Confirmed: ICE Is Arresting American Citizens—and Lying About It A government that flouts the Fourth Amendment and then lies about it to courts and the people has crossed a moral and legal frontier.

They’re not redistricting — they’re preparing the battlefield. If Trump gets 5 extra seats in Congress, he’ll have the votes to declare emergency rule in any city that dares to dissent. #Prop50VoteYes

Judge tells faux-tough-guy Border Patrol chief not to tear-gas trick-or-treaters | Opinion Full of faux bravado, Trump's Border Patrol turned a children's Halloween parade in Chicago into chaos, tossing tear gas canisters without warning.

The Trump administration is gleefully engaging in acts of cruelty against immigrants, U.S. citizens and entire communities, and they’re doing it because, at the risk of sounding too academic, they’re weak and they suck. Clowns like Greg Bovino aren’t fooling anyone.

Amazing video. And since the 60s and 70s, nobody - and I mean nobody - has done more impactful protest songs than Public Enemy. Nobody.

Opinion | ICE lowered its standards and is still struggling to hire officers DHS is spending millions of dollars on an aggressive television ad campaign targeting local police officers — but it's not getting nearly enough applicants.

Back in July, I wrote a piece for @msnbc.com predicting that ICE would really struggle to ramp up staffing.

Today, I have a piece in @msnbc.com pointing out that ICE is in fact really struggling to staff up, and struggling amidst a growing morale problem.

(Tho they got Dean Cain, so props to that)

TERRIFYING, but countries are realizing they don’t need Trump, nor the US. China found other soybean sources. Canada has had enough. Trump’s legacy is alienation and humiliation. Horrifying stuff.

So should we all be grateful that King Trump didnt destroy the entire WH and replace it with a smaller version Trump Tower?
