Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

CNN montage of George Santos' lies. This is the guy that Trump thought should have his sentence commuted.

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers.

It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror

The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

This week:

-Three more universities rejected Trump's extortion compact
-Over a dozen airports refused to play Kristi Noem's propaganda video
-30+ press outlets refused to comply with Pete Hegseth's new restrictions

The only way to rebuke Trump's authoritarianism is solidarity.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Barely into this debate and Mamdani's already had this mic-drop:

"Why would NYers turn back to the governor who sent seniors to their death in nursing homes? What I don't have an experience, I make up for an integrity. And what you don’t have in integrity, you can never make up for in experience.”

"For Democrats to win, they need to persuade voters, but they also need to keep their own voters energized and ready to fight. That’s what Saturday is about."

But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

Trump is using this government shutdown as an excuse to continue firing workers from the Centers for Disease Control and other critical government agencies.

Let’s be clear: He doesn’t have to fire these people, but he’s doing it anyway — and it makes all of us less safe.
