Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

I agree & disagree. Their owner is a right-wing extremist, but I think reporters have always been too cute by half & pretended not to lean either way.

You do? Politico among *worst* actors, treating politics as game, shrugging off clear & present danger & Trump & GOP escape scrutiny, even after J6. (Not coming at you personally at all. I’m so angry at politico. At all media who turned a blind eye to who & what these people
are & always have been.)

You spent decade scrutinizing inconsequential Dem comments & emails & laughing at increasingly hateful, vile & violent rhetoric modeled & continuously amplified by Trump, et al. Perhaps if you’d done real reporting before, we wouldn’t have lost our democracy & be ruled by disgusting fascists.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

We didn't do anything extraordinary here. Sure, I wrote a nice script, and my friend @barubin.bsky.social did a fantastic job overlaying visuals. But what we're saying is pretty obvious.

What I wonder is why *we* have to say these things as opposed to, I don't know, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social?

"Show them you're not afraid. Do it for the country. For the Constitution. For your family. For yourself. Do it for your freedom. While you still can."

This is excellent. Every Dem strategist who thinks there's risk in engaging these debates should watch it for guidance.
