ICE must be reined in. In Texas and everywhere else: Vote out the GOP, who are letting them run rampant.

I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.
Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

If you gambled and lost, don’t ask the American people to bail you out.

If I said I wished for Israel what Israel has done to Gaza, would that be considered "anti-Semitic"? Why? Don't the Israelis rptedly claim they're doing everything they can in their "war on Hamas" to avoid civilian casualties? 🤔 #auspol #IsraelTerroristState #GazaGenocide

Exactly right. Miles just laid it out plainly and suddenly the story snapped into focus. When the facts line up this cleanly, the denial doesn’t matter. This is why independent reporting still scares the hell out of them.

The IRS is being gutted under Trump — which is great news for any rich tax cheats who want to dodge what they owe.
And instead of fixing this, Trump is of course suing the agency for $10 billion dollars — which will come out of the taxpayers pocket.
The grift never ends.

Taxpayer services are, unsurprisingly, in worse shape as lawmakers gut the IRS.
Filing your taxes should be easy, fast, and free. But it seems that the Trump administration is working to do the opposite.
