When a country allows its meanest, most despicable citizens to run everything.
“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears. "She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.” “'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..." azmirror.com/2026/04/10/i...

🚨Articles of Impeachment Filed!🚨 Time and again, Pam Bondi and her DOJ have failed survivors, obstructed justice, lied to the courts, and defied Congress and the law. That’s why I joined @repsummerlee.bsky.social in filing Articles of Impeachment against Bondi. It’s way past time for accountability!

Absolutely insane. We were literally the leading economy in the world after the pandemic and Trump and this stupid Republican Congress torched it.
Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is very very low level of job creation. If you adjust the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"

I will be on the floor with Cory to offer this resolution. There is a growing group of Democratic Senators who refuse to let Republicans keep the Senate silent on this incoherent, illegal, disastrous war.
Tonight, on the Senate floor, I will call up my War Powers Resolution to withdraw U.S. forces from this reckless and unauthorized war of choice with Iran. The Senate must do its job and hold this administration accountable.

Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon briefings since the war against Iran began “have reminded the world why he is exactly the wrong person to hold the position he does,” Peter Wehner argues:

The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez. I hope they are shunned by family and friends.

Reminder. Here are the House Democrats who crossed party lines and voted to fund ICE. House Democrats who voted to fund ICE: - Tom Suozzi (D-NY) - Henry Cuellar (D-TX) - Don Davis (D-NC) - Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX) - Laura Gillen (D-NY) - Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) - Jared Golden (D-ME)

Absolutely right. And I think it's especially true in this case as ICE has been a magnet for thugs who couldn't cut it in the military or normal law enforcement but desperately want to be respected as A Troop. This is why it's particularly effective when actual veterans show up to mock them.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny

Here are videos sent to me of the incident Frey details (1/2)
Frey: "An individual from a car that was in the middle of a street was detained. ICE left the car in the middle of the street. The car wasn't even in park, so you got it just rolling down the street w/nobody in it. It could've hit anybody, including my own family. This is not about safety"

Democrats cannot ignore Trump's abuses. What they can do is their level best to expose them to as many people as possible right now—and when the time is right, to stop them.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

The invasion of MN is, I strongly believe, an attempt to create cause to invoke Insurrection Act. It is a pivotal moment to attempt to discredit the goons or face civil war. Greg Bovino's job, from day one, has been to create excuses to invade military. www.emptywheel.net/2026/01/07/t...
