An ICE agent scanned the wrong license plate, chased the wrong man, and ended up shooting Julio Sosa-Celis through his own front door. DHS’s first story: Sosa-Celis attacked agents with a broom and snow shovel. City surveillance video proved that was false — the whole struggle lasted about 12 seconds. DHS admitted its agents gave “untruthful” sworn testimony. Charges against Sosa-Celis were dropped with prejudice.
The agent, Christian Castro, is now charged with 4 counts of assault + falsely reporting a crime. He fled to Texas.
Greg Abbott is refusing to extradite him. Minnesota’s AG just sued Abbott to force it.
A Republican governor is actively shielding a federal agent from facing trial for shooting an innocent man and lying about it under oath.

He hired professional traders to use inside information to make money for him on the stock market while he uses every lever in the federal toolkit to pump up equity prices.
Staggering organized crime.
Why does the economy feel so much worse than the inflation rate suggests?
In the latest Professor Is In, I follow up on the $20 burrito debate and dig into why Americans feel increasingly ripped off—even as inflation has cooled.

🔥@ossoff: “There’s something uniquely despicable about lying 🇺🇸 into war… and while sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, Trump sleeps through meetings, golfs, trades stocks… he wants to build his ballroom & fly with Natalie 👀 on their apparently defenseless flying palace.”
Marc Elias explains why the GOP is going after nursing home voters: older Americans have gotten more likely to vote Democratic — and right on cue, the party turned on them.

Last year, Jeff Bezos sailed on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding in Venice to give his wife a $5 million ring while his real tax rate was less than 1%.

Ossoff: On day 9 of the war, the incompetent Pete Hegseth guaranteed Iranian surrender. On day 14, he claimed Iran's military had been destroyed On day 40, he said every single objective had been achieved. That was 4 months ago. They've lied nonstop about this war like they lie about everything, and they know they're lying, but they lie and they keep lying anyway because in this White House they view deceit as a virtue.
The rise of Trump and American fascism could never have taken root without a mass base of people who are simultaneously stupid enough to believe the lies, hateful enough to cheer the cruelty, and ignorant enough to never notice the pattern. Add the billionaire class's pure transactional greed, and the result is not an accident — it is the deliberate Nazification of America, cheered on by the very people it will eventually discard.

This is outrageous. As working families struggle, the Trump White House drops $22 million on 250 brand-new Escalades—all while the reckless war on Iran is already hitting the average American household with an extra $1,200 in costs.

The new school year is almost here. A hungry child cannot really concentrate on learning.
We have to feed our children so our future is not under educated.
Holy shit. Trump’s entire head of hair nearly walked off his head with the wind.
