If you're wondering why the Senate is in session at midnight tonight, it's because Republicans are trying to jam through at least $70 billion for ICE with no accountability.
$70 billion for ICE. $0 to help families. $0 to help lower costs.
What a disgrace. I'm voting NO.
Here's a link to the actual report. Air pollution is very bad for our health, and California still has a big problem with it. Especially with Trump taking away our right to regulate it.

American Lung Association's pollution report is out.
The Trump admin has gleefully taken an ax to climate regulationsâincluding air pollution standardsâwhile aggressively promoting oil, gas, and coal, threatening decades of progress toward cleaner air and water.

The new FBI
I really want a senator, rather than explaining the math, to just say "We all know what's going on here, Mr. Secretary. Trump said a moronic thing and now everyone in the administration, including you, has to pretend it's real. You know it isn't real. But you can't say that because you're a coward."
HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani.
Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.
They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.
Now itâs âroundtablesâ: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.
You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.
An Invention of Collective Nouns  A reckoning of spreadsheets. A distraction of smartphones. A prattle of podcasts. A mispronunciation of scones.  A clique of photographers. A heard of precedents. An enjambment of poets. A grope of presidents.  A pile of haemorrhoids. A bunion of personal trainers. A bout of estimations. A condescension of mansplainers.  A stroke of geniuses. A spot of adolescents. An embarrassment of Richards. A collection correction of pedants. Brian Bilston
Todayâs poem is called âAn Invention of Collective Nounsâ.
BREAKING: In a huge win, Virginians voted âYesâ on Democratsâ redistricting plan aimed at countering GOP gerrymanders, according to AP. Full story to come.
By going after the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Trump administration has dramatically escalated its attack on civil rights organizations and its defense of white supremacists.
These intimidation tactics won't succeed.
Trump is practically begging for someone to save him from this mess he's made.
EXCLUSIVE: The SPLC indictment, the Klan history behind it, and the ignominy of Todd Blanche.
Another dark day for DOJ.
Tonight, at Law Dork:
Elon Musk and Peter Thiel routinely kick their critics off the X platform. Which is an excellent reason not to use it. Ever.
Virginiaâs new map will give Democrats the chance to flip four seats currently held by Republicans. That could put Dems slightly ahead in the national mid-decade gerrymandering warsâa result few thought possible when Trump picked the fight by pushing Texas Republicans to redraw their map last year.
The verdict of a prominent conservative website and magazine:
"A 79-year-old man who has long dealt in chaos is now being consumed by that chaos. His episodes are becoming more frequent, his good days further apart. What he has lost is not a sense of decency or decorumâhe never had those...
Trump thought he could steal the midterms by making MAGA minions rig the House maps.
They thought blue states would sit back and do nothing.
We proved them wrong. Thank you to VA Indivisibles and organizers across the commonwealth for this huge win and your commitment to protecting our democracy.
This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.
Letter: We should call ICE's for-profit detention centers what they really are: Concentration camps.
Donald Trump and Republicans have tried to rig the 2026 midterms. Today in Virginia, voters sent them a clear message: The power is with the people.
You can have no rage, Republicans, when you lit the fuse.
You just got outplayed
Exactly the plan Trump has for America.
Trump admires the autocratic brute Modi for a reason, and it is the same reason Elon Musk does: none of the three men have any identifiable principles.
Steve Witkoff has visited Moscow seven times yet never traveled to Kyiv. For some reason, the Trump administration isn't playing its cards against Vladimir Putin.
If you haven't read this yet, I recommend it. A lot to think about.
My statement on MAGAâs bigoted Anti-Muslim Caucus:
We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasnât closed until Trumpâs pointless war of choice closed it.
Heâs just burning your tax money.
The difference between Republican gerrymandering and Democrat gerrymandering is Democrats let the voters decide and Republicans decide for the voters.
"Whaaaaaa whaaaaaa whaaaaa! They did what *we* did. Only better. NOT FAIR!!!"
