I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting.

I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Trump on Americans' healthcare costs going up by 200-300%: "Don't make it sound so bad"
Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?

TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

I posted this a couple of weeks ago.

Short of repealing CU (a virtual impossibility), THIS is the most effective way of returning the power to the people, and the people's right to choose their representation.
If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

“We chose Karoline Leavitt to be his godmother over my own sister- just because you went to Catholic school doesn’t make you a good Catholic. I’m not the first, I won’t be the last, they’re separating kids from moms every day. Where does it end?”

Steve Bannon ripped off his own followers with his ‘build the wall’ scam. Trump pardons him. Then photos come out showing him hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein AFTER he was charged with child trafficking, and yet he somehow has an audience because really MAGA stands for nothing.

Update: DOJ haw now sued 18 states.

My law firm has already filed to intervene to defend voters in 13 of the first 14 cases. We are working on the remains 5.

This is an insane effort by DOJ and we are a small firm. But we are committed to protecting free and fair elections in 2026.

More soon.
DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data.

My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

My husband just had a good idea. Someone should make millions of exact copies of the million dollar Trump immigration card and pass them out to immigrants everywhere.

Stephen Miller's agenda of cruelty and chaos is literally disappearing people. These are real families and real children torn apart.

This is Donald Trump's reign of terror.

I can save you time so you can skip the play-by-play of manufactured drama in the House today. The usual suspects pretended to hold out claiming they were standing on principle for various things. Then they caved in exchange for symbolic bs, or nothing at all. Everyone declared victory.

The way that this administration is targeting and harassing Somalians in Minneapolis is disgusting and vile. Keep filming this because one day we are going to hold these agents accountable. Last I heard peacefully protesting doesn’t warrant being sprayed with chemical irritants.

These service members were used as bait. Trump wanted armed resistance to justify war.

No one should ever be forgiven for putting this maniac back in power.
