Can you help bring this father back home to Minnesota? He was kidnapped by ICE moments before wishing his granddaughter happy birthday on the phone. He’s been in the USA for over 25 years.

Maryland Democrats moved closer to redrawing the state’s congressional map Tuesday, as a key House committee approved legislation that would eliminate the state’s last GOP-held U.S. House seat and position Maryland as a counterweight to Republican gerrymanders nationwide.

Eric Garcia: Should Kristi Noem resign?

Murkowski: I voted for her. I would not support her again, and I think it’s probably time for her to step down.

It should be abundantly clear by now that Donald Trump and his racist thugs are lying to you about immigrants.

NEW EPISODE: Trump's DOJ is using the recent tragedies in Minneapolis to demand access to Minnesota’s voter rolls. I explain why Pam Bondi and the DOJ are targeting voter data nationwide ahead of the 2026 midterms, and how election denialism is driving violence and intimidation.

ICE's recent activity in Minneapolis, including the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, shows exactly what happens when a world leader uses religious coercion as a vehicle to force his violent agenda.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.

They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.

My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

This should be a bigger story:

White collar criminals are running free so that Donald Trump can pursue his cruel immigration agenda.

Trump is reassigning federal law enforcement officers who go after rich criminals to ICE.

I’m calling for an investigation.

This is at least the second interview Trump has done this month in this really weird format -- standing, with his overcoat still on, and at some distance from the man interviewing him.

All the rumors about binding girdles, adult diapers and his ungodly stench all seem a little more likely here.

You're going to tell their employers, their neighbors and their schools that they were out on the streets bravely defending their community from the masked goons who are murdering and terrorizing people?

Are you going to send them flowers and candy as well?
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

In all seriousness, it's a good thing that these ICE goons are stupid enough to keep announcing their criminal intentions to people recording them.

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.

This is a good start, but only a start.

Homan and Miller need to go as well, and ICE needs to be defunded, dismantled or at least stripped of its current powers.
Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately.

Or Democrats will initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House.

We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

While talking about Alex Pretti, Trump suggests he feels even worse about Renee Good because her parents were Trump fans.

I think the president's plan of telling voters that the prices at the grocery store have not, in fact, gone up on his watch is brilliant.

How could any consumer possibly notice what they're spending?
Trump: "Everything has come down. Do you notice that don't notice affordability anymore? That's like an old fashioned word."

The ugliest thing about this war is that russians can do whatever they want and remain unpunished.

Perhaps you’ve seen the news: russian drones hit a passenger train.
As of now, five people were killed.
