I’m a Congressional Candidate. I Was Assaulted by ICE. An interview with Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old Democratic House candidate in Illinois, who was violently thrown to the ground twice at a peaceful protest in Illinois on Friday morning.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Opinion | We Ran the C.D.C.: Kennedy Is Endangering Every American’s Health

We Ran the C.D.C.: Kennedy Is Endangering Every American’s Health www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
When I look at a photo of Kennedy, I feel sick. When I hear him speak I feel like I'm hard of hearing. He sounds like he choking on a grilled dog. Not the hot dog variety. I mean a grilled dog.

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:

•admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
•abolish ICE
•grant citizenship to any immigrant
•disband the 5th Circuit
•expand the Supreme Court

Seriously: Why the hell not?

LaMonica McIver and the "lock her up" president The charges against the New Jersey congresswoman are unprecedented in modern US history.

The law is clear, whether you like it or not: Members of Congress have the right to conduct oversight of ICE facilities.

No law gives Trump the power to target his chosen political enemies, like @replamonica.bsky.social, simply for doing their jobs and their duties.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch.

Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

All we've learnt with the Maxwell interview is that the FBI has been compromised as well.
I was first under the impression that Trump's lawyer Blanche was alone but with revelation that FBI agents also were complicit with bribery and cover up of sex trafficking.
You're fckd America.

QAnon account on TS w/ 80k followers did this poll. Maxwell is about to be pardoned giving up ZERO names. This ain’t 5D chess; it’s a pedophile implosion.

Trump’s War on Big Law Means It’s Harder to Challenge the Administration Some of America’s largest law firms are refusing to take pro bono and paid legal work from groups that seek to hold the government to account on issues like environmental protection, LGBTQ+ rights and...

Trump’s chilling effect on Big Law firms taking on pro bono work has “been a nightmare,” said the president of a small nonprofit that investigates civil rights violations.

“People don’t want to stand up, and because of that, people are suffering.”

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded.

HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.

Am I the only one confused why they didn't take this stand in the UK?
