ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

I wish I was surprised that Deadline claims it asked questions that were actually asked by me and other journalists at this James Gunn press conference. No one from Deadline even *submitted questions* for it (and I know, because I moderated). This is just brazen and sad.

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."

Palestinians have families, too.

This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.

I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

The DOJ is currently arguing in court that the president can deliberately provoke unrest and incite chaos in a city and then can use that turmoil as justification for deploying the National Guard.

Heather Cherone @heathercherone.bsky.social · 2d

Perry: How do you respond to the plaintiffs' contention that any unrest, any violence is the fault of how federal agents are interacting with members of the public? Does it matter if their conduct is why they can't execute federal laws?
Hamilton: No.

It’s not the exact funding plan Ds backed 13 times. The March ‘25 CR increased defense spending by $6B & cut non-defense spending by $13B. It’s why most Ds didn’t vote for it, including in the Senate, but 10 Ds did vote to help it clear the filibuster. www.npr.org/2025/03/14/n...

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
