“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

"Take it or leave it." That's not how you run the government. That's not how you lead a country.

The Democrats have been in the halls of Congress working and waiting for Republicans to show up for 13 days.

All this to prevent the Epstein file release? Or not swear in Grijalva?

#RepublicanShutdown

Can anyone tell me how repressing acknowledgment of the existence that differ from you helps your current situation? Does your paycheck get bigger? Does your truck mileage suddenly improve? Are your kids doing better in school as a result?

Be careful which side of repression you are on.

Republicans expecting mass defections on Epstein vote Democrats pushing the discharge petition predicted that Republicans would rush to support the measure once it hit the floor.

What a week www.politico.com/live-updates...

JFK JR, plane Crashed 1998, would have beaten george w bush and been a liberal lion like his dad.

Rfk junior is work eaten junkie, cod oil and all, looking into the candidate, remembering rfk sr, jfk sr, ted Kennedy other than chappy, were all great leaders, who changed things for the better.

Shout out to all the US Veterans who have honorably served our country in times of war and peace. Thank you for your service. Respect ✊

Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court.

The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used.

The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

The number of debt collection cases in Alaska state courts is soaring, following national trends Consumer debt is at record-high levels, and the number of Americans behind on their credit card payments is also on the rise.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Oh

People should not act surprised, especially the right wing and anyone who voted for Trump.

We warned them. They did not listen. And now they choose to forget.

Don't let them.

Unfortunately, the media has been purchased by the billionaires, for tax breaks from Trump. That’s been the problem since 2016. The mainstream media is not on our side at all. They are forbidden to publish the truth.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

A promised vote on the ACA? See, they can’t include the ACA without having to bring the House back into session - and they’d have to swear in Grijalva. That’s what this is all about. Protecting the Epstein files.

#colsanders to the rescue.

Yes, keep bragging about your new gold palace/fugly curtains while us peasants starve and lose healthcare. Evil.

Donald Trump and @jd-vance-1.bsky.social's refusal to provide SNAP benefits to Americans in need isn't just illegal — it's immoral.

Appeals Court Upholds Shaken Baby Conviction Despite Medical Examiner Recanting Testimony Dissenting from the court’s majority, one judge sounded the alarm about ignoring recanted forensic testimony, saying the medical examiner’s reversal “calls into doubt the foundation of the trial.”

Prosecutors broke with tradition and didn’t fight to uphold the conviction.

In fact, the DA urged the court to overturn it: “Every single medical expert, using current science, confirms that Russell and Kaye Maze are actually innocent."

Any Democrat voting for this should be primaried as quickly as possible because they're stupid, aren't capable of recognizing they're winning, are incapable of representing their constituents, and are cowards not up to this era's challenges.

It’s a well done system, Swiss.
