Yesterday, our volunteer observers saw 13 detainees board an ICE Air flight, which flew to Alexandria, LA.

Since January 1, we've noted 79 such flights at MSP, which have carried away an estimated 3,127 people to detention centers in Nebraska, Louisiana, Texas, and beyond.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

And before this illegal war the clerics were opposed to choosing him as a successor because they didn’t want to set a precedent that could lead to a hereditary monarchy.

Trump is threatening to not sign any bills into law until the SAVE Act is approved by the Senate..

With the current make up of Congress and the crappy bills they pass, that's not really the threat he thinks it is.

How about Iran, Israel, and the U.S. all agree to sign on to the ICC. That sounds like a fair compromise to me.

Democrats MUST insist on a vote on an Authorization of Military Force (an AUMF) for Trump’s war in Iran.

My friend @kaine.senate.gov is leading the charge on a War Powers Resolution (WPR) that I support. But it's not a substitute for an AUMF.

1/ A 🧡on the difference. It's important.

Trump’s bombing of Iran is reckless and a direct threat to American and Iranian lives. Launching military strikes without congressional authorization or evidence of an imminent threat is not strength. It is an abuse of power.

Tell your Members of Congress to put an immediate stop to this war.

Update: I'm working on legislation to ban corrupt and destabilizing prediction markets, where insiders who know the outcome (especially in government) can rig the game to favor certain bets.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as β€˜violent perpetrators’

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

Looks like he punched him in the stomach after saying he’d punch him in the face, clever misdirection.

The SAVE Act is a poll tax in order to vote. It's voter suppression, pure and simple.

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

Absolute bullshit! So Epstein sent multiple emails to people talking about the women he trafficked, including a 9 year old he called β€œsexy”. He asked someone to send him a photo of β€œyou and child. Make me smile”. And they couldn’t follow up on any of this to the point of pressing charges?

i started researching Russian disinfo networks in 2014 and writing about them in 2015 and the sheer amount of smug online assholes who dismissed every piece of reporting as CIA propaganda or whatever will never not piss me off

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio PeΓ±a, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out β€œfully autonomous” means β€œa guy in the Philippines.”
