Gabbard’s role in Fulton raid highlights wild conspiracy theories fueling 2020 probe
"She has neither the authority nor the competence to assess anything in that voting site," a voting advocate said of Gabbard.

I am deeply concerned about Liam and every child at the Dilley Detention Center.
No parent should have to worry about whether their child is eating, getting medical care, or deteriorating in detention.
What I saw was alarming — and unacceptable. Liam must be released immediately.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...
ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested
There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.
They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.
Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.
And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.
The system is rigged.

Minnesota is grieving. But we’re resolved. The support we’ve received from across the country has energized us, and given us hope.
It’s time for the federal government to draw down their forces and let us get back to allowing freedom, opportunity, and security – for everyone.

New in PN: 'Abolish ICE' is imperative
"There's no amount of training that can instill basic humanity in thugs who willingly mistreat women, children, and old men. ICE agents reportedly dined at a Mexican restaurant in MN before arresting employees. How will 'training' fix that level of depravity?"

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

Democrats' demand that Stephen Miller is fired as a condition of voting for ICE funding is one of the smartest moves they've made under Trump.
Miller is a loathsome figure who I imagine has rock-bottom likability numbers. Democrats should try to raise his public salience as often as possible.

Yes, it’s astonishing that Kristi Noem still has her job after the deaths, lies, and failures on her watch.
But the American people have the final say when it comes to holding this entire administration - from the president on down - accountable for its cruelty and corruption.

Joaquin Castro says Liam is depressed, lethargic, sleeping excessively and barely eating, repeatedly asking about his mom, and when he can go home. He’s withdrawn and not the bright preschooler he was just days ago.
