The same week top officials denied ICE/CBP was mistakenly arresting citizens, immigration agents were filmed doing that very thing. Twice. One Alabama man was detained for the 3rd time in a year, even though he's actively suing for his last arrest I spoke to him for my latest @propublica.org story

Trump is 'dropping' his bogus lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for a slush fund, courtesy of your tax dollars, that he can use to pay off his political allies. While people drown in high prices & inflation — Trump’s lining his & his buddies’ pockets. We will fight this.

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

This plan is absolute madness. Building a data center that is SIXTY SQUARE MILES in mountain west drought land which on paper will raise the temperature of the entire area by 5-12 DEGREES F is mental Unless the reality show is to create an American Aral Sea www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

WIC used to have bipartisan support because even Republicans said "Well of course we want to make sure pregnant women and babies have enough to eat, we're not monsters," but now they say "Screw those freeloading babies, we've got a gold-plated ballroom to build"

Well, you can understand how The Anschutz Corporation that owns Coachella and funds various anti-woman/LGBTQ organizations wouldn't want to have their reputation confused with someone trying to promote humanity and kindness in the world. www.them.us/story/coache...
A Dearborn animal shelter raising money for homeless dogs and cats has been forced to rename its upcoming “Pawchella” fundraiser after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from the company behind Coachella, one of the world’s most famous music festivals.

do you know how much pro-democracy media propaganda you can buy from $57 million? i guess i don't know exactly but i would guess a lot.
also per my last thread - jaime harrison and the democrats raised over $57 million so he could make consultants wealthier and lose to lindsey graham by 10. imagine if instead of wasting that money democrats invested in media and message.

Generally if someone disappears from the ICE detainee locator system it is because they are in the process of being deported. And yes, they move people to other facilities right before their hearings on purpose. There are a dozen “shuffle” flights between detention centers every day.
new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

Sean Duffy’s reality series is getting slammed for all of the obvious reasons, but don’t look past the fact that his show is being sponsored by companies his department oversees and regulates. In other words, it’s not just a political mess, it’s also an ethical one. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump's billion-dollar ballroom is now so toxic that some vulnerable House Republicans don't want to vote on it. This is important, because to Trump/MAGA, the ballroom represents a potent symbol of his imperial/dictatorial presidency. 1/ (new piece from me) newrepublic.com/article/2101...

Replying to @gregsargent.bsky.social
Dems who dismissed the ballroom as a "distraction" were playing dumb about the deeper significance of the ballroom as a Trumpian assertion of imperial/dictatorial power. That's why it's heartening that a new Wapo poll shows huge majorities oppose it. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2101...

insane every blue state in the country needs to pack their own state Supreme Court immediately if the unelected law wizards want to make donald trump a god-king with a 30% approval rating their power must be broken at every level
BREAKING: In a loss for Democrats, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the congressional map voters approved last month to counter GOP gerrymanders cannot go into effect. The decision overturns the will of voters for technical reasons and gives Republicans a leg up for the 2026 midterms.

Trump has apparently been gluing challenge coins to the doors of the West Wing. Fascinating how the challenge coin thing has been embraced by right-wingers with no military or law enforcement experience as a sort of currency of valor. slate.com/news-and-pol...
