There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Fox goes with real-world math over WH gaslight.

BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.

Trump to Americans right now

One of the key things the Supreme Court is supposed to do on an emergency motion is to balance the hardships to each sides.

Here it is not even close--people starving v. the government not tapping a reserve they are supposed to tap anyway in the event of an emergency

Greg Abbott O @GregAbbott_TX: It is now in our Constitution that only US citizens can vote in Texas elections. Daily Caller @DailyCaller: BREAKING: Voters in Texas have APPROVED a ballot question requiring citizenship to vote THE RESISTANCE Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) © @adamscochran: This was already in the constitution. Thank you for reminding us why Texas is 41st in education.

The fact that this didn’t take Judge Nachmanoff any time at all underscores how serious the government’s failure was. Welcome to the rocket docket.

“For I was hungry and you worked your ass off to make sure I got no food.”

3 panel comic Panel 1: Blue Guy and Pink Guy. Pink Guy: Ai will change EVERYTHING. Just give me a Shitload of money Blue Guy: okey Panel 2: Blue Guy hands over a massive stack of cash and says “How will it change everything?” Panel 3: Pink Guy is running away as fast as he can with the money. He says “It’s a secret”

“How did you receive the foreigner? And did you receive him and welcome him or not?”

Pope Leo XIV challenges us to reflect on the moral cost of policies that target deeply-root immigrants and families.

I’m Jewish. I lived in New York for a decade. I am very, very concerned about antisemitism.

I have no doubt that Zohran Mamdani would fight to protect my life and my rights. I have no doubt the ADL has entirely failed to protect me and my family from fascists.

I know where my allegiance lies.

Mayor-elect Mamdani announces co-chairs of his transition team:

Maria Torres-Springer, Lina Khan, Grace Bonilla and Melanie Hartzog

All women.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

How many kids first experience of the state will be of masked men grabbing people?

The Mamdani Era Begins His opponents tried to smear him for his youth, inexperience, and leftist politics. But New Yorkers didn’t want a hardened political insider to be mayor—they wanted Zohran Mamdani.

In the end, Andrew Cuomo’s long record was a gift to Zohran Mamdani. “What I don’t have in experience, I make up for in integrity—and what you don’t have in integrity, you could never make up for in experience,” Mamdani told Cuomo in a debate.

Mamdani refused to compromise on his values – and was rewarded for it | Moustafa Bayoumi His win is a huge victory for all New Yorkers, but it is also meaningful far beyond the five boroughs of this city

Gov. Beshear: “The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.”

Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.

"The Republican Party has created an entirely avoidable mess for itself. By taking a resolute stand in favor of making healthcare unobtainable for many Americans, and now threatening to starve children to achieve that perverse goal, they have made performative cruelty their political calling card."

Donald Trump Is a Commie Bernie’s democratic socialism is still compatible with liberal democracy. Trump’s national socialism is not. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

"The Sanders/Mamdani style of democratic socialism is, whatever its merits, at least compatible with America’s tradition of liberal democracy. The Trump style of national socialism is not."

Chicago woman dragged out of her car after colliding with ICE demands accountability The arrest of Dayanne Figueroa highlights growing concerns about the use of force against U.S. citizens and due process. She was released after a few hours without charges.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

• "We have no inflation." Inflation is at 3%. • "It's at 2%. It's-- it's the perfect inflation." Inflation is at 3%. • "Right now [grocery prices are] going down." Grocery prices are up 1.4% since Trump came to office. • "A year ago, we were a dead country." Not only did the US have the fastest-growing economy in the G7 in both 2023 and 2024, but the Economist magazine called it "the envy of the world." • "11,888 murderers were let into our country." Not only is this number inaccurate, but many of the non-citizens convicted of homicide either here or abroad came in during Trump's first term. • "Washington, DC, was... almost like a crime capital of the world." In 2023, per PolitiFact, "at least 49 other cities in the world had higher homicide rates. • "[Biden] hardly went anywhere. Guy couldn't leave his bedroom." Not only did Joe Biden visit roughly as many countries in his term of office as Trump did in his first term, but Biden was the first US president to visit an active warzone - Ukraine - not under the control of US forces. • "I made Middle East peace. For 3,000 years, they couldn't do it." There is no peace in Palestine, no peace deal in place, and it isn't a 3,000-year-old conflict. • "Communist, not socialist. Communist. He's far worse than a socialist." Zohran Mamdani is not a communist. • "I can't give them $1.5 trillion so that they can give welfare to people that came into our country illegally." The Trump/GOP claim that Democrats want to give free healthcare to undocumented immigrants has been repeatedly debunked. • "They emptied their mental institutions and their insane asylums-- into the United States of America." Asylum seekers don't come from "insane asylums." Obviously. • "One thing I can tell you, the 2020 election was rigged." It wasn't. The courts agreed. • "And a lotta people say when it's rigged you're allowed to do it again." A lot of people don't say this. The US Constitution doesn't, for sure.

Trump did on 60 Minutes what he does every time. He spews a blizzard of lies, exaggerations and assorted other falsehoods, and if (as usual) the reporter isn’t equipped or doesn’t bother to push back, he keeps going.

Genuinely believe the whole process is that they put a pardon in front of Trump, he asks how much they paid, and he signs if it's a big enough number for his current mood

How to answer a loaded question.

(This is Joe Neguse, Congressman for Colorado's 2nd District.)

Epic.

Los Angeles suffered tremendously because of the wildfires. The president of the United States has wanted to make the immigrants who make the city suffer and declared war on the city. But all throughout it, L.A. makes it work daily. It’s a place where people go to make it. LA deserves this.

Quoting Charlie Kirk is now being considered hate speech.
