Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

All summer, I’ve been speaking to a Nigerian mom of two kids who won fear-based protection in an immigration court. Under a previous admin, she would have likely been released, but ICE refused to let her out and tried to deport her to Ghana -> @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Coast Guard works for ICE now.

Coast Guard planes previously used for search and rescue have done hundreds of secret ICE flights in recent weeks, including two I watched from a public parking lot near BWI.

My exclusive for Rolling Stone:

ICE Is Constantly Using Coast Guard Planes to Move Immigrants
Donald Trump’s deportation henchmen appear to have dramatically increased the use of Coast Guard aircraft to transport immigrants.

Reminder: this country literally had a revolution because they didn’t want to pay tariffs on tea!

Tariffs are in the Constitution—and Congress has the power, not a wannabe king with a spray tan. Just sayin.

Look, Trump is who he is. He’s a pathological liar. He’s incapable of shame. He’s a fascist. Does no good to call him out. It’s time to call out the fascist’s enablers - all those who bow to & cave to him. Shame on you @smithsonian.bsky.social. Shame on you for lying about American history.
Under pressure from the White House, the Smithsonian has removed Trump from the impeachment exhibit at the History Museum.

The exhibit now says that “only three presidents have seriously faced removal,” referring to Johnson, Nixon, and Clinton.

The exhibit now looks the way it did in 2008.
Smithsonian removes Trump from impeachment exhibit in American History Museum
A temporary placard, on display since 2021, described the president's historic impeachments. Officials said the exhibit was restored to an earlier version following a review of legacy content.

Tuberville doesn't know the three branches of the U.S. government in which he serves, but he knows that Putin wants Odessa, Crimea, and limits to NATO. And Tuberville can't blame Putin for those demands.

Huh.
Tuberville: "Putin is to the point where he's making so much progress ... he's gonna want a lot from the Ukrainians. He's gonna want a lot in terms of land, possibly even Odessa, he's gonna want Crimea, but he's gonna want NATO to stay away from his borders, and I can't blame him for that."

Republicans' scorched-earth budget sacrifices our public lands for billionaire tax cuts. Their efforts put at risk:

🏣 60,000+ good-paying clean energy jobs
🌳 13.5 million acres of public lands
🐆 Countless protections for endangered species

We MUST put a stop to this madness.
