ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.

"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"

Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

Trump’s fascist GOP is first and foremost eugenicist.

Hold firm. Extend ACA subsidies separately from budget process. No Dem support for anything that funds Trump’s lawbreaking. This may be the opportunity America has been waiting for for the GOP to kill the filibuster that has so hampered progress over the decades.

If GOP wants to abolish the filibuster over this, awesome. It helps Rs way more than Ds. It’s also a central reason for loss of faith in government over the last 25 yrs. Rs can reopen the govt tonight if they want. If they want to do it to make sure 15 million lose their health care that’s on them.

Founders did not create filibuster, duh

Today’s GOP Congressional caucus and SCOTUS majority is lawless, corrupt, and uncommitted to Constitutional order. “Bipartisan” is meaningless when Democrats have no legitimate negotiating partner under a Constitutional order.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

SCOTUS will need to extend sovereign immunity to the Queen as well.

Bondi is not capable of feeling embarrassment.

The Queen has sovereign immunity also.

Dems should have nuked the filibuster a long time ago. If Dems had done that, we would have an ACA public option, maybe Medicare for All. There would have been no need to reform SCOTUS, women’s health protected, DC statehood, and on and on and on …
