Justice for Dr. Linda Davis. ICE must be held accountable for the deadly chain of events and the cruel aftermath.

Her memory lives on in every life she touched.

Moskowitz: By the president’s own metrics, what accomplishments does Noem have?

β€’ She’s holding up 200 miles of border wall.
β€’ She’s deported fewer people than Obama.
β€’ She’s not helping any of these red-state governors with their disasters.

Why hasn’t he fired her?

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?

You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice β€” not with their perpetrators.

So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

Multiply her testimony by the thousands who have similar experiences. We need to hear from them all.

Yay, Virginia … and we move forward. Vote YES on April 21 to redistrict. It’s up to we the people. Fight fire with fire … Trump started this ball rolling in Texas.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is aboutβ€”we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

How Jeff Bezos Brought Down the Washington Post The Amazon founder bought the paper to save it. Instead, with a mass layoff, he’s forced it into severe decline.

β€œThis is a case study in near-instant, self-inflicted brand destruction.”

I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Funny how the right is outraged at Fanone flipping off a congressman just days after celebrating a president flipping off a working American .

DHS ICE memo 1-21-26

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

In my fifty years in politics, I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this before.

I haven't always agreed with Jerome Powell, but what Donald Trump is doing is out of the dictator’s playbook.

Kudos to Powell for speaking out.

Kristi Noem rushed out β€œself-defense” before the facts were even cold. That’s not leadership. That’s half-assed, sloppy attempt at damage control.

When the excuse...comes faster than the investigation...you already know the truth scares them...and they're trying to blow smoke up your arse.
