Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?

Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.

Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?

Noem: My condolences to their families

Raskin: You lied about them.

Senator Says Secret Briefing on Iran Proves It’s ‘Worse Than You Thought’ Lawmakers attended a classified meeting as the Trump administration tries to justify the conflict.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:

"It is so much worse than you thought. You are right to be worried.

“This illegal war is based on lies... Donald Trump still hasn’t given a single clear reason for this war, and he seems to have no plan for how to end it.”

Respondents have already wasted valuable time and resources.  Worst of all, not only does detention without due process deprive members of the Bond Eligible Class of their liberty, economic stability, and fundamental dignity, but it also harms their families, communities, and the fabric of this very nation.   IT IS SO ORDERED.

Wow.

Fed. judge tells DHS, ICE, Sec. Noem, AG Bondi, EOIR and others that they are harming "the fabric of this very nation" by defying a court order that vacated their automatic-detention policy.

National Commission on Electoral Reform | Open Britain Millions of votes don't count under First Past the Post. Sign the petition for an independent National Commission on Electoral Reform to review how Britain elects its MPs.

Elections should represent what people want and need, not those with the loudest voices or deepest pockets. A National Commission is how we'll get the change we need. Could you add your name? www.open-britain.co.uk/ncer

Trump's regime murdered Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse who came to the aid of woman that ICE agents were assaulting. Trump and his regime are now smearing Pretti as a terrorist. Yet they have zero evidence to back that up. This is what we are dealing with. They will kill you and then smear you.

I really need Democratic lawmakers to understand that we're fed up with them simply posting on social media "this has to stop" without calling for specific actions to make it stop.

We know this needs to stop. We elected you. Tell us what needs to be done to make it stop.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

If your peace plan includes Vladimir Putin and excludes actual allies, it’s not peace. It’s submission.

"Things here are very, very bad. A lot of our friends have been killed. They were firing live rounds. It's like a war zone, streets are full of blood. They're taking away bodies in trucks"

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Why Is the Government Really Refusing to Investigate Russian Interference in Brexit? Keir Starmer's decision to exclude Russian interference in the 2016 EU referendum from his inquiry into foreign interference in our elections should ring alarm bells, argues Sergei Cristo

Shabana Mahmood clearly has no morals or empathy, which is presumably why Starmer chose her for Home Secretary.

The UK has, by any measure, totally lost its way, morally, culturally and financially.

Shabana Mahmood and the Politics of Extortion Labour's strategy of telling its supporters to back Reform-style policies, or get a Reform Government, is the politics of the protection racket and it is not going to work

"The policy and rhetoric is as cruel as anything announced by Nigel Farage. Yet the Home Secretary is planning to sell it to Labour MPs by suggesting that it is the only way to prevent a Reform Government.There is only one way to describe this. It is the politics of the protection racket."
