Rep. Walkinshaw leaving today’s ICE hearing: “All of this comes from Stephen Miller’s sick, twisted, deranged Great Replacement Theory.” He says when Dems have the majority they will subpoena Miller to testify: “If he doesn’t he will end up in prison for contempt.” @pabloreports.bsky.social

Hey, Propaganda Barbie:

We aren’t moving on from people trafficking 10-year-old children and this administration covering it up.

Putin’s Pals Brag that Trump and Tulsi Followed His Orders

The Kremlin is delighted that a slew of current and former intelligence officers were stripped of their security clearance, claiming it as a huge victory for Putin.

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner on Monday issued an initial, public report on the death of Alex Pretti — saying he died from multiple gunshot wounds and classifying his death as a homicide.

This judicial order contains an excellent description of the Trump administration in general: “the perfidious lust for unbridled power” and “the imposition of cruelty.”

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

4) And they STILL haven’t released the Epstein files.
Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:

1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens

2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar

3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested.

Thanks to this couple for posting this.
BTW, I think Miranda was a person who sued or won his case against whoever arrested him because they did not tell him his rights. I’d like to see a number of people sue ICE, and certainly among those people Alex Pretti’s parents.
A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Homeland Security sent a memo to Congress to explain the moments leading to Alex Pretti's death.

In it they state people were told to get off the road. When they didn't they were sprayed with chemicals.

How does ICE have the authority to control the public right-of-way? They are not the police.
