ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

Gotta love hearing that a recession with inflation is a very real possibility this year and watching the market tank at the same time. So awesome.

Weren’t the Republicans always fixated on “what could’ve happened” not what “did happen” with Hillary Clinton’s emails?

So, what the fuck is John Ratcliffe talking about? This administration is totally and completely inept and dangerous. Very bad combo. #signalgate

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

Trump: “There is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud.”

Yes, there’s no standing ovation for cutting funding for cancer research, stripping Medicaid, and raising costs for working people.

Trump claims he’s “rescuing the economy” — but his tariffs are just a giant tax on American consumers that will cost the average family thousands of dollars.

It’s a betrayal of the middle and working class.

Trump is making up stats about Social Security so he has an excuse to cut your benefits.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

It's been obvious since January 6 that he was an enemy of the USA, the UK & the whole of the free world. Everybody still in his camp understands this as completely as everybody against it. They just prioritise personal interest over the national & international. And they know it. They all know it.
