Just so everyone's clear, if there was ANY photographic or video evidence of this happening, Fox News would be running it on a loop 24/7.

DHS’s cruel immigration tactics are hurting children.

After a one-year-old was pepper-sprayed, I asked CBP a simple question: Was anyone held accountable?

They couldn’t answer.

Assistant State Attorney Lanna Belohlavek asked a 14-year-old Jeffrey Epstein victim:

“You are aware that you committed a crime?”

The child replied:

“Now I am. I didn’t know it was a crime when I was doing it.”

That’s from the unsealed grand jury transcript.

Trump is letting companies add poisons to our foods because it's profitable for the companies who donate money to him.

This is what Republicans mean when they say "deregulation."

NEW: As acting attorney general and deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche has repeatedly elevated the president’s interests over the DOJ’s and the American people’s.

Every senator should reject his nomination. We just sent them a letter saying so. https://t.co/fewZtaGDnc

Possible corruption and cheating aside, hilarious that the Trump administration were allegedly pushing hard to reinstate a player who is a literal birthright citizen. His pregnant mother gave birth to him on a visit because the airline wouldn’t let her board her return flight.

This is what cowardice looks like.

Hundreds of masked extremists marched through our nation's capital on America's 250th birthday, hiding their faces while claiming to "reclaim America."

But the image everyone will remember isn't them.

It's the young woman sitting quietly on the Metro, refusing to surrender her dignity while surrounded by hate.

History is watching.

CLARKSVILLE: “The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has launched a full investigation into the death of Darius Chappell, a 44-year-old man who died four days after being bitten by a Clarksville Police Department K-9 during an arrest…”

🚨 Republican Mayor Gary Clark r*ped multiple girls, one as young as 4 years old, for half a decade.

He was given a sweetheart deal by Republican prosecutors, being released after just 6 months in jail.

The astounding level of racism he's casually bragging about will get little attention. It should get lots of attention.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

DOJ is ignoring a court order. The Judge should act swiftly here, since there is simply no excuse. As we’ve said before, a party that doesn’t like an order can appeal it. But they can’t just ignore it. https://t.co/BKUIvE2ncu

Last year you said that Patriot Front was a federal psy-op run by the FBI and that it would go away as soon as Kash took over.

Now that Kash HAS taken over but Patriot Front is still here you have to come up with dumb BS like this.

🚨BREAKING: An ICE agent was just caught on video violently shoving a TEENAGER to the ground, in a Chicago suburb.

But it gets worse…

In Joliet, IL, ICE agents jumped out of their cars, racially profiled a man, began handcuffing him, and forced him into an unmarked vehicle that had its license plate covered.

And they did all of this before even confirming who he was.

As U.S. citizens began recording the incident, ICE agents started forcing them farther back, even though they were not interfering with the arrest.

One of the agents looked at a teenager, who was just standing there and filming, and said, “Step back a little bit.”

The teenager wasn’t interfering. In fact, a woman was standing even closer.

And then, without warning, the ICE agent violently shoved the teenager to the ground.

Moments later, another ICE agent pulled out a taser and threatened the legal observers, despite them remaining away from the vehicle, and not interfering.

And after all of that, about 20 minutes later…

ICE released the man they had kidnapped because they realized he was not undocumented.

Think about how insane that is…

A man was detained, handcuffed, and taken away before ICE even confirmed they had the right person.

That’s exactly why the Fourth Amendment exists… to protect people from unreasonable seizures by the government.

And then there is the issue of an ICE agent shoving a teenager to the ground…

Using significant physical force against someone, especially a teenager, who is not posing an immediate threat, not resisting, and not interfering… is excessive force.

Federal agents do not get a free pass to assault teenagers because they are standing nearby.

The First Amendment protects the right to record law enforcement in public, and government officials cannot use intimidation, or force, to silence people who are lawfully documenting their actions.

This wasn’t just about one man being kidnapped…. It was about everyone standing there.

A teenager was thrown to the ground.

Legal observers were threatened.

U.S. citizens exercising their constitutional rights were intimidated.

And an innocent man lost 20 minutes of his freedom because ICE believes they are allowed to kidnap anyone they want.

So, why are these ICE agents not being held accountable?

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

WEAK.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

The open corruption is just staggering

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Corruption in plain sight.

Judge Emmet Sullivan orders more arguments in @KatiePhang lawsuit, which seeks release of more Epstein Files

Justice Dept defied Sullivan's order to release more files by July 2

So Sullivan says Phang can make additional filing and he orders Justice Dept to respond by July 20

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Prominent Republican senators and politicians appear on this guy’s show. Shouldn’t they be asked whether they agree with Benny?
