ICE is arresting husbands & wives at their final green card interviews

They’re going to the immigration meeting to complete the final step in the legal process and leaving in handcuffs

One man had to take his crying infant from his wife’s arms as ICE forcibly detained her

This is cruel entrapment

No network should broadcast a single Trump or Vance event, speech or press conference live until his ban targeting specific media companies for their coverage is lifted. At some point you have to stop limiting your response to lawsuits and go on offense to defend the First Amend.

Arizona’s governor vetoed 151 bills this year. Ten of them were election bills — more than any other governor in the country.

She’s there because 17,000 people showed up.
That’s the whole margin. 46 days.

He ran elections in one Missouri county for 14 years.

Then the Secretary of State brought him to the capital to guard against fraud statewide.

Now he's the one under oath, and it's his own boss he's testifying about.
He Was Hired To Catch Election Fraud. Then He Reported His Republican Boss.
Also: a search-history ban, an insurance industry forced to pay, and 151 vetoes in one session

You'd think the fact that the son of the President of the "party of family values" 2nd marriage is to the daughter of Epstein's banker and it was funded by a Rusisan oligarch involved in the mass kidnap of Ukrainian kids during a KGB agent's illegal war

Would be bigger news..

KAEPERNICK: The part that I hope people take away in this moment is what Robert Kraft and what they’re saying by denying Macklemore is they are openly colluding.

They also want people to know that if you take an action that they don’t agree with, they will come for you.

This is just preliminary data (final numbers will be released at 4 pm), but the '60 Minutes' premiere averaged 7.7 million viewers and 1.5 mill in the 25-54 demo, down 19% and 33%, respectively, compared to last season's debut.

This marks the lowest-rated premiere this century, if the numbers hold.

Worth noting, as Macklemore was banned by NFL owners in what will be dubbed "fighting antisemitism", that Kanye, who
- sold merch with swastikas
- said on Alex Jones that he idolizes Hitler
- tweeted he was "going Defcon 3 on Jewish people"

is currently on a multi-city tour of NFL stadiums
New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran.

Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

Federal district court judges like Indira Talwani — who effectively stopped Trump's plan to use the US Postal Service to restrict mail-in voting — deserve the gratitude and appreciation of all Americans.

They are holding the line against the authoritarian bullies who threaten our freedoms.

The people in power in Texas are making it harder to vote on purpose. They know when young people & Black voters head to the polls, the status quo changes. Voter suppression is proof that your voice has the strength to break their hold on the state. Your vote is their biggest fear. #BlueWaveIn50Days

Since Greg Abbott has been in office, property taxes have gone up 75%. While I lowered taxes for Texans on the school board, Abbott’s recapture payments became a de facto state property tax we're paying.

The only person gaslighting Texans is Greg Abbott.
