This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Kamlager-Dove: We cannot have a president asleep on the job. Is he sleeping in classified briefings or on calls with foreign leaders? How can we trust a president who is literally asleep at the wheel?

AOC: I think it’s pretty unbelievable that Gaza would not be mentioned once in the autopsy report. I think it was very clearly a major dynamic and a major thread that was happening in 2024. The fact that it’s not even addressed, I think, is a major oversight.

Trump posts that after the “death of Iran,” Americans’ “greatest enemy” is now the “Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democrat Party.” This kind of rhetoric is beyond irresponsible and dangerous. It is anti-American.

This is exactly right. They haven't settled for dim brutes who blindly follow orders regardless of the law. That's what they want. That's what they got. There's no reforming or improving it now. Democrats need to investigate, defund, and ultimately disband the president's brownshirt brigade.

People might argue that ICE is not recruiting quality agents. But I would insist that they are in fact successfully recruiting the exact sort of person needed to carry out the mission: reactionary, angry, violent people who don’t believe in democracy. www.ms.now/opinion/ice-...

She asked one question: "Are you ICE?" With no warning, agents took her to the ground. They shackled her for hours. They cut off parts of her clothes — and even her wedding ring. Now, @aclumn.bsky.social is fighting back for protesters, observers and journalists exercising their 1A rights.

.@pabloreports.bsky.social : Do you think you could beat JD Vance in a head-to-head race for president, as polling suggests? AOC: I would stomp him.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits. If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported? Noem: We have not deported military veterans. Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

Bernie’s right: if this is Trump’s “A+++ economy,” G-d help us when it hits a B. People don’t need his spin; they feel it in grocery aisles, rent bills, and college costs. When 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, that’s not strength. That’s the crisis Trump built.

I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.

Couple of things here: 1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently 2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts" 3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring" 4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

A Democratic Party not having an explicit platform of reforming the Judicial Branch after today is not a party I want to vote for. The strongly worded letters have to stop someday.

the biggest lie in american politics, probably only second to bush lying us into iraq, has been democrats constantly telling us "we just can't..." only to watch republicans do whatever the fuck they want over and over and over. makes me sick.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

I don't see how it's possible for Kilmeade to keep his job after saying such horrendous & cruel things on live television. I have yet to see a response from Fox. I can tell you if a Canadian broadcaster said those words on live TV they would be instantly fired. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

The Trump administration has not yet offered a legal rationale for murdering 11 people in a strike on a Venezuelan boat, which begs the question — was there even an attempt to concoct one for the attack? I filed a FOIA request with the Pentagon and the Office of Legal Counsel to find out.

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

So yesterday I learned about Ava Cordero, a transgender woman who, in 2007, sued Jeffrey Epstein alleging he sexually abused her when she was 16. Her lawsuit was filed in 2007 while Epstein was negotiating a plea deal in Florida for abusing other girls, but her claims were mocked and dismissed
