I want to say this too: this victory was won because we had observers EVERYWHERE. ICE and CBP couldn't set foot in our city without cameras rolling. Much of the nation seemed determined to ignore our plight for weeks, but the avalanche of documentation we produced dragged the nation to us.

People are missing a big thing about the saga of the detained 5-year-old. When Vance calls the father an "illegal alien" it seems to reflect a little-known Trump admin move that attempts to nullify asylum claims before they are even heard.

This policy is a horror:

Thread: Jay Bhattacharya and RFK Jr. censoring science and setting back American brain disease cures banning NIH travel to the ACNP meeting. 🧪
Meeting was last week. NIH scientists got word the week of Jan 5 that previously NIH-approved travel to ACNP meeting had been blocked by DHHS. I’ve heard estimates that this affected between 73 and 200 employees. Lots of theories as to why but no concrete explanation.

These 19 swing districts are the Democrats’ best chance to take control of the House in 2026.

Democrats in ALL 50 STATES need to support these races.

This is the only path to flipping the House.

Whether you donate money or donate your time, every action counts.

This report is something I've been working on for months and I'm very proud to finally share with the public.

If you are looking for a comprehensive overview of what's going on with ICE detention and how ICE got there over the last year, this report will be enormously helpful.

Check it out!
Rather than addressing serious public safety threats, the government is spending billions on mass detention to pressure people who pose no threat to give up their cases and accept deportation.

It is a system built to produce deportations, not justice.

On Dec. 4, DOJ labeled people who impede or "dox" ICE agents "domestic terrorists." I document how DHS believes following, recording, and protesting agents is "impeding," and has a policy of threatening & arresting ICE observers. That's unconstitutional. www.cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...

OK then, what was the action? What has the Trump admin done? What proposals have they made? They have only ever offered “thoughts and prayers” on social media. Nothing else.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Perhaps it's just the clips that are making their way to social media, but there seems to be more of an appetite for publicly confronting Noem over obvious lies, which, to channel @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, is a good thing.
