too happy for ICE

Exonerations Grind to a Halt Under Chicago’s New Prosecutor - Bolts Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke has weakened her office’s already broken system for freeing the innocent, even as allegations of coercion mount against a former Chicago detective.

A group of Chicago cops have been accused of bullying witnesses into falsely implicating suspects, & threatening to separate people from children if they didn’t provide favorable testimony.

But prosecutors are failing to take a meaningful look back at people convicted bc of their testimonies:

Face the Nation anchor checks Mike Johnson’s shutdown spin in real time #TrumpShutdown

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE] killed an unarmed person just a couple of weeks ago in Franklin Park...They killed somebody...They are just putting out their propaganda and then we've gotta later determine what actually happened."

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities.

Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement.

It’s illegal and un-American.

Trump plan would limit disability benefits for older Americans Trump administration officials are considering eliminating age as a factor in deciding whether someone is capable of working.

Exclusive: The Trump administration is preparing a plan that will make it harder for older Americans to qualify for Social Security disability payments, part of an overhaul that could result in hundreds of thousands of people losing benefits.

Epstein Survivors Will Flood Capitol to Force Files Release They will appear alongside the congresspeople supporting the release, including Marjorie Taylor Greene.

It is going to be fun to watch the House of Cards crumble.

The House isn't in session because they are afraid of the Epstein files and what will happen to the budget when there is a negotiation between the GOP and Dems ... Johnson knows his days as Speaker are numbered.

Are they intentionally trying to cause head injuries because a lot of the videos I've watched it seems to be the intent

Dellinger Exit Deepens OSC Politicization as Workers Lose Ally The credibility of an independent US whistleblower agency protecting federal workers who report fraud and misconduct is in question following President Donald Trump‘s unusual dismissal of its leader, ...

“Dellinger’s unprecedented Feb. 7 termination without explanation was part of the president’s broader efforts to seize control of independent federal agencies. Dellinger’s five-year term was set to expire in 2029, which would have made him head of the OSC through the entirety of Trump’s 2nd term”

We cannot run a US science system in this way.

Science depends on federal funding given to the most meritorious applicants as judged by peers and experts. That system depends on rules. Predictability is required.

An arbitrary and capricious, lawless government means medical cures will collapse.

Fifth, the optics are brutal.

Refusing a vote looks like you’re running from accountability.

It feeds narratives of incompetence, of evasiveness, of fear, not strength.

Also, people are talking about filing Hatch Act violation complaints.

They should complain.

But the complaints go to the Office of Special Counsel. Trump lawlessly removed the OSC head, and the DC Circuit lawlessly allowed that firing to stand. So the administration has blocked enforcement.

This was the Project 2025 PLAN.

They schemed ( @whitehouse.senate.gov !!) to allow themselves to violate the Hatch Act. They spent years preparing this plan — whose center is fig-leaf corrupt legal arguments to give their rightwing judges cover for supporting Trump.

There are videos:

Gavin Newsom: “He’s trying to rig the election. Period, full stop. In plain sight. Wake up everybody. He is wrecking this democracy. This is about authoritarianism. He doesn’t believe in the rule of law. He belives in the Rule of Don.”

If Congress doesn’t act quickly to permanently extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, health insurance premiums will more than DOUBLE for 22 million people.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

That means the #1 policy position of Progressives is: RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES AND HOLD RICH MEN ACCOUNTABLE FOR SEX CRIMES

Tweet from the VP: Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt. My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.
