TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Half of Americans now say 'Abolish ICE.' It's about time. | Opinion For the first time ever in YouGov polling, 50% of Americans now strongly or somewhat support abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

So it turns out Americans don’t love widespread cruelty.

50% of voters have now embraced "Abolish ICE," including a surprising 25% of Republicans. Keep pushing. All gas, no brakes.

This is grotesque, anti-science, and horribly discriminatory gaslighting. We need to come to terms with the fact that the US government is *actively harming people* with pure propaganda driven by an extremist ideology that has been thoroughly debunked by science. πŸ§ͺ

this is a good reminder that the anti-trans thing is a billionaire AstroTurf campaign and not an authentic expression of american values. We're not Britain. the median voter perspective is "why would i care what those transgenders are doing, please give me healthcare"

I have an uncommon name. A silly little thing that I do is that whenever I get a google alert for my name, but it's someone with the same name getting married, I buy something off the registry and say Congratulations Emily Greenhalgh (bride) from Emily Greenhalgh (author).

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it
