All the threats from Trump and his henchmen to Republican state senators in Indiana failed. Mid-decade gerrymandering rejected. This is no small thing. Maybe some other Republicans will finally start to stand up to the Mob Boss.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

🚨Arresting US citizens who have not broken any laws is now acceptable practice in the United States of America. The only thing worse than being ICE is pretending that you don’t see what is happening to our neighbors. She isn’t a hero, she’s an American. 🇺🇸

My quote of the day

Impeachment is not a remedy for private wrongs; it's a method of removing someone whose continued presence in office would cause grave danger to the nation.

Like their intellectual predecessors in the Hitler Youth, the point of TPUSA is to intimidate the educators and students who don’t share ruling party ideology into silence. This is just basic fascism.
Happening now: Texas leaders announcing a rollout of a statewide program to put TPUSA chapters in high schools and colleges across the state. Gov. Abbott adds that schools that stand in the way should be reported to the Texas Education Agency.

I’m not running for Congress for any reason other than making change.
Donald Trump can go on TV and call America affordable. We know it’s a damn lie.

I believe we can rebuild the American Dream of homeownership, financial security, and building real wealth that you can pass down to your children. But it starts by being honest about the state of our country.

Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record.

ICE Arrest Data Shows Many Immigrants With No Criminal Record
In high-profile operations, more than half of those arrested had no criminal record, an analysis shows.

The USPS is a service to the American people, it is not a business.

Would you say the U.S. Air Force posted a $209 Billion loss? No, you would not. Because it is not a business.
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

We are much less safe with these people in charge.

This is abject incompetence and insanity, rejecting sound public health policy and science.

A picture is worth a 1000 words. The birth dose of hepatitis B vaccines in the USA eliminated perinatally acquired hepatitis B infection from over 20,000 cases a year before the vaccine was introduced to <20 cases a year. The gaslighting by the current members ACIP is obscene, unethical and cruel.

Why are we letting these jackbooted thugs do this? When will it stop? When will there be justice for this woman and so many others like her? Keep filming, everybody. Nuremberg is coming for everyone involved in these atrocities.
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

If we define “news” only as what is novel rather than what is right in front of our eyes, this is not particularly newsworthy. Trump has been attacking racial and ethnic groups for his entire political career: Mexicans, Muslims, Haitians, Afghans, Africans...
