A Gratis, Ohio police chief drove an hour to Cincinnati last week, visited 3 public schools, and claimed ICE authority to do "wellness checks." Gratis has a 287(g) agreement. Hamilton County does not. This is what 287(g) drift looks like.

I think you mean "Oh no! ANYWAAAAAAY...."

Cautiously hopeful.

ICE detained the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army Sgt. First Class after she showed up for an immigration appointment in 📍 El Paso—then still threatened removal despite legal protections.

Her husband (27 years active duty) said it plainly: ICE is out of control.

I saw this video live at No Kings in St. Paul and sobbed all the way through. It's been.... so much. There's no preview showing, but it's the video narrated by Samuel L Jackson about the ICE invasion, and our response. drive.google.com/file…

Michigan men (and women) agree.

NEW: Swedish intelligence assessments are consistent with ISW’s longstanding assessments about the significant challenges the Russian economy is facing and the Kremlin’s efforts to conceal these issues to falsely present Russia as able to sustain its war indefinitely. 🧵(1/3) isw.pub/UkrWar042026

This is just one example of how the US can learn from Ukraine.

KALLAS: Russia keeps attacking other countries. How many frozen conflicts surround Russia? In the last 100 years, Russia attacked at least 19 countries, some of them multiple times. None of these countries ever attacked Russia.

Aaaaaand, there it is.

Since launching the full-scale war against Ukraine, russia has killed at least 650 Ukrainian children.

According to the UN, more than 3,200 Ukrainian children have been killed or injured since the invasion began in 2022. These figures include only verified cases.

As ICE detention hit record highs this year, states started asking an urgent question: what happens to the children of detained parents? Several states are now rewriting custody laws in response. A thread.

Good. Keep going.

I ... really didn't think that would happen!

Russia slams Kyiv, Dnipro in mass missile attack overnight The attack has killed at least two people, including a child, in Kyiv, and one victim in Dnipro. Over 20 others have been injured.

⚡️Update: At least 3 dead, nearly 30 injured in Russian missile attacks against Ukraine.

Russia attacked Ukraine with ballistic missiles overnight on April 16, hitting residential neighborhoods in Kyiv and Dnipro. Children and first responders are among the victims.

The change we want to see in this world.

Articles have started appearing again, featuring expert opinions that the Russian economy has very little time left and that the regime's collapse is rapidly approaching. Let's take a closer look at what is happening with the Russian economy.

Applying total systemic friction on the cartels. On April 13, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Two male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear

Whistleblower says Trump officials thought USAID did 'just abortions,' asked for 'Barney-style' slides before gutting agency, per new book Read an exclusive excerpt from Nicholas Enrich's "Into the Wood Chipper"

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.

'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Whew!

Hillary Clinton this morning on the US-Iran talks that fell apart:

“This is hard, disciplined effort that has to go into diplomacy to reach any results. And I don’t see this administration either wanting to do it or, frankly, being capable of doing it…”

So, Bruce Springsteen will headline our pre-election-day concert. Who else? And should it be in the Twin Cities, DC, or some other potential impactful swing area? OR.... concerts in EVERY state?!?!

MAGA is convulsing on the floor over Orban’s loss, not because they care about Hungary, a place most of them couldn’t find on a map, but because it reminds them their own wannabe authoritarian can be voted out too, and that their movement will end up in the trash bin of history

Participating in democracy today in Saint Paul, MN. Erin Murphy wins best campaign button of all time.

Look at the women at NASA.

They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points.

And they are doing it all with joy.👇

Hungary has chosen Europe.

Europe has always chosen Hungary.

A country reclaims its European path.

The Union grows stronger.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watching the clock for the polls to close in Budapest, as one does.

We’ve gone from “I don’t care if they reopen the Strait” to “we’ll destroy your civilization if you don’t reopen the strait” to “well if THEY don’t reopen the strait then WE are going to blockade it ourselves.”

What an extraordinarily embarrassing moment for this country.
