Video: Opinion | The Case for More Immigrants
The crackdown on immigrants is often sold as a benefit to citizens, but the columnist Jamelle Bouie argues it’s an economic self-injury and a moral failure.

President Trump, his two eldest sons and the Trump family business sued the IRS and the Treasury Department over the leak of their tax information to news organizations during the first Trump administration.
Trump sues IRS and Treasury for $10 billion over leaked tax records
The case means Trump has again filed a claim for a large amount of money against the government he oversees, putting him on both sides of the potential negotiating table.

The Trump regime is creating a surveillance state and using it to crush our liberty. Get active now, while you can.
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Two days after the Trump regime released a doctored photo of a Minnesota protester to make it look like she was crying when she wasn't, they want us to believe their explanation for shooting a man to death on a Minneapolis street.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

We're not allowed to see the faces of the taxpayer-funded goon squad who is committing crimes in the streets, but the goon squad is allowed to record the faces of taxpayers who have committed no crimes.
“We have a nice little database, & now you’re considered domestic terrorists” says an ICE agent after photographing a civilian who was videotaping them. Posted today by Brian Allen on X. h/t @allenanalysis.bsky.social

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:
—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer

Trump is calling for a "new" census that excludes people in the U.S. without legal status. The 14th Amendment requires the "whole number of persons in each state" in a key set of census results.

No matter where someone was born, the United States should never tolerate inhumane treatment. Yet right now, detainees in ICE custody are facing conditions that are simply unacceptable in any country that claims to uphold human rights, let alone one that prides itself on freedom and the rule of law.
