FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

A pardon meant to correct injustice has become a loyalty program—commit the crime for the cause, and the insurance policy comes signed at the top.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

I'm old enough to remember the good ol' days, back in April 2023, when unemployment was at a 50-year low.

I understand that the news media don’t want to be judge and jury on Trump’s lawbreaking. But they could at least say he’s defying or ignoring laws instead of saying he’s “pushing the boundaries“ or “testing the limits.” Media weasel-wording empowers the fascists.

If I were a governor, I’d put the National Guard on the streets immediately to protect my constituents against these masked federal thugs.

If I were back in Congress, I would vote to shut the government down until those masked federal thugs were off our streets.

Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

A U.S. citizen legally observed ICE activity from a distance. He didn’t interfere, block agents, or make contact. An ICE agent still threatened lethal force and referenced a recent killing. That’s retaliation for protected speech—and it’s illegal. Caught on video. #sheshed

HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE goons today, and not being allowed to go near her. The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

At SNL I worked with artists who made the funniest, stupidest graphics in no time flat. Some of my biggest jokes would have been impossible without these geniuses building an insane image or finding the perfect real-life photo of a politician. Sucks that their work is being pushed aside for slop.
SNL used AI art tonight, multiple times.

Booooooo.

When Biden gave the worst debate performance in history, my job as a neutral reporter was to write about it incessantly until he dropped out. When Trump gave the second worst debate performance in history, against Harris, my job was to lend credence to his claim that immigrants were eating pets.
