Imagine being 17, your little brother by your side, begging to speak to your dad as he’s dragged away. You may never see him again. And this is every day. Soul shattering, nightmarish stuff, never to be forgiven.

A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

i don't like how many people accepted the 'we got here cause cancel culture went too far' reading on the last decade. that's right wing recruitment rhetoric. there was/is 10x more power in complaining about being criticized than doing the criticism.

We should not just be asking the real price of this ballroom, how it’s really being financed and how Trump could get away with this East Wing demolition and desecration of our history. We should find out whether he’s building an underground bunker and how much he’s stealing for himself.

The Framers in their infinite foresight only required Congress to meet once a year on the first Monday in December so they're free to just do nothing the other 364 days if the Speaker says so.

"This assault threatens our ability to think critically, remember our past honestly, and imagine a future that is not dictated by the state. This is a battle for the American soul, and for the sake of the freedoms we are guaranteed, it is a battle we must not lose."

“Authoritarians always target art first. They do so, because art and history are enemies of the myths a regime needs to survive." From my new TIME piece on Donald Trump’s campaign to defund the arts and rewrite our history. The stakes could not be higher.

Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History

"The campaign to defund the arts, capture our museums, and rewrite our history is a prelude to silencing dissent."

1. Reagan’s speech is real

2. It’s public domain

3. Americans pay the cost of the added 10% tariffs, not Canadians

4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact check

5. The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs

It’s still hard to grasp that there aren’t 4 GOP Reps (who will otherwise be forgotten forever after retiring & likely defeated next year anyway) aren’t interested in going down in history as all-time 🇺🇸 heroes by caucusing with the Dems & giving them the majority to impeach Trump & save the Republic

Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Just in: Documents show conclusively that Donald Trump raped underage girls. The radical lunatic president should be prosecuted.

Public posts about women taking responsibility for being assaulted, racist and transphobic messages should be disqualifying. There’s no regret from him. Then he leveled up with a nazi tattoo and he’s still in it? JFC

Hegseth has fired his top military adviser, nearly his entire roster of civilian aides, all senior legal officers, and has grown increasingly suspicious, surrounding himself with a small circle including his wife. This is how militaries are corrupted competence purged, loyalty installed.
