US citizen shot and killed by federal immigration agent last year, new records show Shooting death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, in Texas was not publicly disclosed by Department of Homeland Security

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.

It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.

What else is the regime hiding from us?

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, appears to have deleted his tweet after these Democrats responded

Wow.

Absolutely. Or DCA…

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring

The Kennedy Center isn’t closing for “renovations.” It’s closing because audiences fled, artists withdrew, and its reputation collapsed under the pressures forced upon it. Cultural trust doesn’t evaporate by accident. It happens when power treats the arts as a tool, not a public good.

As Trump’s immigration polling numbers tanked, Fox News used old polls to claim his mass deportation plan is popular

Fox News is citing outdated polls to argue that Americans are in broad support of the Trump administration’s mass deportation policies, even though Trump’s immigration approval numbers are rapidly tanking.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.

What lying fucks they all are.

Horrific. Bovino is a stone cold liar.

Pretti wasn’t attacking officers, he had just helped a lady they assaulted and had gotten pepper sprayed.

Video Analysis of ICE Shooting Sheds Light on Contested Moments

Important work here from the NYT. Ross wasn’t run over. He dropped his cell phone, which he had shifted to his left hand to draw his weapon. And then he shot and killed a person with the gun in his right hand.

Alsobrooks has definitely been a disappointment. I’ve called her office twice about other topics and left detailed messages with my contact info - have never gotten a reply.

@repsuhas.bsky.social
is right to ring the alarm…

Congress has to make AI a priority. Legislators let social media go unregulated and we all see the fallout. It’s the Wild West. We cannot let the same thing happen with AI.

If Congress sleeps on this, we’re in trouble.

I happened to be in the audience for the Colbert taping last night where @warren.senate.gov called out David Ellison *by name* and I'm honestly shocked it wasn't edited out. We love to see it.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Paxlovid from Pfizer costs $15 to make and now retails for $1500.

Insane

It’s funny to think that the masked ICE Agents terrorizing communities are the same folks that spent two years saying they couldn’t breathe with a mask on.

Those numbers for the economy, immigration and crime—geez! Guess the media needs to do an explainer on those categories for the GOP base. Now that the base (maybe) knows being anti-ACA was a scam, will they ever realize their party is scamming them about the economy, immigration and crime too?

This really captures the nexus of cruelty and corruption at the core of MAGA:
