ICE detain 2 elementary students—deport them within 48 hours. 'This week ICE crossed a new alarming line," said lawyer. "Children are being targeted." They were deported with nothing but the clothes on their backs—to place where they have no home, no belongings, nor resources. 6-year-old Denis and 11-year-old Genesis—both students at Burton Magnet Elementary School—were detained with their parents while attending an asylum hearing. Their phones and documents were taken away before being driven away in unmarked van with dark tinted windows—so they couldn't even wave goodbye to their family. "If we do everything according to the law we can still get kidnapped in the middle of the day and taken away... What are people supposed to do?" Incident occurred in Durham, North Carolina.

@DougWahl1 @RoweTeefortin I’m sure rules don’t apply to her.

SHE TOOK HER PHONE ON THE COURSE! Kai Trump is coming under criticism, and possibly facing a life-time ban from Augusta National after posting several pictures. Phones are prohibited at the Masters! Those who break the rule are restricted from ever coming back. Your Thoughts?

We need a lot more coverage of .@PeteButtigieg on the news, calling out these folks, and a lot less gaslighting from this administration. Pete is always ready to dismantle their arguments. #DemsUnited

We welcome the First Lady’s call for action and transparency in the Epstein case. But, let us be clear—that begins at home with the President and his DOJ’s cover-up in this case. Survivors have told their stories—to the FBI, DOJ, and in numerous cases. And yet DOJ has yet to prosecute a single perpetrator named in the files, except Maxwell, who they gave a sweetheart deal. Justice and accountability mean prosecuting those who have committed crimes and holding those accountable who have shielded them, including the acting and former AG.

Under President Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear agreement, Iran’s uranium enrichment was capped at 3.67%, with international inspectors verifying compliance. Then Donald J. Trump tore the deal up. After that, enrichment didn’t just creep up, it surged past 60%, and the verification regime collapsed. The guardrails were gone. Then Trump turned around and attacked Iran, claiming he’d crippled their ability to build a bomb. But the core capability was never just infrastructure. It’s the scientists, the expertise, the knowledge base. And that’s all still there. So what’s the result? A stronger, less constrained Iran. More leverage over the Strait of Hormuz. Energy markets rattled. Gas prices surging. Every step was supposed to “fix” the last problem. Instead, it compounded it.

Bombshell from the AP: The Trump Administration was caught using bogus “fraud” data to investigate blue states. Is anyone surprised?

I am furious & disgusted that ICE has arrested a Cheshire teen who came to the US because his family helped our troops in Afghanistan. This family deserves protection not prosecution. I am going to do everything I can to help this young man.

New reporting reveals hundreds of communities across the country are waiting on nearly $10 billion in backlogged FEMA funding.

🚨Florida MAGA pastor & former deputy Angelo Musicaro, 57, arrested on 7 counts of lewd & lascivious m*lestation of children under 12. Allegedly abused 4 juvenile victims multiple times (2021-2026). Reportedly planned 2028 sheriff run. Bond: $605K (posted).

Here’s the real Melania Trump in a resurfaced clip, demanding to see President Obama's birth certificate and running with the insane right-wing conspiracy theory that Obama was not a US-born citizen.

BUTTIGIEG: The strait was open before they started this KERNEN: They were close to having 11 nuclear weapons! BUTTIGIEG: We had other ways of dealing with them KERNEN: Like what? Obama's way? BUTTIGIEG: That worked KERNEN: That did not work! BUTTIGIEG: Did they get a nuclear weapon under Obama?

GAME CHANGER: Montana just found the "exit ramp" to kill Citizens United. They aren't waiting for the Supreme Court—they’re going around them. 74% of voters are on board and corporate lawyers are PANICKING. This is how we win. 🏔️💸 dworkinsubstack.com/p/army-secreta…

MAGA mama calls police on Hispanic neighbors 14 times—just since Trump sworn in. Claims they are "illegal" Mexicans who "can't afford" to live next to her—calling on ICE to deport them. She is caught on ringcam yelling racist slurs—including insults assuming their ethnicity. Local police have issued warnings for trespassing—but nothing has stopped the attacks. The Reyes Guzman family is now forced to take action into their own hands—taking their neighbor to civil court to obtain a restraining order. Incident occurred in Pearland, Texas.

It's my birthday! I'm 57 today. Wait, wait, that can't be right... open.substack.com/pub/annelamott…

The Trump administration views DACA recipients as deportable as any undocumented immigrant. For my latest, I talked to immigrants without permanent legal status who entered the country as children and spent months in ICE detention. notus.org/immigration/da…

Trump’s Truth Social page continues to serve ads for an “international dating” service

Buttigieg: "The big thing that's different now is that in many periods in American history, you have inflation and then the administration does things to reduce it. Right now, we have the administration actively making prices higher."

The only "American people" who benefitted from Bondi was Tromp & his billionaire cohorts. Now he has a new line of "politicians" who are running for office. Did you really think Blanche was going to be any different from Bondi??

"Access to discussions is critical not only for accountability but also for future admins who want to re-engage in rational diplomacy. It’s why the DOJ’s opinion granting Trump, and every president following him, a license to steal history is so dangerous" theintercept.com/2026/04/09/tru…
