"Wyse and Meyer wrote a letter to the Wall Street Journal editorial page, making these and other points—and arguing that GOP Medicaid cuts would lead to 10,000 premature deaths a year. The Journal declined to run it."

Speaker Mike Johnson wants you to know, "I'm grateful to God for being able to get this Bill done. Our rights did not come from the government; they came from God himself."

On behalf of Democracy loving Americans, I say this to Speaker Mike Johnson: Go F*ck Yourself.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers.

Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street.

They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery.

Make it stop!!!

felt compelled to look up ICE authority for warrantless arrests

if I'm reading this correctly, the circumstances under which ICE can arrest a citizen are basically limited to 'I literally saw you commit a felony and you're about to escape and no one's gonna be able to get a warrant'

this aint that

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.
Whoa! NYC mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Brad Lander seemingly arrested at the NYC immigration court while attending to escort someone attending their hearing.
Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS…

This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?

ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.

How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Singer Nezza was told to sing the national anthem in English at the Dodgers game - she sang it in Spanish anyway. The crowd cheered as she finished “The Star-Spangled Banner” en español 🇺🇸🇨🇴🇩🇴

The Spanish version was commissioned by the US govt in 1945 to foster better relations with Latin America.
