"Meanwhile, emotions ran high as a growing crowd of neighbors gathered to watch. Some people started shouting at ICE agents as they attempted to leave, surrounding and hitting their vehicles. Agents used flashbangs at one point to try to disperse the crowd."

The Solicitor General of the Dept. of Labor is responsible for enforcing labor laws.
Who is Trump’s pick for the position?
The author of Project 2025’s labor chapter — which called for gutting labor laws, limiting OT pay, and weakening unions.
The “pro-worker” president...
"A baby was also with the two women, and it was unclear what happened to it as both women were arrested."
"She told MassLive that she, along with a crowd of other people, asked ICE to show a warrant for the arrest. She said the agents replied, “We don’t have to show you anything.”
MURRAY: It was due last week. By law.
PATEL: I understand.
MURRAY: You're not gonna follow the law? ... And you have no timeline?
PATEL: No
MURRAY: Hmm. We're not having a budget hearing without a budget request. So where is it?
Last week, WaPo reported that 17 of 18 intelligence agencies said that Tren de Aragua had no substantive tie to Venezuela.
This effectively says one of two claims on which Trump based his Alien Enemies Act invocation is false. Now, Tulsi says down is up.
We will not enter the USA until Trump/Vance and his criminal cabinet & government appointees are gone forever. I’m sorry not to see my many friends and former College mates but know they will understand. ❤️ Canada.
A Humpback whale swallowed a 24 yr old kayaker off the Strait of Magellen in Chile…then spit him out!
A father and son were in the Patagonia region when a whale gulped down the young man, then released him! The son said he thought he was going to die, but then his life vest pulled him up.

JD Vance is graceless, reckless and pointless
The vice president’s arrogant and counterproductive rant in Munich was a lesson in hypocrisy

Trump border czar Tom Homan on Eric Adams: “If he doesn’t come through, I’ll be back in New York City. And we won’t be sitting on a couch. I’ll be in his office, up his butt, saying where the hell is the agreement we came to.” Sure sounds like a quid pro quo.
Now that we're staring down the barrel of Project 2025, I guess it's a good time to re-up this essay I wrote a few months ago exploring its plans for an authoritarian administrative state www.bostonreview.net/articles/ins...
Trump megadonor Steve Wynn has filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to overturn the landmark 1964 decision in New York Times v. Sullivan, which protects the media's ability to aggressively cover public officials. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...
Jared is developing the “Riviera” of the Middle East with Trump taking his piece of the action. Meanwhile, Israelis who have only called the area home since the land was gifted to them at the end of the WW get to kick out Arabs who have lived there for hundreds of years.
Con artist Sen. Ron Johnson submitted a list of “Doctors for Robert F. Kennedy” into the Congressional Record. But some have lost their medical licenses and many others are not (and never were) doctors.

The only reason ICE would be at schools is to take innocent children into custody in order to lure their parents. Family separation 2.0.
🚨 Los Angeles school police says it will not comply with ICE.
“Kennedy has also baselessly suggested that human-made chemicals in water systems could turn children gay or trans. He has long peddled AIDS denialism conspiracy theories, alleging that HIV does not cause AIDS…”

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
it's really not hard to google.
"The total number of repatriations over the Biden administration so far stands at approximately 4.7 million, much higher than both Trump and Barack Obama’s presidencies"

BRENNAN: You campaigned on lowering prices. Which executive order lowers prices?
VANCE: We have done a lot.
BRENNAN: So grocery prices aren't going to come down?
VANCE: No Margaret, prices are gonna come down. But it's gonna take a little bit of time.
I know a lot of people are exhausted. And many have vowed to check out, tune out, etc.
But that's what they want--a public too exhausted to be outraged and utterly anesthetized to what is happening.
Even if you are taking a break from media, please watch this.

It remains a very sad time in American. I’m heartbroken for those immigrants who had been accepted into the USA who have now had to cancel their flights. I’m sad for those who are scared and afraid of what is to come. I’m sad for Americans who will be hurt by this revenge filled man baby.
The Executive Orders rolling out today were part of Project 2025, the part that was never made public, overseen by Russ Vought.

I love this so much!
At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.
Let’s never forget, no one named Trump attended President Biden’s inauguration. Mrs Trump never invited Mrs Biden to the WH. Trump stole classified documents, treasures from Ambassador residences, and fired all WH staff before he locked the doors and left Washington.
52% of Americans voted for someone other than Trump. He did not win in a landslide. It’s time America recognizes the popular vote and not just the vote of 7 states. As well, citizens in the Virgin Islands and Washington deserve a vote.
After grilling Hegseth on his history of financial mismanagement of the non-profit that Hegseth was heading up, Sen. Blumenthal then basically tells Hegseth:
You’re qualified to be the spokesperson, but you’re not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense.
Hegseth is trying to be a smooth-talker today during his confirmation hearing…
But he’s sexist, against diversity in our armed forces, and is unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense.
That’s the substance over style that the Senate must focus on.
