This is what those funds starting to flow looks like. It is going to get worse. Stop acting like this is normal. Stop running ads recruiting for ICE and salivating over ICE contracts. Start aligning with those under attack. Start promising accountability and reform. bsky.app/profile/mica...

They love him even when he abuses them.

Why is he doing it? Because his billionaire friends don’t want to lose their investments.

Please don’t ask taxpayers to bail you out.

As you like to remind us, this is what you voted for.

Judge permits questioning of top Border Patrol boss in lawsuit over treatment of protesters in Chicago

But the federal judge limited the deposition of Gregory Bovino to “how” federal officers are aggressively enforcing immigration law, not “why” they're doing it in Chicago.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

In exchange for getting to house migrants in El Salvador's notorious prison, the Trump administration agreed to give up top MS-13 cooperators, "a key step in hindering an ongoing U.S. investigation" into the Salvadoran government's relationship with the gang.

Marco Rubio sold out people cooperating AGAINST the gang that Trump claims to be trying to defeat in order to gain access to Nayib Bukele's concentration camp.

Yeah, we know they suck. But this is just stunning.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

No Senator has an obligation to vote for a budget that pays the bills for the destruction of our democracy or throws millions off their health care.

This is a moment for Democrats in Congress to draw a moral line in the sand.
