Donald Trump’s administration doesn’t respect the Constitution.

But they’re learning that Illinois does not and will not bow under their tyranny.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

“We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

Trump’s DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challeng...

Nothing says Make America Great Again quite like giving Argentina’s dictator $40B to help save his country from sheer ruin whilst also preparing to flood the American markets with imports from that same country like Argentinian Beef which will be catastrophic for US farmers.

I always knew that some portion of Americans were soulless fuckers. But I never could’ve imagined that a major American political party — the party of Lincoln — would be made up entirely of soulless fuckers.

Trump demanding $230 million from the DOJ, that he controls, is a shakedown of the American taxpayers so that Trump can line his own pockets.

“There’s a government shutdown happening right now across the street, and on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, they’re tearing down the East Wing.”

Federal Judge Jeffrey Cummings has found that ICE agents violated the terms of a consent decree by detaining people without proper warrants. He ruled that as of this week ICE must wear body cams at all times and can face arrest and contempt proceedings if they conduct unlawful, warrantless arrests.

Hey #MAGA,

Job well done.
You don't get your #SNAP benefits next month, but at least your king broke ground on his royal ballroom.

Since 2010, the largest increases in SNAP use have happened in counties that voted for #Trump. 8 out of 10 of those counties saw sharpest growth in reliance on SNAP.

The noise of the excuses made by Mike Johnson for his foot dragging procrastination in swearing in Adelita Grijalva evoke a scene from one of Shakespeare's plays. "...full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

Arizona attorney general sues Mike Johnson for failing to seat Adelita Grijalva

Arizona A.G. Kris Mayes explains why she is suing Mike Johnson for not swearing Adelita Grijalva into office. "By not swearing her in he's depriving 813,000 Arizonans of representation. That's called taxation without representation. We fought a revolutionary war over that."
