A nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the enforcement surge in Minnesota.
Members of Congress are gaining access to ICE facilities and surprise, surprise, the conditions are inhumane.
Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin:
"This president is out of control, and Americans are paying the price...This week, we will force the Senate to debate and vote on a war powers resolution, and until this president is reined in, we will continue to force these votes."
Thank you!

Look, if I was DJT and I was going to do an "I am Jesus" slop post, I would tell Gronk that under no circumstances should the guy I was healing have an uncanny resemblance to Jeffrey Epstein.
CARDINAL CUPICH: “We’re dehumanizing victims of war by turning the suffering of people and the killing of children and our own soldiers into entertainment. It’s sickening.”
No wonder Trump lashed out at the Pope today.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
13 service members killed
Over 300 with severe injuries
Thousands of civilians dead
Over a million people displaced
Bombs still being dropped
And over $40 billion spent
And for what? It is time for Trump and Hegseth to go. ⬇️

While passing by the far side of the moon, the Artemis II crew saw parts of the moon that were never observed with human eyes before. Here's what they saw. nyti.ms/3Qp9Cak
Not so long ago this kind of scene would have been unthinkable in the US.
Todd Lyons was ICE "Acting Director" when he issued the secret May 2025 memo blessing home searches without a judicial warrant. Search victims now say his appointment violated the Fed Vacancies Reform. Act. At some point Lyons' title changed to “Senior Official Performing the Duties of Director.”
Markwayne Mullin floats that his first major move as DHS Secretary might be to massively disrupt international air travel into and out of the United States by pulling customs officers out of cities like New York and Los Angeles, a move that would have international ramifications.
Freedom Flag Story #1: On Tuesday Morning is a response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In this piece, Faith Ringgold transforms the American flag’s red bars into multicolored abstract patterns. These relate to her quilting knowledge and the fabric dying processes of thangka paintings, a Tibetan Buddhist religious artform. Ringgold used quilting and thangka techniques throughout her career to combat “high” painting and sculpture, artforms that previously excluded women and did not represent African-American women. In 2011, Ringgold collaborated with New York students to create The 9/11 Peace Story Quilt, which portrayed the necessity of respect, communication, and understanding between cultures and religions in order to achieve peace.

OH. MY. GOD.
THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.

🔥Hakeem Jeffries torches Trump’s reckless Iran war: No plan, no objective, no exit strategy. Now gas prices are through the roof — over $4/gallon — while the Pentagon has burned through a trillion dollars.

I would just start citing to this cite in all my briefs if I was a counsel fighting the government here

Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
