If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Ps: Welcome back.

JUST IN: A federal judge in San Francisco has HALTED Trump’s plan to lay off thousands of federal workers during his shutdown, calling it “unlawful” and “politically motivated.” Judge Illston said Trump acted as if “the laws don’t apply to them anymore.”

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Ticketing a lawful permanent resident for not carrying their papers is unnecessary and doesn't make our cities safer.

We will continue to push back against the Trump administration's cruel attempts to stoke fear in immigrant communities.

ICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: ‘It’s not fair…I’m a resident’

Under federal law, registered foreign nationals must carry proof of registration with them at all times. But prior to a second Trump administration, it was rarely enforced.
