This.
The video of this incident is just as bad as it sounds. The priest is standing there, not doing anything remotely illegal, and without warning a masked DHS agent on the roof shoots him in the top of his head with a pepper ball.

Americans in Tuscon & Yuma have no US Rep to call as they endure flooding. Speaker Johnson seated 2 GOP members w/in 24 hrs of election. Rep. Adelita Grijalva still waits 3 weeks post-election. She would provide decisive 218th signature to force vote on release of yes, the

Alas, MTG comes to her senses. How do we get that antidote to the rest of the afflicted?

Can we hold our vote long enough to see if he invades Greenland, Panama, and Venezuela first?
Retweet if you believe @realDonaldTrump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

As this conservative economist puts it, Trump’s plan to have taxpayers pay billions to save tariff-devastated farmers amounts to “a slow-motion train wreck…” https://t.co/QD1A3VOFnG via @NYTimes

As it did in 2018, the White House plans to dole out relief funds to struggling U.S. farmers who have lost their biggest customer.

Glad to hear of the recent embrace of “accountability and transparency.” Now, about those Epstein files…..? The Holman bribe…..? The Jan 6th insurrection…..?
They tracked the communications of GOP Senators. They weaponized law enforcement against the American people. That era is over. We fired those who acted unethically, dismantled the corrupt CR-15 squad, and launched an investigation. Transparency and accountability aren’t

Two years ago today, Hamas terrorists took hundreds of hostages and brutally murdered more than 1,200 people in the deadliest assault on Jews since the Holocaust. This day of mourning remains a heartbreaking reminder to the families who lost loved ones and spurred the onset of a

Great to see Dan Schulman taking on a new chapter and new challenges, now at the helm of Verizon. His principled and visionary leadership can catalyze our collective efforts to bridge our digital divide.

Scores of Palestinians have died in Israeli bombing in the days since Hamas announced a willingness to release hostages. Trump must stand behind his warnings to Netanyahu. Israel’s use of US arms during ceasefire negotiations violates US law (the FAA & AECA)

What's important is to understand the cumulative effect of it all. To not just see today's outrage. See the silencing of Kimmel, the arrest of Comey, the harassment of Soros, the troops in our cities, the seizure of spending power, as all part of a plan to end our democracy.
This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

I routinely see false assertions that Democrats are to blame for the shutdown because they want to give free healthcare to undocumented immigrants. In fact, federal law bars unauthorized immigrants from buying Affordable Care Act marketplace plans or receiving Obamacare tax

So the GOP position is that Democrats are crazy to shut down the government bc they'll address Obamacare subsidies in December — after people have made their open enrollment decisions in November — only Rs can't make any promises because they don't know if they have the votes.
Thune says he can’t make promises about Obamacare subsidies: “We can’t make commitments or promises on the COVID subsidies because that’s not something that we can guarantee there are the votes to do.”

Yes, authoritarians lose elections. But it requires our courage—all of us. https://t.co/ot5xbzvPta via @NYTOpinion

Authoritarians have lost elections before, and they will again.
