Reporting live from the immigrant balcony of American politics. Here for the chaos, the contradictions, and the comedy of it all. Think Statler & Waldorf, but with a visa.

People of New Orleans! Do you see ICE agents in action. Report it on Waze as "Icy Conditions." Keep people in the loop.

Oh look, the flag’s on the ground, guess it finally caught up to the vibe of Trump’s presidency. So much for β€œAmerica First”; even the flag said, β€œNo thanks, I’ve been through enough.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

They preach β€œChristian values,” yet appeal against letting the deaf understand their words. Love your neighbor, unless it requires an interpreter, apparently.

LA: β€œThey took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.”

What are we doing?

Everyone’s talking about Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New Jersey β€” but the real sleeper story is Mississippi. Democrats flipped multiple legislative seats and broke the GOP supermajority in the State Senate. In deep-red Mississippi! That’s news too β€” and it says something big is shifting.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

Someone asked me what was up with the White House this week. Took me a second to realize they had no clue about the demolition. I just stood there. Wild how some folks have zero idea what’s going on right now. So frustrating.

I just want to point out that I have NEVER called Stephen Miller "Satan's Butt Plug."

What I ACTUALLY said was that Stephen Miller's HEAD was Satan's Butt Plug.

And I wish people would stop twisting my words.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

PAYCHECK $0.00

A single dad holding back tears on national TV because his federal paycheck can’t cover food and rent, while Trump’s building a $350 million ballroom at the White House.
