When an executive agency uses an “emergency” designation to steer public money to political allies, it signals that public resources are being absorbed into a loyalty network. This is exactly the self-dealing our assessment warned about. www.propublica.org/article/kris...

After an agent hit the child in the face with a ball, the youth was driven away from the scene by Border Patrol. The child was later reunited with its mother in the afternoon. The full story: lataco.com/toddler-deta... By Aisha Wallace-Palomares

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.
We’re back at the Broadview Processing Center protesting ICE this morning. The good news? They tore down the unlawful fence we demanded come down. The bad news? We’re still lacking accountability, transparency, and our First Amendment rights. Join us today at 1930 Beach Street. See you soon.

genuinely wild the number of quote tweets that see this as an insult toward mamdani rather than as praise for his discipline and skill at translating personal charisma into political appeal
Zohran Mamdani is a trained performer who has an extremely disciplined and laser-focused ability to recite on-message talking points in response to any question, and yet voters overwhelming praise him as being especially "authentic" compared to other politicians. There's a lesson here!

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.
Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

Shorter Mike Johnson: Beating up a woman isn’t “really serious.”
Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations? JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

We covered this on today's @dailybeanspod.com. Extremely dangerous and these ICE agents should be charged with felonies.
PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police. Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

Black people in Chicago had their apartment building raided in the middle of the night, were detained for hours, and had their Fourth Amendment rights violated during an ICE operation that had nothing to do with them. Nah, they are not thrilled.
Stephen Miller: "The Black people in Chicago are thrilled that we're getting the illegal aliens out of their communities who are stealing their housing, jobs, and resources."
