A Minneapolis pastor of an MCC church — a denomination rooted in LGBTQ equality — recounts being detained by ICE.
Says an ICE officer walked up to him as he was chanting “we are not afraid.”
The agent, he says, raised his gun and said “are you afraid now?”

it's darkly humorous to listen to Trump and his cronies reference the fact that Maduro was indicted in SDNY as evidence he's a dictator and overall bad guy

Actually, that exactly how JURISDICTION works unless you have an extradition treaty
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

This administration lied about the people it sent to an overseas torture prison. It lies about the people it’s deporting. It lies every day to gain political advantage. Not a chance in hell they won’t lie about huge swaths of people they suspect might vote for the other party.

Trump has reportedly drafted an executive order banning states from regulating AI.
Meanwhile, the AI industry has amassed over $100M for next year's midterms to defeat proponents of federal regulation.
We must stop this Big Tech takeover before it's too late.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

For all the anger at the pitiful Democratic leadership, rank and file Democrats seem to be demonstrating that they are actually in charge of the party and will set its direction. That is a good thing. The GOP belongs to one man; the future of the Democrats is up to every Democrat.

BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

This is exactly the consistent messaging every elected Dem needs to do…over and over through the mid terms.
Let’s be clear:
Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.
Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.
