We all just saw about six different angles of ICE murdering a guy who himself was filming them, but sure, you think body cameras will make all the difference.
How stupid do they think we are?

Republicans have blocked every proposal to rein in ICE, but they're happy to let Democrats spend your tax money to equip ICE mercenaries with body cameras. Why? Because they know body cams won't restrain ICE any more than they do cops:

Don't try to reform ICE. Abolish them.

As a general rule of thumb for policymakers, waging both internal and external wars simultaneously is not a good idea.

Is it a good idea to host a major event like the FIFA World Cup in a country whose secret state police hunt down innocent people, lock them in cages, or execute them in the street?

Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold women and girls for sex without wealthy men buying women and girls for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

If you are kidnapping your citizens with no due process to take away their freedom and trying to silence media, law firms, and universities for exercising free speech, you don't get to call yourself "Leader of the Free World."

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts:
1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it.
Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

Don’t just call the protests violent. Who sparked the violence? What is the appropriate law enforcement response in a nation allegedly built on a fundamental right to protest? Contrast imagery and dialogue around Jan. 6 and what we’re seeing now. Their job is narrative. Ours is truth.

What separates journalism from stenography is independent reporting, verification and context. Trump calls in the National Guard for LA — note he did not do so for the insurrection. He says no one will spit on law enforcement, note he pardoned those who physically assaulted law enforcement Jan 6.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Never in the history of taxes and or tax cuts has there been a tax cut that has paid for itself. And yet the GOP keeps saying it and people keep believing it.
New analysis from the Joint Committee on Taxation (CBO, but for taxes) on whether the tax parts of the GOP bill pay for themselves.
No shit, JCT says absolutely not.
Under a conventional score, the tax parts cost $3.8 trillion. When you include the macrodynamic impact, they cost.... $3.7 trillion.
