"Among the first to appear before the judge was Angel, a 13-year-old. He had no attorney. “Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” the judge asked “I don’t know,” Angel said, bursting into tears: “I have no one. I have nothing.” www.cnn.com/2026/09/28/p...

ALERT: “Independent in name only” Kevin Kiley voted with Republicans YET AGAIN to gut California’s clean air protections, make shipping MORE EXPENSIVE, and help Big Oil rake in more record profits. DISGRACEFUL!
I really encourage Democrats to adopt my "Make Stupidity Embarrassing Again" slogan. It addresses the root of so many voters' frustrations.

DHS has claimed that children detained with their parents can be released to a safe family member, but Liam’s mother lives in Austin and is ready to take him, and ICE is still refusing to release him to her. It really feels like they are trying to make an example out of a little kid.
The imbalance between the rich and the poor has reached a breaking point. The first trillionaire has been minted. Yet 20 states still have a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. Something is fundamentally broken here.
He calls himself "Just a Nobody." Please know what he means. Courage does not belong only to those we call heroes. Each of us has the capacity to do what is right. It's a choice, one we can all make. Perhaps that's the most important message he has given us. @defendersofourrepublic.org #DOOR
Three men have died following ICE street operations in the span of a week. Enough is enough. Send a message to Congress and tell them to hold ICE accountable and put an end to the bloodshed.
Stop ICE's Killings
ICE has shot and killed two more people – Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero. This devastating violence is the predictable outcome when ICE is given a near-unlimited budget while surging new agents into our streets. Congress must stop ICE's deadly spree.

"This place does not seem to be designed for humans to be here." Inside Camp East Montana, ICE's largest detention center, people describe the tent complex as abusive, inadequate, and dangerous for human survival. It's past time to shut it down.
Inside ICE’s Largest Detention Center
On a military base in West Texas, where the government has built a sprawling tent complex to hold thousands of immigrants, deprivation and dire conditions are part of the design. Jonathan Blitzer reports.

Trump’s ICE agents have brought fear and terror to our communities. How many people must die for Congress to finally exercise oversight, accountability and fully reform? Stephen Miller must be fired! Today is as good a day as any.
$13 billion from foreign governments and he wants you worried about immigrants.
More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 4mo agoTrump’s family and their various business have gotten about $13 billion in investments from foreign governments, primarily from countries in the Middle East.
Republicans are behaving with such arrogance and supreme confidence that it’s obvious they’re not going to accept midterm election results. That said, I think the anger they’re stoking among voters will cause them to lose so dramatically it won’t matter. A needle is coming for their bubble. Keep on.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 4mo agoNehls on how House GOP will make case for affordability back home: Nehls: What are you talking about? I'm gonna get me lobster tails. Some nice rib eyes. Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford that? Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe they don't work as hard as me.
Trump: I love the inflation, I don't think about Americans’ financial situation at all, affordability is a fake word and a hoax, I don't want to drive housing prices down.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo agoQ: What are your plans for the housing bill? TRUMP: I don't know. I think it's so unimportant when compared to the SAVE America Act. It's very bipartisan. That means the Democrats like it.

That’s the part I want answered too. If they were able to track someone down on vacation over an Instagram post, the public deserves a clear explanation of what information was used and how they got it. Otherwise people are left guessing.
Are we 100% sure the Great American State Fair isn't just amazing piece of live-action political satire? Like are we going to later find out that the Ferris wheel was Sacha Baron Cohen the whole time?
Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 4mo agoTMZ DC with perhaps the most brutal video from Trump's Great American State Fair, showing Dr. Oz on stage bragging to Dean Cain about how big the crowd is, only for the reporter to pan around and show absolutely nobody is there.

Trump purchased up to $5 million in shares of Axon Enterprise just weeks before ICE issued a notice seeking a contract worth up to $220 million for equipment that experts say only Axon is positioned to provide. The White House has said there is “no conflict of interest”. 🙄
Heinrich Himmler: "If we lose the war, the Allies will turn every committee of the occupation into an investigative body. They will go after the Reich leadership, the cabinet, the donors, and friends."
“In all of this you have a choice in what path you take,” Erika Kirk said after the heckler was dragged out. “You can be a woman of the world — as we just saw — or you can be a woman of the word… Have more babies than you can afford.” Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
