The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.
This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.
We have a crisis in maternal health here in the U.S.
Black women are 3 - 4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes and cuts to healthcare programs across the country will only make this worse!
This #BlackMaternalHealthWeek, we must fight like hell for the equity Black women deserve.
I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.
It's not relevant whether Abrego Garcia has committed thousands of crimes. Disappearing him off to an El Salvadorean maximum security prison *without due process* is wholly illegal totalitarian bullshit. Everyone who has been sent there by this administration should be brought back, not just him.
In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”
This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.
He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.
This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.
Nice chart in Martin Wolf's column today showing the inconvenient truth for the White House –– global trade has become more, not less, liberalised over the past two decades as almost all emerging economies substantially lowered their effective tariffs.
🚨 NEWS: The White House confirms the tariff on Chinese imports is now 145%—not 125%.
Reminder: tariffs are taxes on imported goods, which means Americans end up paying more.
Pundits are - in vain - looking to economics and politics when trying to explain Trump's behavior.
But, in reality, the central place to look if we want to understand Trump and his policies is this:
The psychology of dominance.

If you commit a crime, the IRS doesn't prosecute you. They hand that over to the DOJ. Gutting the DOJ tax section will institute a free-for-all for the richest taxpayers.
Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.
NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.
So, best we share all the footage we can here!
This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

A friend of my compared gutting of federal agencies to a wrecking a car: if you remove 30% of the parts of the car, it does not go 30% slower. It stops working.
This is veteran Thomas Begay, one of the last two living Navajo Code Talkers from World War II. The Trump Administration is removing Navajo Code Talkers from military websites as part of its DEI purge.
REPOST if you stand with Begay against Donald Trump!
Our Secretary of Defense almost certainly has more threatening/extremist tattoos and has more credibly been accused of sexual assault than almost all of the people being sent to El Salvador. No exaggeration.
Stephen Miller is on TV all day every day trying to explain how district court judges have no authority over POTUS.
Stephen Miller also spent the last four years suing Biden in district court.
I’m starting to think Stephen Miller isn’t arguing in good faith here. 🙄
I completely understand Schumer wanting to avoid a shutdown - they’re destructive, and they harm a lot of folks who don’t deserve it.
What I *don’t* understand is Schumer saying that Dems were unified in opposition only to change his mind a day later. He looks like a jackass.
To be clear: every Press Secretary spins narratives for their administration.
This isn’t that. It’s a flat out lie. Leavitt knows it, every journalist in that room knows it, and any American citizen with a half-functioning brain should know it too.
Leavitt: Tariffs are a tax hike on foreign countries and a tax cut for the American people
Reporter: Have you ever paid a tariff? I have. They don’t get charged on foreign countries
Leavitt: I think it’s insulting that you are trying test my knowledge on economics
