I am overwhelmed & exhausted by the amount of press we've gotten over this but also determined to continue speaking loudly against Trump's reign of cruelty & retribution. #AbolishICE

POLICE CHIEF: “If it’s happening to our officers, it pains me to think how many of our community members are falling victim to this every day.”

ICE is even racially profiling off-duty Black & Brown cops— including pulling guns on one and knocking her phone out of her hand.

I don't expect this from Newsmax, but it would be nice if a journalist asked a followup question: "Ppl in the GOP have been claiming this for many years, but have never actually produced proof of protestors being paid. So why do you keep lying about this?"
Trump: "I see people screaming 'Shame! Shame!' This is not people that are like, living in Minnesota. These are professional paid people. They are like actors."

Just a really bad night in Utah, starting with Chris Finch. He has to recognize when his team doesn't have it and change it up sooner than he does on these types of nights.

McDaniels got lit up by George. Randle had 2 rebounds. Conley isn't bringing much to the table. Long plane ride home.

World leaders are trying to do diplomacy. Trump is screenshotting and posting private messages from heads of state like it’s a gossip session.

If you want to see the “mainstreaming of hate” in 2026, look at the videos of Nick Fuentes and Andrew Tate partying to “Heil Hitler” in Miami this past weekend. This isn’t fringe. It’s the cultural vanguard of the MAGA machine. I break down how the pipeline to extremism was built in my latest piece.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

The Trump administration sent their MLK proclamation to the press at 8:15 PM EST.

This was not simply an afterthought. They were shamed into doing something every other president has done for the last 40 years.
