It shouldn’t be controversial to insist that Democrats vote to rein in this lawless and sadistic agency.
Demand that your Members of Congress use their leverage with the upcoming Homeland Security funding bill to get ICE Out For Good: act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...
Breaking WaPo:
The recent death of a detainee at an immigrant detention camp in Texas has been officially deemed a homicide, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday by the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner.
Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.
A blue wave from New York City to Mississippi delivers major wins for Democrats. Even Trump’s favorite Justices seem skeptical of his tariff authority claims. Meanwhile, layoffs surge and air travel chaos looms.
The big difference between Trump's first term and second is that he didn't burn down a strong economy with tariffs last time around. It's a lot easier for voters to overlook his bigoted nonsense and authoritarian bluster when they feel good about material conditions.
Trump continues to fuck over vulnerable House Republicans by insisting the economy is “doing great” while families drown in rent, food, and gas costs.
That’s why Republicans lost Tuesday - and why they’ll lose the midterms.
Thanks for the free ad for
Democrats Donnie.
Donald Trump raging about Democrats doing commercials about affordability and saving our economy would make a great commercial for our campaign.
What say you?
In other civilized countries the governments try to help their citizens. In America the government is at war with their citizens and are prepared to go to court to starve out the ones that need governments help the most.
Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”
The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

One of the biggest upsets on Tuesday: Aurora, one of Colorado's largest and more conservative-leaning cities, has swung to progressives.
The conservative mayor, Mike Coffman (who you may recall from his time in Congress), says he is 'stunned.'

NEW: Top GOP mapmaker Adam Kincaid called on campaign donors to fund congressional gerrymanders, saying “if you're looking for a return on your investment, redistricting is second to none” in securing the maximum number of possible U.S. House seats.
Mark Zuckerberg's Palo Alto neighbors complained about noise, security guards, and hordes of traffic. An unlicensed school named after the Zuckerbergs’ pet chicken tipped them over the edge.

So the story goes:
1-Trump sees high beef prices
2-Decides to quadruple Argentine imports
3-Gets condemned by ranchers saying that's not the problem
4-after being dogwalked, decides to do what the Biden admin was already doing on meatpackers (there's an active lawsuit)
Someone just informed me that they find the Oxford comma to be “overrated and unnecessary."
I find such comments to be discourteous, disrespectful, and unwarranted.
A constituency of young-ish, middle-class-ish New Yorkers are disillusioned by a city of wealth that they can’t seem to access. It’s undeniable that these voters were crucial to Zohran Mamdani’s success.
JUST IN: A federal judge has barred the Trump administration from using furloughed employees’ email accounts to broadcast partisan messages about the shutdown.

This capitulation will only embolden Trump to target other universities and institutions. This helps no one and only feeds the beast.
We must continue to stand with those who resist Trump’s lawlessness and call out those who don’t. Shame on Cornell.
Republicans rejecting the Dem shutdown offer (1 year extension of ACA subsidies while long-term solution is worked on) universally, digging in as their position has clearly been rejected at the ballot.
Over 200 contractors who work on improving Google’s AI products, including Gemini and AI Overviews, have been laid off, sources say. It’s the latest development in a conflict over pay and alleged poor working conditions.
Instead of making free speech, being suspiciously brown, and the Democratic Party illegal, Trump and Stephen Miller instead should make hand foot and mouth disease illegal, tho that would conflict with stated HHS guidelines
“Mercy deaths.” “Special wards.” Nazi medicine cloaked mass murder in euphemisms. The first gas chambers weren’t built at Auschwitz — they were built in hospitals.
Shit sucks all over, but this is how the weekend began for one guy in Ohio
And to be clear, if the trump administration had succeeded in doing to him what they wanted to, it would have made it easier to replicate it to numerous other victims of the government: www.propublica.org/article/ayma...
After months of smearing this guy as a possible terrorist or terrorist supporter who they needed to eject as soon as possible back to Egypt, the trump administration today filed a motion in court basically going, eh nvm
Glorious taxpayer funded use of time

Human-made global heating caused two in every three heat deaths in Europe during this year’s scorching summer, an early analysis of mortality in 854 big cities has found.
A harrowing report from our friends at @theguardian.com:
Can’t stop laughing at this (note not laughing at his death, obviously, just the literary allusion. Don’t come for me I barely have a job to begin with).
As Amy Klobuchar said: I just want this to stop.
During the campaign, Trump called Kamala Harris everything from “fascist” to “radical left communist fascist.”
Meanwhile, the Justice Department quietly took down data showing most ideological murders come from right-wing extremists.
As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."
NEW: Right-wing groups are pressuring a top federal voting agency to mandate proof of citizenship for voter registration, an effort that could revive a court-blocked provision of Trump’s anti-voting order and keep large numbers of potential new voters off the rolls.

GOP-led House Oversight Committee says it has Epstein estate documents, 'birthday book'
The committee issued a subpoena in late August for information from the estate.
Douglas Dietrich of Grifton, NC, was so comfortable with his racism and ignorance that he decided to put a public bullseye on his brown neighbor - who is an American CITIZEN. That's where we are in 🇺🇸.

In Ohio and other red states, “school choice” means that state legislatures and their donors are choosing not to adequately fund public education—including diverting district money to transport kids to private schools. It’s not about individual freedom.

Pictured below are two of the people who caused ACA premiums to soar. "At least 75% of the premium increases ... is because they're losing the advanced premium tax credit. ... It's because of who was elected to Congress and the presidency.”

House Democrats today posted on Twitter an image of a birthday message that Trump allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.
Trump has denied having anything to do with the card, which was included in a leather-bound book of birthday messages for the late convicted sex offender's 50th birthday.
