The Trump administration has rolled out a campaign across departments that draws on images and ideas borrowed from right-wing and white nationalist circles.
@ElizLanders reports.
Rep. Brendan Boyle on Trump's efforts to undermine the Fed: "The consequences for our economy would be dire. This is what happens in tinpot dictatorships that suddenly see inflation spike to 70% because they so badly devalue their money…Our economy will tank if Trump succeeds."
I don’t think you could overstate how completely Obama broke their minds. The fact that a black man was the most powerful person in the world for 8 years and was popular absolutely destroyed white power mythology and was their apocalypse.
🚨Hours after ICE murdered Renee Good, Border Patrol swarmed an Uber driver demanding ID:
UD: What do you mean if I’m from this country?
BP: You don’t have the same accent as me
UD: You’re going by accents now?
BP: Where were you born?
UD: You guys need psychiatric checkups
The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.
Marco Rubio in 2016: For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.” (2016)
ICE agents detained a U.S. citizen legal observer in Minneapolis, smashing his car window, dragging him out, and placing a knee on his neck, conduct banned under Minnesota law after George Floyd.
🚨 BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis are seen arresting another teenager without verifying his identity first, and admit to it on camera.
In the video, the teenager calmly tells agents he can go inside and get his ID to prove who he is. The agents refuse. Instead, they say they’ll “take pictures at HQ”… and then force him into their SUV anyway.
That is deeply alarming.
Law enforcement is not allowed to detain people first and figure out who they are later without lawful justification.
Detaining someone without verifying identity, without probable cause, and without allowing them to present ID raises serious Fourth Amendment concerns.
You cannot seize a person just to “check” who they are.
This also mirrors what DHS has now openly admitted: that people are being detained first and sorted out later based on suspicion alone.
That means innocent people, minors, and U.S. citizens are being taken into custody without verification, without charges, and without due process.
If the government can forcibly detain someone simply to identify them, that is not law enforcement… that is unlawful detention.
DAMN : ICE grabbed a 17yo Target worker at his job, despite him saying he’s a US citizen. After confirming he was, they dumped him in a Walmart lot 8 min away. Bystanders found him sobbing, bleeding: “They slammed me on the ground.”
We have to stop acting like super rich people are some form of endangered species that can't be taxed for fear they won't invest, or leave or other such nonsense. They've benefited enormously from America and everyone has to pay their fair share for our society to work!
It was my privilege to speak at today’s Alabaster House Leadership Summit, where I joined veterans, faith leaders and some of my colleagues in Congress to discuss how we lead in times of crisis. The threat political violence poses to our democracy doesn’t follow party lines — when chaos threatens to divide us, we must remember that only through unity can we come back stronger.
Our country was built on common ground: stewardship and service to one another. When we protect that foundation, we protect each other — and every American is better for it.
The murder of Iryna Zarutska is utterly horrific. Our system failed by allowing this evil killer to be free to commit this brutal murder and the passengers on the train should have done something. Senseless and evil violence.
