I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

I joined 18 attorneys general in supporting a legal challenge to federal executive orders that attack diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility programs, and strip funding from organizations serving LGBTQ+ communities, especially transgender individuals.

Sorry, is there a question here?

27 children died.

Close the goddam camps if you can’t comply with safety measures.

This isn’t the first time flash flooding in this zone has killed campers, just the most well known with the highest death toll.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

Here’s what I’m fighting for:
1. Our service members and their families
2. Lower health care costs for MILLIONS across this country
3. Health insurance for over 660,000 Californians that could lose it if Congress doesn’t act
4. Seniors and working families who face skyrocketing costs

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has formally canceled session in the House again, leaving Congress in recess. Military service members will miss their October 15 paycheck because of this. If troops go without pay, this will be a shameful first in our nation's history.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
