ICE PEPPER SPRAYED A ONE-YEAR-OLD because her mother was filming them.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.

They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

Another horrific story.

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's a day, & the president is illegally monetizing the office & stealing the power of the purse. Again.

Barbaric.
My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

I'll never get used to sheer, unadulterated meanness of this administration. They're completely unconcerned about lifting people up and solely focused on tearing people down. It is a movement that is absolutely devoid of a moral center. We need to present a clear moral vision in opposition.

Donald Trump wants to be recognized as a peacemaker.

His deputies obliged today by putting his name on the headquarters of the U.S. Institute of Peace, an agency that DOGE tried to kill.

The new name — the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace — "adds insult to injury," said a lawyer for USIP staff.
Building gets a new name: The ‘Donald J. Trump’ Institute of Peace
The change comes as Trump’s administration has touted his peace deals and ahead of a signing of a deal between the leaders from Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo this week.

IR Scholars: In addition to USIP being renamed the Donald J Trump Institute of Peace, ALL of its publications have been taken offline.

I learned this because I assign a USIP report in my next class, and students emailed tonight saying the link didn't work 🤦‍♂️
This is what the USIP website looks like currently:

Reestablishing independence at the Department of Justice will be key, so maybe this will require Congress, but one thing that's going to have to happen is the cancellation of every agreement between the DOJ and universities from the second Trump term. And investigations of university administrators.

People in the U.S. need to be paying attention to what’s happening in the U.K., because it’s going hand in hand with what is happening in the U.S., the agitators at work on both sides of the pond are working hand in hand with each other, and both have similar goals of ethnic cleansing.

Keep forgetting to say the most important thing:

These guys' fundamental glitch--whether we're talking abt Trump or the broligarchs or any of the intl rogue's gallery of celebs, CEOs & heads of state who appeared in the Panama Papers & other leaks--is that they can ONLY get off on transgression.

Wow.

U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie ruled Lindsey Halligan's appointment unlawful and the prosecutions against New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey therefore invalid.

Both indictments are dismissed without prejudice.

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.
Trump Admin planning a rule to re-decide whether *every* refugee who entered under Biden meets their criteria for a refugee. That’s 230,000 people! And no appeals!
