El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.

SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

Twenty-seven thoughts on the Michigan race, and the unofficial end of a brutal primary season. www.offmessage.net/p/27-thought...

The Trump administration has now canceled the contract that provided legal services for unaccompanied immigrant kids. That means thousands of children across the country, including hundreds being held in detention, are losing access to government-provided legal representation. (1/5)

El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.

Mike Rogers wants us divided. But there is so much more that unites us than sets us apart. The power is ours. This land was made for you and me.

Jon Husted looked this mother in the eye, and promised he wouldn't vote to cut her daughter's health care. One week later, that's exactly what he did.

I should clarify slightly that Fadner's letter states he's the owner of Soccer America, not specifically the publisher. But it's the same general point: the title is up for sale, and we are all going to be a lot worse off if it goes under.

Far be it from me to know what kind of buyer might be interested. But I don't think any of us have to think too hard to imagine one coming along that would eventually put it out of business. Here's hoping someone who actually cares about it is able to take over and take it forward.

Breaking soccer media news: Ken Fadner, the publisher of Soccer America for the last 20 years, announces that he is retiring and putting the title up for sale. "I will be entertaining offers for the Soccer America publications, website and trademark," he says in a letter to subscribers.

El-Sayed attacked Rogers as a Trump stooge and accused Republicans of trying to use his faith and full name - Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed - to scare voters. "My name is ​not the reason you can't afford your groceries," he ​said. "You know what is? Their BS policies." www.reuters.com/world/us/pro...

Progressive El-Sayed wins Michigan primary in jolt to Democrats

The race served as a battleground between progressives and moderates over support for Israel, an issue that has played out in primaries nationwide this year.

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Hacked emails show Yahav Lichner, a UN official, repeatedly supplied Israeli diplomats with confidential UN reports and private briefings. He now directs UNICEF’s Washington office.

@abdulelsayed.bsky.social has won his primary election for Senate in Michigan. He went up against record amounts of dark money. He won anyway because he stayed locked in on what Michiganders' actually need: a government that answers to you instead of billionaires.

Rather absurd framing when you consider the results up and down the ballot, and where expectations were before just the last few weeks.

This plane landed in Myanmar about three hours ago. This is the third ICE flight to Myanmar this year. Burmese deportees in 2025 were immediately sent to a torture facility next to the airport, according to Myanmar Now. Weeks later, not all of them had emerged.

This likely ICE flight operated by Journey Aviation has taken off and appears to heading for an Asia removal. In May, this aircraft deported people to Myanmar.

El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

I’m proud to announce today that after a years-long legal fight in federal court, the unfair “County Line” ballot in NJ is finally dead for good. Thanks to all who helped along the way. Power is being returned to the people. But as we celebrate today, the fight to fix NJ politics continues. THREAD

It was so damn depressing to watch every TV writer who was willing and eager to have open, intelligent conversations about their process get hounded off social by a combination of aggressive stans and belligerent wannabes defending the right to be a shithead to creatives
