The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't.

They won't only be for brown and Black people.

The targets will keep expanding. It will not end.

The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela.

Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it.

NEW: If one phrase should be retired from Trump analysis, it’s that they have “said the quiet part out loud.”

In today’s politics, there’s no quiet part.

The president is making his desire to steal the 2026 elections loud and clear, and it’s due time we listen, Marc Elias writes.

In Donald Trump’s politics, there is no quiet part. Everything is intended to be said aloud for everyone to hear.

Today, I remember the tragedy of the Parkland school shooting. As an infantryman and combat veteran accustomed to handguns and rifles––and as a licensed gun owner with a concealed carry permit––I am committed to gun safety. We must do more to keep our children safe & end the scourge of gun violence.

Worth watching the full 4-minute video. It’s a balm after all the horrific videos of government terror we’ve seen in the last months.
Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies. 
 
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

Yeah, it's disgusting and unconscionable that Trump tried to indict six Democrats in Congress for making a video that reminds service members to not follow illegal orders.

May I make a suggestion? Stop voting to confirm his political and judicial nominees. Demand he resign.

I suspect there are a lot of House Democrats in their 70s or 80s who think they're going to coast back into a comfortable leadership position by keeping their head down and riding the blue wave, but they're going to have to navigate these kinds of challenges first and most are not ready at all.

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past.

It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.
BREAKING: A 5th Circuit panel has backed ICE's mass detention policy, a decision that clears the way for the administration to lock up people who are in immigration proceedings

It's a 2-1 ruling

In 2024, Trump stated that only himself and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account.

This contradicts Karoline Leavitt’s implication that some random, unnamed low-level staffer was to blame for posting the now-deleted racist Obama ape video.
