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."

Was Mike Johnson and House Republican leadership trying to double participation in No Kings on Saturday or did they just stumble and bumble their way into doing that?

There is no conceivable argument that these ships, even if we assume they were carrying narcotics, could not be dealt with in some other way. I think we can just drop the caveats and say: This is mass murder.

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 21h

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

@timemagazine.bsky.social Are you brain dead? #Trump met with Netanyahu at Mar A Largo before the election not to broker Biden deal till after the election. Which BTW is what #Reagan did with Iran telling them to keep our people till after the election. And BTW Trump used Biden's deal.

So FU.

Remember how MAGA told us Javier Milei would fix Argentina's economy with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.

Adelita Grijalva won her Congressional race fair and square THREE WEEKS ago.

Mike Johnson’s refusal to seat her is an absolute disgrace.

Seat her now. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Who is Adelita Grijalva and why hasn't she been sworn in to Congress yet?

Democrats are ramping up the pressure on House Speaker Mike Johnson to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat who won a special election last month to succeed her late father.

Sí a la Propuesta 50

La elección es el 4 de noviembre

Dígale a sus amigos que voten sí para evitar que Trump manipule las eleccíones.

Si usted está en contra las redadas violentas de Trump, de ejército invadiendo nuestras ciudades, y de los precios altísimos causados por los aranceles ilegales de Trump, Vote Sí a la Propuesta 50 para recuperar el poder para nuestras comunidades.

Casi todos los estados controlados por republicanos están dibujando mapas ilegales para quitarle el poder a las comunidades minoritarias.

Están tomando el control para convertir a nuestro país en un régimen autoratario de un solo partido político.

Vote Sí a la Propuesta 50 para tener mapas justos y temporales decididos por los votantes.

Defienda la democracia. Vote Sí por mapas justos decididos por los votantes.
