One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

Trump's BLS pick EJ Antoni has said that Social Security, America's greatest anti-poverty program, is a "Ponzi scheme" that needs to be sunset.
Reminder that BLS data is what determines annual cost-of-living adjustments for Social Security benefits.
This is a five-alarm fire.

I covered the Obama WH. Tapper, Chuck Todd and lots of other big names were in the briefing room then. I can assure you they would have been on it nonstop had Obama launched a program for kids alongside a registered sex offender.

Looking for an honest answer re Trump and tariffs:
1) he literally does not understand how tariffs work (why?)
2) it is a form of leverage and that basic fact hijacks his brain
3) he understands tariffs and wants to destroy our economy and global standing
For real someone help me understand

This is infuriating. At a time where thousands of government employees are being laid off, this fascist regime is offering $50,000 signing bonuses and student loan forgiveness (you know, the thing the conservatives killed at the Supreme Court for the rest of us) to hire 10,000 more slave catchers.
