Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design" "What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

With the news of federal agents shooting and killing another person in Minneapolis, it's important to remember that this kind of violence is by design under President Trump, according to ex-immigration officers.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.

All of the unions in Hollywood should immediately boycott Disney/ABC. They only care about money, so go after that.

So if a group of men -- all of them wearing masks, with no uniforms or badges visible, driving unmarked cars -- approach anyone on the streets of DC, they're just supposed to submit?

West VA sends 300 guardsmen to DC while West Virginia residents live in poverty.

These guardsmen could be helping West VA voters but GOPQ Gov Morrisey sent them to DC for a publicity stunt.

Flip the script. FFS.

Sending troops into US cities against their will.

Strong-arming corporations and extracting gifts in exchange for tariff exemptions.

Calling on state governments to gerrymander in his favor.

Trump is the "big government" nightmare conservatives have always warned us about.

Fascism is here. We are not β€œgetting closer” or β€œin danger of.”

This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.

Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

the thing to take from Cuomoβ€”a politician who was supposedly invulnerable and had control of every aspect of Albanyβ€”having a flailing campaign is that all of these assholes are really paper tigers who only thrive when their opponents are also cowards.

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause.

The removal was blamed on a "coding error."

Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...
