaos isn't happening randomly.

It's part of a manufactured plot to sew cynicism and get you to check out. Don't fall for it.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.

Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.

Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.

But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.

The legacy of the Roberts court.

The military has a sacred bond with the American people. Using our troops on our own streets breaks that trust and it should concern every one of us.

Speaker Johnson just cancelled votes next week. This shutdown belongs to him, Trump, and Republicans. They aren’t showing up to do their jobs while people and families around the country are suffering. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Remember when Trump denied knowing about Project 2025 and many pundits and politicians gave him a pass?

Now he’s openly embracing it.

Will the Supreme Court revisit its ruling on same-sex marriage? In 2015, shortly after the Supreme Court recognized a constitutional right to same-sex marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges, a local county clerk from Kentucky made national headlines when she refused […]

Justice Alito swears he isn’t trying to overturn marriage equality, while the Supreme Court just so happens to be looking at a case that could do exactly that. Kind of like how Trump totally had no clue about Project 2025, right? 🙄

What about eggs?
