while I agree with you entirely, calling them “agents” gives them too much credit. they’re thugs with government paychecks, and if they weren’t working under trump’s umbrella, we’d all be calling it terrorism

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents?

Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx

California can't do this by themselves. Other blue states need to follow suit. Republicans are changing the maps in 7 states. Where are the rest of our Democratic governors? Republicans will lie, cheat, and steal to win. What are democrats doing to stop them?

After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were.

The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

This is a powerful post by Laurene Powell Jobs on what is means to be a philanthropist and, more importantly, what it does not. Kudos to her for saying it so plainly.

Hey @nytimes.com, did you change your headline, and change "Islamophobic attacks" on Mamdani to just "attacks," because Elise Stefanik and the GOP bullied you into it? Really? Why are they no longer Islamophobic attacks, as your headline originally and correctly stated?
