What if someone comes and abducts your family members?

It could happen.

There are untrained & unidentified thugs abducting, threatening & brutalizing immigrants as well as US citizens.

Couldn't anyone pretend to be an ice agent & kidnap people.

Yes! (See thread🧡)

Call Congress at 202-224-3121!

Has Trump misunderstood Iran’s IRGC and the Basij forces? US president called for IRGC members to lay down their arms or face 'certain death'. Here's how he misunderstands IRGC.

The immense ignorance of tRvmp and his sycophantic Kakistocracy is on full display here! They have launched a war that cannot be won, has sent the entire Middle East into turmoil and, like all the other misguided U.S. military interventions in the region, will have dire…

Bottom line: The US will need to send troops to Iran in large numbers like Iraq to achieve Trump/Netanyahu's goals. That is exactly what Netanyahu is hoping for.

Opinion | There is no reason to think this war with Iran is necessary Trump criticized the Iraq War. Now he’s making the same mistakes.

JD Vance said there is β€œno chance” the US would be drawn into a lengthy war. But isn’t that what Bush thought before Iraq & LBJ before Vietnam? Wars are risky & unpredictable.The US should engage in them only if it absolutely has to. There is no reason to think this war is necessary. wapo.st/4seF5K1

All I'm getting from this (except for the racism) is that Dubai doesn't have people.

Unsurprisingly, the hotel hit in Dubai receives more Western media attention than the girls' school destroyed by Israel in Minab, Iran.

Because, remember, it's a tragedy only if white and rich people are hurt.

We're re-living The Gilded Age.

"They weren't supposed to bomb the luxury Dubai hotels!" is the new "Rich people aren't supposed to get tuberculosis!" from the late 19th century.

"The Trump administration was not prepared." Of course, they weren't.

The progressive era is coming, folks.

SAVE America Act would crash voter registration drives β€œFlorida, Texas and Arizona… they're seen as places where you have a laboratory for cutting civil rights.”

Republicans in Congress could steer voter registration drives into a ditch with bills that would all but prevent civic organizations like churches and grassroots community groups from collecting and submitting registration forms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Leaked audio from a company-wide meeting has revealed that David Zaslav thinks it will take at least 6-12 months for the Warner Bros/Paramount deal to close.

β€œThe deal may not close. If it doesn't close, we get $7 billion, and we get back to work.”

Justin Wolfers: The Real (Economic) State Of The Union
Justin Wolfers: The Real (Economic) State Of The Union What happens when political speeches collide with economic data? This clip pulls together the real economic State of the Union using the key statistics that hit your wallet: inflation, jobs, economic…

I tuned in to the State of the Union, and saw nothing but a firehose of lies.

If the President won't tell you the state of the economy, I will: Here's an honest assessment of the (economic) state of the union. No reality TV gimmicks, just nerdy numbers.

A notable new comment from California AG Rob Bonta: He says "I'm in conversation with my AG colleagues about Paramount/Warner Bros," meaning he is talking with other state attorneys general about possibly suing to block the deal

ICE & CBP have been arresting & detaining small children across the country.

This video explores the data from San Diego & through November this administration has arrested at least 21 toddlers under the age of 4 in San Diego.

President Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems Trump called the AI lab a "RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY" in a social media post. The Pentagon also ordered all military contractors to stop doing business with Anthropic.

β€œTrump ordered the U.S. government on Friday to stop using the artificial intelligence company Anthropic's products and the Pentagon moved to designate the company a national security risk, in a sharp escalation of a high-stakes fight over the military's use of AI.”

Anthropic Takes a Stand The company is refusing to bow to the Pentagon’s demands.

When you put stupid, evil people in positions of power you get stupid, evil decisions. And when I wake up to news as dystopic as, β€œThe U.S. Military wants to have robots that can surveil and kill people, autonomously!” It literally blows the top offa my head!

Donald Trump canceled Direct File after giant tax prep companies spent millions lobbying.

Why? Because Direct File let you file your taxes for free.

So today, I’m introducing a bill to make Direct File the law of the land. And 160 members of Congress are joining me.
