Chaos at 105th Street and Avenue N. A couple bricks and possibly an egg got thrown at a squad of federal agents who were standing in the intersection. Two cars — a white SUV and a red one — got trucked out after a chase and a crash, per neighbors. At least three detained from this confrontation.

As I've noted, central to Stephen Miller's propaganda is the claim that the Chicago complex targeted by ICE was "filled" with Tren de Aragua "terrorists."

Now @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social reports that the number of TdA members netted in that raid is down to *one.*

Pierre Poilievre is a DEI hire.
His position sure as hell isn’t based on merit.

Meiselas: Would you be willing to confirm that you would only be serving one term if you were to be elected?

Mills: I would only serve one term. That’s a realistic expectation, and it’s one I would certainly agree with.

Sen. Padilla's Prop 50 ad is very effective. They used the footage of him being shoved to the ground and cuffed. I swear, my blood pressure goes through the roof each time I see it.

Thank you, @padilla.senate.gov, for this ad. #Yeson50

The President’s authorities under Article II are limited to responding to an armed attack/the threat of one and do not apply here.

These continued strikes — 27 killed to date — risk getting the U.S. into a full fledged war.

Pres. Obama to Marc Maron: "If you're a business, you say, 'You know what? We think it's important … to hire people from different backgrounds. And we're not going to be bullied into saying that we can only hire people or promote people based on some criteria that's been cooked up by Steve Miller.'"
