Video Analysis of ICE Shooting Sheds Light on Contested Moments

I cancelled my NYT subscription when they started kissing the mobster’s ring. But this is a good analysis.

With a name and a skin tone like that, one wrong move and he might wind up renditioned to CECOT for torture.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

Markey: This administration has proved time and time again that it is only interested in vengeance, that it lies and lacks all humanity. Today, six federal prosecutors resigned because the DOJ wants to investigate Renee's widow rather than Renee's killer

Here’s a fun game you can play with your friends. Take something they’ve said about immigrants and replace the word illegals with Jews to find out which side of a holocaust they would’ve been on in 1930s Germany

someone I once knew said we should arrest anyone who chose to decide with the illegals.

These 10 companies stand to rake in $1 billion by 2027 by helping ICE track down and round up immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

Right after RenΓ©e Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long timeβ€”that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

ACA subsidies are expiring. Here’s who the lapse will hit hardest Early retirees, mid-income consumers, small business owners and residents of states won by President Trump are among those who'd be affected most.

Starting today, around 22 million Americans enrolled in Obamacare will see their tax credits run out.

The average recipient will likely see their premiums more than double in 2026.

Certain people β€” including residents of many states that voted for Trump β€” will be more exposed to a subsidy lapse.

To me, the Christmas message is that we should care for the needy and vulnerable. I don't understand people who think it means we should smash the car windows of immigrants, tear-gas neighborhoods and zip-tie children.
May federal agents lose their masks and find their souls.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson is blocking a vote on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, which means the subsidies will lapse. Millions of Americans will pay much higher fees or will drop their health insurance altogether.
Republicans did this while making sure rich people got a tax cut.
