Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.
Speaker Pro Tempore: You are to direct your comments to the chair. Jeffries: You know what's interesting? Every time I come on this floor, I can use sharp language, he can use sharp language, you choose to admonish me. I don't work for you sir. I work for the American people.
Their family ties are fake news They are equally as likely to hate their family members as to love any of them. The reason they aren't "corrupted by money," and maybe you mean to say that I am, is because they don't know how to earn much. They rely on tech that smarter people make and use.
So if the next Attorney General wants to deport Marco Rubio he only has to write a letter?
I just figured out why Lutnick is indifferent to the stock market and the economy crashing.He and Cantor are long bonds.He profits when our economy implodes. It’s a bad idea to pick a Secretary of Commerce whose firm is levered long fixed income. It’s an irreconcilable… (@BillAckman) April 7, 2025
BREAKING: Pope Francis unleashes a historic attack on the Trump administration over its cruel treatment of migrants — and takes specific aim at remarks made by J.D. Vance, a Catholic convert. So-called Christians in MAGA movement are melting down over this...
Don’t blame me, I voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, Joe Biden in 2020 and Kamala Harris in 2024 because I knew the country and democracy would be obliterated otherwise.
Nancy stepped aside when her time came. Joe stepped aside but made the decision too late in the game. But it seems that Schumer is stubbornly going to hang on no matter what, and what the base wants doesn’t seem to matter a whole lot.
Tupilak Travel, a tourism company in Greenland, has rescinded its invitation for Usha Vance to visit after JD Vance announced he was tagging along. "We have now informed the consulate that we do not want her visit, as we cannot accept the underlying agenda and will not be part of the press show."
Why are we letting the Trump administration make us debate whether the attack info was classified, or war plans? If an enemy or a journalist had obtained it wrongfully & made it public, is there any doubt in your mind how the Trump government would’ve treated them? Let’s not play their game.
If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
reminder: most americans have no idea any of this stuff is going on. the signal leaks. the destruction of dept of education, social security. they have no idea. they are trying to live life and this information isnt getting to them. take it upon yourself to spread the data.

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.
This happened *tonight*, long after the texting debacle came to light. As Matt notes further below, Phelan has no military experience.

So much good work on the ground this week! Here's the new Indivisible Cumberland County ME holding a town hall today with 400-500 people for Susan Collins - who of course did not show. "Where's Susan?!?" Your GOP Senators and Reps can hide from you, but they can't hide from accountability.
“An Israeli official… told The Washington Post that the ‘return to fighting in Gaza was fully coordinated with Washington.’”
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2y agoIsrael’s military launched a large-scale bombing campaign on the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, breaking the fragile ceasefire with Hamas that has been in place since late January. At least 404 people have been killed, with 562 injured, Gaza’s Health Ministry said.
Democrats can’t keep folding, thinking voters will reward their compliance. They won’t. It’s up to us to replace them with fighters. Republicans fight dirty and Schumer’s just watching. Should @schumer.senate.gov step down as Leader? Absolutely!
Don't look away from this.
Aura Bogado@aurabogado.bsky.social · 2y agoA US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...
My family now has an American invasion plan. Getting supplies ready for when Trump invades Canada. After my kids are safe, I will drag my old disabled ass to the front line and do anything for our sovereignty...even dying. My family won't be put on a plane or a train to a foreign concentration camp.
The judge should issue a bench arrest warrant for everyone involved in disobeying the order. That's the only way this ends!
