I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

BREAKING: We won! And we get discovery into this crazy demolition threat to boot. Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social and to my colleagues at DDF and WLG. Formal statement to follow.

For years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored. That ends today. nyc.gov/sept11docs

I feel like this tweet doesn't get talked about enough.

The world is watching the US government run for-profit Concentration Camps on American soil in real time... in 2026. When is anyone going to be brought to justice for these human atrocities? Why is CONGRESS allowing it?

ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.

Texans are good with clawing out a window in their prison instead of pushing against the clearly unlocked door…

Now this is a concert. 🎵

WATCH: The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first six months of the second Trump administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases. Full story: propub.li/4tHp2Wd

"As the journalists interacted with the migrants, uniformed police barged in and detained the lawyer and four journalists. Police confiscated their cameras, laptops and phones..." www.wsj.com/world/africa...

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

This is some disgraceful and authoritarian shit that happens in Hungary and Russia… and Trump’s America. @pbsnews.org is a national treasure.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

NEW: Ayman Soliman, whose detention sparked a community uproar and became a test of counterterrorism powers in immigration court, was released from an Ohio jail Friday as DHS abruptly withdrew its deportation case against the children's hospital chaplain. By @hannahallam.bsky.social

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremists  But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.

ARIZONA: “(Voucher) parents bought diamond rings, luxury clothing, dog food, grills, mopeds with public education dollars….” A handout for the wealthy. This has been @GovBillLee’s #1 priority. #LeesVoucherScam www.12news.com/article/news...

Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.

Paul Dama left Nigeria after being kidnapped in 2018. His detention by ICE now feels like “a second kidnapping,” says his sister. “I felt like someone just sucked my blood, my air. Like, how do you live?"

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "They've talked about these fines, they've talked about trying to expel us from office... We're not too concerned about the personal or political costs. This is a lot bigger than us. This is about whether or not we will have free and fair elections in 2026."

America, we are now a lawless shithole country governed by a nasty old tyrannical pedophile.... every single person ever convicted based on an FBI investigation should now have their case reviewed based on this obstruction of justice.🤬🤬🤬

One was beaten unconscious. Others were covered in bruises, struggling to walk or vomiting blood. Another said he’d been sexually assaulted. These are the stories of 16 former detainees who were deported to El Salvador’s mega prison.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

It’s Abu Ghraib all over again. But inside our borders.
