The Americans, who really don't like public enterprise and are highly suspicious of government, have launched themselves into a war, the largest public enterprise of them all. Everyone involved, from the most senior admirals to the newest recruit, is a public servant on the government payroll.

Meiselas: Trump is a parody in the most extreme sense of the boogeymen MAGA created to go after Dems. He’s quite literally all of it. He covers up the pedo ring. He starts wars everywhere. He uses government to tread on people.

He's the most extreme example of what they claimed they wanted to stop.

There are over 3,800 children locked up in ICE concentration camps (calling it what they are).
Here are children who passed while in ICE custody. May they rest in peace.
Kristi Noem must be held accountable before this number grows exponentially.

Investigative Post obtained video of Border Patrol abandoning Nurul Shah Alam, the Buffalo refugee.

Border Patrol claimed the shop was open. The doors, however were locked. Agents never notified family or lawyers. Shah Alam died 5 days later.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 β€” mostly through shady crypto deals.

That amounts to $456,621 per hour.

But how are you doing?

β€˜Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, β€˜If it can happen to me, i...

β€œDon’t go to the US not with Trump in charge.”

That isn’t a slogan. It isn’t a protest chant. It’s the warning of a woman who says she did everything right and still vanished into detention.

When Karen Newton boarded her flight to the United States, she wasn’t sneaking across a desert border.

Special Saturday Triad: What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis The national media has moved on. Minnesota is still under siege.

β€œYou now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth.”

Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature
Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Trump, and his First Amendment assassin FCC chair, essentially banned this interview by Stephen Colbert and @jamestalarico.bsky.social. It could not air on Colbert's show, so he put it on youtube.

Trump is terrified that Talarico will flip a Texas senate seat blue.

I worked with ICE as a US attorney. Abolishing it won't bring justice. You think Immigration and Customs Enforcement is bad? Letting Trump build a new agency from the ground up would be a disaster.

From my new @usatoday.com column:

"If we want to wrestle our country back from the grip that fascism has on America’s throat, we should not waste our efforts trying to abolish ICE. We must abolish Trump."

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

Companies reap $22bn from Trump’s immigration crackdown Palantir and Deloitte among beneficiaries of spending by government agencies

Palantir, Deloitte, and the private prison giant GEO Group took in more than $22 billion from ICE and CBP last year. Behind the spreadsheets and contracts, there's a quieter truth: someone is getting rich from cages, borders, and human pain. Profit has always been fluent in the language of cruelty.

Krugman here offers a great and comprehensive explainer on the deep contradictions and failings of the actual MAGA economic vision, what Trump-MAGA really want to do to our economy and society. You'll learn a ton:
