Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.
If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

This is the correct way to police ICE. And it drives the far right nuts. Good.

The issue isn't whether "Melania" is a good movie or a bad one. It's that one of the richest men in America, with business interests affected by public policy, gave the President's family $75 million to make it. Like that's somehow legal.

Tell me you don’t understand how the Fed works without…ohmygodnevermind
Q: All those Fed governors who wanted to pause interest rates, do you think they'll have their mind changed when there's a new chairman?
TRUMP: I do. If they respect the Fed chairman -- they don't respect this Fed chairman -- if they respect the Fed chairman, they'll be with us all the way

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.
1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.
2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.
3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.
4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

Here's a gift link to the New York's Times' timeline of Homeland Security's killing of Alex Pretti. It shows clearly what actually happened and makes it abundantly clear that the Trump regime is lying to cover up a murder.
Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded (Gift Article)
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.
