A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile.

ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.

Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

Trump urged Republicans to "get rid" of the Chips and Science Act. Remember the last time they tried that?

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.

In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

They didn’t transmit a special message, and the reason for pausing given isn’t one of the three acceptable reasons in subsection b.

“No officer or employee of the United States may defer any budget authority for any other purpose.”

I’m a broken record on this, but the pause is completely illegal. It directly violates Section 1013 of the Impoundment Control Act.
