Stacia! Thank you. I just looked at your profile -- books, cats and tennis. We would get along so well....

Oh, Sarah! Thank you so much.

The big news today is that you can preorder a copy of the paperback edition of HOT AIR today and today only for 25% off at B&N. Because the real news is so awful and as @zoezolbrod.bsky.social wrote on my FB post: "One of my bright spots last year. So good. So diverting. So satisfying."

This is insane.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

Thank you!

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

This is bigotry, pure and simple.

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

I'm sorry. The only appropriate way is respect and awe.

There are people who would like to bring back slavery. This WH tweet is for them.

‘I don’t have words’: 2 more kids from Liam Ramos’ Columbia Heights school taken into ICE custody The children were taken into ICE custody after their mother was detained at a court appointment. School leaders say the mother asked them to bring the kids to the detention center because there were n...

“We had to deliver them to a detention center,” principal Jason Kuhlman said about the second grader and fifth grader.

Legal asylum seeker, no criminal record, working two jobs, dragged out of smashed car and kidnapped by ICE as his US citizen newborn cries in a car seat in the freezing cold in Maine and his wife who barely speaks English pleads for help. WTAF

I will be putting in notice Friday morning with DHS to return to Dilley to check on Liam again and the many other children and families there. Liam did not look well. My staff and I are very concerned about him.

I still don't even know how this is possible.

It's horrifying. It's f--king madness really. Like encouragement to do it again. But for agents to go out again, too, means they feel no remorse for murdering a helpless man that they kicked to the ground. I am disgusted.

This is just so upsetting and disgraceful. Again.

Turns out Congress doesn't want to stop ICE's violent reign of terror.

I am appalled on your behalf and this nation. You have all of my support.

Elon Musk Just Endorsed Blatant White Nationalism And the Silence is Deafening On Thursday morning Elon Musk retweeted (with a ‘100%’ endorsement) a post declaring that: If white men become a minority, we will be slaughtered. Remember, if non-Whites openly hate White men while...

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

Thank you!

The murder of Renee Nicole Good is horrifying. So is this. I would have seen no coverage of chemicals released in a school, chemicals released in a school, if not for this post.

Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations. Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here.” “She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said. Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.
