The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago

The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country. My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

A massive warehouse in Tremont. Pa. that once moved cheap goods will now detain migrants in an $119 million ICE deal.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

I’m not a Texan, but it’s hard to ignore what’s happening in the Democratic Senate primary in the state. We’re all clocking it, right?

Let’s start with what should be obvious: whoever wins the Democratic nomination, we Dems should support him or her.

This is a pattern. Far and not-so-fa left/progressives need to reckon with racism within.

Is Trump less popular than he was when he took office? Yes. Has the bottom dropped out on his overall approval rating? No. Is there some Republican opposition to some of his policy positions? Yes. Will that necessarily translate to Republicans voting Democratic? No.

If Trump's base isn't leaving him over his administration killing Americans in the streets or his being in the Epstein files, they're not going to leave him. Some folks on here listen too much to hopium pollsters & analysts and not enough to political scientists on these types of things.

Nothing about borders: "for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Matt 25:35

This passed unnoticed: New Pew poll finds 64% oppose mass detention of migrants while their cases are decided.

That directly repudiates MAGA. Trumpism treats the release of migrants awaiting hearings as a mortal blow to the nation. The broader public does not. 3/

Again, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.

These 5 people could caucus with the Democrats, giving them a majority & firmly opposing the fascism, any time. It might be nice for an enterprising journalist to ask them why they keep not doing this every day as the crimes & corruption continue & John Thune refuses to fulfill his oath of office.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?

You know how I reported that Dems flipped 21% of all GOP-held legislative seats at play throughout 2025, so more than one in five?

Well, they kept that up in January:

Dems flipped 1 out of the 3 GOP-held seats that were in play last month.

And they came within 21 votes of making it 2 out of 3.

Liam Ramos gets to meet the pilot and visit the cockpit on his flight home from the Texas ICE camp

This little boy has become an inadvertent symbol of resistance

A reminder of why we fight

What ICE did to this child was wrong.

May the kindness he receives today help heal the damage.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
