So, if multiple agents tackle a person to the ground, beat him, and then shoot him repeatedly, they cannot later say it was ok cause they later found he was armed - which is neither a crime nor one that carries the penalty of immediate execution. There's no Nobel prize for killing civilians.

Gonna need more than strong words from Democrats in Congress. Where is the check and balance? Are we to just hope beyond hope midterms will be free or fair? What's the point of the Constitution if no one enforces it?

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

What authority does ICE have to arrest or detain citizens who witnessed a homicide?

Per this report ICE has detained several witnesses

COLD BLOODED MURDER: Here is a frame by frame account of a sadistic ICE Nazi who was looking for an excuse to murder Renee Nicole Good. Good was a legal observer who had been monitoring the Nazis in Minneapolis. 😳👇

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

17% at 20. 🏥 ER visits ↓ 45%, 43%, 39%. 💀 Hospitalization or death ↓ 57%, 50%, 34%. Protection fades but stays strongest where it matters most—keeping people out of the hospital. Safety? Solid. A Danish study of 1.5M found no rise in adverse events. Bottom line: Boosters save

Holy fucknuts. I'm wrapping up the final states for my annual rate change project, and check out Molina Healthcare of Mississippi. 👀 They were already asking for a 39% avg increase. They were just approved for...nearly 60%.

Today's decision greenlights the worst conduct of the Los Angeles raids; masked officers rolling up at workplace sand grabbing everyone Latino and demanding their papers, people being seized at random bus stops, and a full "papers, please" society being put into place.

The rescission bill has passed the Senate. Once it passes the House, as expected, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's budget will be zeroed out for the first time since 1967, back when TV stations still broadcast in black and white.

Even if you assume the legitimacy of ICE operations, the idea that a fucking truck-mounted machine gun is necessary to carry them out is insane. This is about intimidation. This is them letting us know that the streets of the United States have been militarized.

Jeffries: "You got some people in the town who go to church and pray on Sunday, and then they come to Congress and prey on the American people. I'm not down with that kind of faith. That's not the faith that comes out of the Gospel."

Hakeem Jeffries is still speaking but eventually Republicans are going to pass their megabill. And it hasn't been discussed much, but that is going to force $500 billion in cuts to Medicare. Not just Medicaid. Medicare. Here's why: prospect.org/politics/202...

prospect.orgRepublicans Are Cutting Medicare. Not Only Medicaid, Medicare.Passage of the Big Beautiful Bill will force mandatory sequestration that will mean half a trillion dollars in Medicare cuts.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Millions of Americans march against authoritarianism in hundreds of cities and towns across the country--and the @nytimes.com does not consider it front page news. Just an incredible abdication of responsibility in his historically important moment!

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible
