Trump’s L.A. Marines Zip-Tie Veteran in First Ever Detention Marcos Leao was on his way to the VA when he was detained by Marines in Los Angeles.

Having been deployed to Los Angeles by President Donald Trump in order to quell protests against ICE, U.S. Marines detained their first civilian on Friday: an Army veteran on his way to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

β€œIt Blows My Mind That There’s No Opposition”: When ICE Allies Run Unchallenged - Bolts In a populous city in southeast Virginia, a Republican sheriff who calls himself β€œDetain ’Em Dave” faces a race to the right against a GOP challenger who wants more immigration enforcement. No Democra...

Want to stop ICE collaboration in Virginia? Get on the ballot!

Across VA, sheriffs working with ICE are running with no Democratic or independent opposition. There's still time β€” but not much β€” to challenge them.

Musk's Twitter is now running paid advertising calling for the extrajudicial execution of protesters in Los Angeles. In most countries around the world, this is a criminal act.

A million years ago, this was a national scandal. Today, it is just an every day occurrence that we all tacitly accept.

Sooooooo.

Donald Trump gave Peter Thiel and Palantir a massive contract for mass surveillance of all of us with our data that Elon Musk stole with DOGE?

And all those β€œbig brother” screeching MAGA folks are rolling over and taking it?

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Right now, members of the military can't fix their OWN weapons because giant defense contractors won't let them.

Imagine you're up against an enemy, your equipment breaks, and there's nothing you can do about it. Terrifying.

Senator Sheehy and I are teaming up to stop this.

Crockett: It is time for Republicans to start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity, and whether or not he is equipped to serve mentally. We know when it comes down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve, but this is just absolutely deplorable.

Have you guys noticed that Trump still hasn’t even mentioned the storms in Kentucky that killed at least 30 people? Republicans are pretty quiet about the lack of response too.

Outrage under Biden, silence now that he’s president. That’s how you know he never really cared.

What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants β€œdo not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.
