BREAKING

Former ICE agent:

On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

Article about HHS Secretary Tom Price resigning because of his private jet travel

Article about HHS Secretary Tom Price resigning because of his private jet travel

Unease about the abuse of the jet is not new. For example, a former FBI leader, William Sessions, was fired by President Clinton when it was adjudged he had used the jet for personal use. And yet: Patel has used the jet for recreational purposes, including golfing outings in Scotland, hunting trips to (I’m not making this up) Boondoggle Ranch in Texas, or heading to the Olympics in Italy to watch ice hockey. His multiple trips to Nashville, where his girlfriend resides, has drawn the most coverage.

I'm not claiming the first Trump administration was a model of ethical behavior, but there is just a deep sense in the second term that the guardrails are gone, the boss doesn't care, and its grab-whatever-you-can time

Is this making our communities safer? DHS agents are following children home from school & terrorizing them at bus stops.

This is the kind of impunity Republicans want to write another $10 billion check for.

Shame on them. Not another dime!

This 10 year old boy was chased down by ICE in South Jersey. I am beyond outraged, both as an American and as a father to two boys.

Our system is broken. The first step to fix it is for ICE to leave our state.

This is progress, but we are not letting up.

Demand your Senators vote no on a bill that would keep funding ICE while doing nothing to keep us safe from these out of control federal agents. Take action at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks-

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

Hey @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and I are both Carleton grads and this fucking rocks - love to see a college protect its students from the goons instead of cutting deals with the regime.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social: Is ICE salvageable?

@robertgarcia.bsky.social: No. We have to abolish ICE. No question.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social: Should ICE continue to exist in any form?

@rokhanna.bsky.social: No. And that should be the answer across the Democratic Party.

It is a rogue agency killing American citizens. Tear it down.

Trump’s β€˜American Dominance’ May Leave Us With Nothing The president’s moves in Venezuela foretell a new global system.

β€œFar from making us more powerful, the pursuit of American dominance will make us weaker, eventually leaving us with no sphere, and no influence, at all,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues:

Trump and Vance promised to lower costs, especially food costs. They failed.

We must do better for the American people.
