Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

Kristi Noem prayed over federal agents who were about to go snatch people off the streets. When a government official acting in her official capacity as the Secretary of Homeland Security leads a prayer before a federal operation you run right into the First Amendment's Establishment Clause

An extremely rough day for Edgewater in Chicago. ICE activity near schools. People kidnapped while working in yards, standing on hiring corners. So many rapid responders biking, walking, driving, whistles around necks, trying to protect their neighbors, but up against such well-funded forces.

Is this making America great again? There is no honor here. No justice. No decency. No law. Just force.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

So if Russ Vought and Bob Kennedy were deliberately trying on behalf of an enemy to sicken and kill Americans by destroying the public health structure - what would they be doing differently?

I saw the new George Orwell documentary last night. It’s called 2+2=5. I have been a little bit squeamish about applying the word totalitarian to Trump and the Republicans. Not anymore. We are experiencing a totalitarian movement. There’s no question.

The loss of Keaton is a blow to any fan of 1970s cinema. So iconic.

“It made my career,” she said of “Annie Hall.” “It was everything. It’s the reason we’re sitting here having this nice conversation. Everything always goes back to that.”
