More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. Theyโ€™ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally โ€” almost certainly incomplete โ€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Bombing Iran is a great way to distract from how your administration is bombing elsewhere.

It is a law as old as the hills:
Permit agents of the state to use violence against civilians to "maintain public order", and they will use it to advance private and particular interests.

Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.

Jerome Adams-the move to drop CDCโ€™s COVID vaccine rec for pregnant moms ignores the data.  Kids <6 months have Covid hospitalization rates similar to 65-74 year olds.  Maternal vaccination is their only protection.

What are they thinking?  COVID in pregnancy leads to bad outcomes.  Not getting COVID vaccine during pregnancy leaves babies < 6 months vulnerable to COVID hospitalization and death.  Babies under 6 months have the 2nd highest COVID hospitalization rate after 75+!  Outrageous and anti-science!

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvadorโ€™s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US governmentโ€™s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Expect your insurance rates to go up even more. Because if insurers don't have access to good disaster data, they're going to play it safe. And playing it safe means charging their policyholders more.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us.

It doesnโ€™t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin.

You must understand what is truly at stake here.
