What's the deal with that scary-looking green gas ICE is using in Minneapolis? There are toxic ingredients in all of this stuff, but looks may be deceiving.

Immigration officers in Minneapolis are now using a weapon that’s unfamiliar to many protesters: grenades that spew a noxious green gas.

These grenades contain worrisome chemicals.

We are calling our senators right now and demanding that they vote no on the omnibus with DHS funding

We are explicitly mentioning ICE’s murder in cold blood of a man on the streets of Minneapolis this morning

Senate switchboard: (202) 224-3121. Call and leave a message. Then call again on Monday and talk to someone directly.

One of six ICE agents reaches for his side arm as they are wrestling a single person to the ground, perhaps he meant to grab a taser but he just shoots a restrained man point blank 5-6 times.

If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground.

At least three weeks

Why are you not LEADING your caucus on this?? Why did you not ride the eight senators who defected from the cause? Why aren’t you DOING YOUR JOB?

You are an embarrassment. You clearly don’t care about your constituents.

Opinion: Zohran Mamdani, socialist menace? Nearly a century ago, another socialist was elected NYC mayor. He did a pretty good job.

Michael King (@mhking) And guess what, you can’t even call the White House Comment Line to bitch about it!

Manchurian Agent Orange is tearing down a historic building at the heart of Washington, and there isn't a damn thing anybody can do about it.

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

First of all, Broadview is a village that sits WEST of Chicago. You have to cross TWO OTHER SUBURBS before you hit the city limits.

MIKE JOHNSON: We have to ensure that the rule of law applies to everyone

TAPPER: Does the rule of law apply to people who stormed the Capitol on January 6?

JOHNSON: Apparently there were 274 FBI agents in the crowd

TAPPER: They were sent there to do crowd control. It wasn't a false flag operation

Jen and I are keeping Grand Blanc in our hearts today. Churches must always be places of safety and strength β€” an attack harming one community of faith is an attack on us all. California stands with Michigan and the Latter-day Saints community.

He wants to dictate what the press can say.
What a university can teach.
Whom a company can employ.
And to whom the law shall apply.

He who wants all this is not a president,
But strives to be a dictator.
And all who succumb are not citizens,
But subjects.

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

So many cowards and cynics on display right now. When the pendulum does swing back--and it will--don't forget where these sad and pathetic people stood in the hour of democracy's greatest need.

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

You know, that thought did occur to me. And if I were one to subscribe to conspiracies, that might even seem plausible.

I agree with you, completely. And now, with all that being said, can we get back to releasing the Epstein files?
