A Norwegian immigrant was arrested at her green card interview.

She’s also insulin-dependent and was denied insulin for 9 days while in detention.

The cherry on top?

“While I was in detention, an agent or guard stole my credit card and started using it WHILE I WAS STILL IN THERE.”

If they force us to choose between calling for the resignation of imbecilic bigots or normalizing hateful religious incitement, that’s not a tough one. This fanatic should spare his constituents any further embarrassment and resign.

The President is lying to the public:

1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land.

Trump & ICE cruelty are depraved.

Yesterday, I shared a clip from this brilliant reporter, @lidiaterrazas.bsky.social about the very sick 2 month old, Juan Nicolás that ICE deprived of medical attention until the infant was unresponsive.

Here's another story from her about a young mother & doctor.

I feel bad when I read people who say they hate writing, especially to the extent they’d let an LLM do it. Writing was the path to making me feel human and the emotional journey of doing it all the time fills me full of purpose. I refuse to believe I’m the only person who feels like this!

NEW: If one phrase should be retired from Trump analysis, it’s that they have “said the quiet part out loud.”

In today’s politics, there’s no quiet part.

The president is making his desire to steal the 2026 elections loud and clear, and it’s due time we listen, Marc Elias writes.

In Donald Trump’s politics, there is no quiet part. Everything is intended to be said aloud for everyone to hear.

Nice to see another outlet picking up on the fact that a Republican candidate for governor in Tennessee confirmed to us he believes women who make their own reproductive decisions and get abortions should face the death penalty.
