‘We’ll need to see a warrant’: the group teaching businesses a vital tool to fight ICE raids Siembra in North Carolina gives owners fourth amendment rights trainings should federal agents show up at their door

The N Carolina immigrant rights group Siembra is teaching business owners their rights if federal agents show up at their door.

While most can name their first and second amendment rights, far fewer are familiar with the fourth, which prohibits unreasonable government searches and seizures.

He is not well.

A gerrymander is not a sure thing…

Ossoff: "She's gonna have to give up her insurance in the middle of chemotherapy while she's fighting breast cancer. What are people supposed to do when they lose health insurance in the middle of a cancer battle? ... this is life or death"

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines.

When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

Hegseth Defense Collapsing as Fresh Leaks on Strikes Grow More Damning

As new info makes Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s illegal killings look even worse, an expert in national security law explains why his case is imploding—and what must happen now to secure accountability.

A press conference screenshot showing Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy speaking at a podium at Reagan National Airport, suggesting airports should have workout areas. RFK Jr. and another woman stand behind him.

We’ve seen enough pull-ups from Hegseth and RFK Jr. Just make the skies safer by hiring more air traffic controllers and hold the damn airlines accountable instead of letting them off the hook.

Waste. Fraud. Abuse.

Wild that the Secretary of Transportation is out here pretending pull-ups are policy while the rest of us are just trying to make sure bridges don’t collapse and planes don’t fall out of the sky.

David Ellison reportedly told Trump he’d make “sweeping changes” to CNN if Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. gets approved.

I’m keeping Minnesota’s Muslim community in my heart after the fire at the Masjid Hazma Mosque and Baitul Hikma Academy.

Grateful to all of the first responders who stepped up and relieved that no one was injured.

Mike Johnson's downward spiral Speaker of the House is a tough job. But he's particularly bad at it.

"The speaker that Johnson most closely resembles these days is John Boehner, who endured 4 tumultuous years leading the chamber before quitting in disgust. Johnson may be holding on to his job only because Republicans don’t think anyone else could succeed at it either." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

The next Democratic administration should expand the court.

There’s no other way to redeem SCOTUS at this point.

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted. Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.

BASH: If ICE says it doesn't arrest US citizens, why do we keep seeing incidents of them aggressively pursuing citizens?

HOMAN: I can't tell you how many times an illegal alien claims to be a US citizen. It happens all the time.

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.

ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.

Why is ICE harassing women?

Trump has issued over 2,000 pardons and commutations this year, letting a string of drug dealers, corrupt politicians, and MAGA-friendly businessmen off the hook in a gross abuse of the Constitution.

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.
