This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

This is bad!

Wholesale prices just spiked way above expectations. PPI up 0.5% in one month, core PPI up 0.7% when experts expected 0.3%.

Translation: costs that hit companies are climbing fast, and they do not magically disappear. They get passed straight to you and me.

This is a very powerful video from comedian Josh Johnson. Not just because what he says that's meaningful. But because it shows an emerging trend that high profile people have finally started speaking up, despite concerns it might alienate their followers.

It is time to choose sides.

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator.

It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Remember, and prevent.
On January 27, 1945 the German Nazi concentration and extermination Auschwitz-Birkenau camp was liberated. Today we commemorate the 74th anniversary of this event.

The Senate should pass all 5 bills to fund cancer research, child care, and more THIS WEEK. Senate Democrats are ready to do just that.

Meanwhile, we need to keep negotiating DHS funding to bring sanity and due process to our immigration enforcement.

No Republican shutdown.

Ok, Markey has pulled ahead of Moulton for my vote. First one to surprise inspect the concentration camp in Burlington will have my backing.
My MA senator @edmarkey.bsky.social proclaiming the power is there to end ICE’s terror on our US cities and residents. Call your senators now! Leave a message and tell them to vote NO on funding ICE.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

NEW: Another declaration you have to read! Alex Pretti was shot near the apartment of a doctor, who saw the shooting occur and rushed to provide emergency aid as he lay dying on the street.

They describe what they saw: "The victim had at least three bullet holes in his back."
