This post sent from what I imagine was 8:30am PT (assuming Kalinowski is on the West Coast) is yet another bright red warning flag at the convergence of several areas where red flags are already littering the landscape: the Trump administration, war, domestic surveillance, AI …

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting...today's Trump/MAGA Republican Party. Lincoln, Eisenhower, Ford, HW Bush, etc. rolling around in their graves. bluevirginia.us/2026/03/satu...

Subpoena all of it. And him, too. The FBI found this witness credible enough to interview her four times. Enough with this cover up.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

To End Abuses, Eliminate ICE and Give the Money to Police Abolishing ICE would not end all deportations. But it would make them much more dependent on state and local cooperation, which would be a particular boon to “sanctuary” jurisdictions like Boston.

If Virginia redistricts, would at least be even in terms of gerrymandering battle

GOP can’t get enough seats out of TX and FL if there is even modest shift blue with Latinos

A more extreme shift would actually give Dems a net gain of seats

Masked ICE agents had elementary school kids running for their lives in South Jersey. Now they're afraid to go outside or go to school.

Listen to these kids and tell me with a straight face that we can "reform" ICE. You can't reform that.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

Every day it becomes clearer that capitulation (Columbia, Perkins Coie, etc) was the wrong strategy

This is just unconscionable man

House and Senate Dems, get this through your thick skulls: you are not to vote for any further funding of ICE. You are to take all steps possible to abolish ICE. This is not a request. We, the people you serve, are giving you a direct order.

Now DO IT!

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.
