at press conference just now, JB Pritzker says after playing this video: "if arresting elected officials just for asking questions isn't authoritarianism, then I would ask: What is?"

CENSORED: “They refused to run my column this week. Too critical of Trump, they said.” Writer Dan Conway left The Daily Memphian after editors rejected his column for criticizing Trump’s unconstitutional military incursions into US cities. Read the column:

ICE detains father legally in the U.S.—in front of his son's school bus. He has valid Visa U permit that grants him work authorization—and an active Social Security number. His son brought the official paperwork to the detention center—but agents told him it "didn't matter."

AWFUL: The Trump admin is ending investigations into child trafficking and drug smuggling because they’ve reassigned the agents to go after random migrants instead. Dedicated federal agents are spending most of their day picking up landscapers and little time on fighting crime.

Oregon Sen. Merkley accuses Trump admin of staging chaotic scenes in Portland to justify bringing in troops: “They threw down pepper balls. They threw down tear gas. I think they had smoke grenades in there…the whole point was to have people running and then videotape it by the

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

ICE drags U.S. citizen out of car—initially lie about her making illegal U-turn. "I was driving around and told to leave, but I was boxed in," she said. "I told them I couldn’t and they pull me out of my car." Agents were upset they missed quota: "Only one and she’s a citizen."

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight. As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. The plan wasn’t to be made public. Clearly someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited

This is obscene. ICE is a street gang with a quota abduction. Men in black masks grabbing citizens out of their cars for no reason whatsoever. An out-of-control paramilitary, the whole agency must be put down by Congress, and its agents must be prosecuted

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

BREAKING: Federal judge officially found ICE violated people’s rights during raids in Chicago, conducted unlawful arrests.

There is not a single person in the Trump administration with decency, honor or integrity. Their job is to lie for Trump, full stop. Someday, their time in the Trump administration will be over, but none of them will be deserving of respect for the remainder of their lives.

He’s just making it up and there are zero consequences for his lies. Every media organization, every newspaper front page, every nightly news broadcast, should be leading with ‘the president is lying about the situation in Portland.’ But our media is broken and can’t/wont do it.

To anybody who thinks I'm being sarcastic when I say ICE are Brown Shirts, watch this.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law. A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections. We need to stand up together and speak up.

the degree to which Republican politicians have become comfortable demanding the denaturalization of US citizens who disagree with them politically is really ominous

"Antifa reign of terror" is BULLSHIT. White nationalists ALONE killed 8 times more people than every left-of-center killer combined since 2000. Right-wing perpetrators commit 93% of political killings in the US.

Never in the history of our great country has a President threatened to jail a Governor for disagreeing with him. I stand with Governor Pritzker and hope all Americans do as well. This is authoritarian insanity. Donald Trump’s not fighting crime, he’s abusing power to attack
