ICE Associate Director Marcos Charles says that any individual that ICE agents encounter in, around, or in-route to a "target" is fair game for an interrogation, leaving the interviewer stunned.

A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants.
But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.

The first reporter to speak up, interrupt, and call Trump out to his face while he is berating, insulting and personally attacking another female reporter for no reason will be a national hero. You may lose access, but you will be a legend forever. At some point, someone has to.

Reminding people in the military and law enforcement of their oath and duty to the Constitution is only a bad thing to someone who wants to rip up the Constitution.

Agree 100%. Our media is failing us. There should be no “both sides” discussion and no gentle phrasing of headlines. Be blunt. Be bold.
Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:
“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

The structure and kind of people that enabled Epstein to do what he did while everyone knew what was going on, is exactly the same structure and kind of people around Trump who enable and embolden him to do incredible damage to our country and the world.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and I start with this clip of me from 2024 on Jimmy Kimmel Live and we talk about how Trump told us for years what he was going to do to the country now.
"Part of what frustrates me is how much people just didn't listen to the things that he said he was going to do."
"He was telling us he would do these things....he's a sick man."

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.
This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake,
don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year.
Don’t bother.
Please.
And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

Kirk is not a modern day St. Paul, despite what Cardinal Dolan says. The only thing that such myth-making achieves is fomenting resentment, curtailing dialogue, and stifling action to otherwise prevent this tragedy from happening again, says John Grosso.
Cardinal Dolan calls the late Charlie Kirk 'a modern day St. Paul.' I'm not making this up.
Cardinal Dolan joins the Catholic right's ever growing quest to lionize the late Charlie Kirk as a Christian martyr.

While it is understandable to focus attention on Trump’s attacks on democracy and the rule of law, we must not lose sight of the fact that it is the Republican Congress enabling his authoritarianism. Ignoring their complicity in Trump’s actions is a mistake—both legally and strategically.
