“ICE didn’t just go after undocumented immigrants. Under Trump, it became a secret police force in plain sight.”If that sounds dramatic, read the receipts: 🔗 https://t.co/sFr0FmLtUg #ICE #civilrights #journalism

Missouri’s Mike Kehoe just sent in the National Guard. Not to stop violence. But to intimidate peaceful protestors. Here’s what that really means: 🔗

BREAKING: ABC just fired Terry Moran—hours after suspending him for criticizing Stephen Miller. Trump demanded it. ABC caved. The First Amendment is under attack—and the networks are helping. I just about it. Now, he's fired (no connection). https://t.co/snMQKRGsff

TV networks are caving to Trump’s attacks on the press—not to defend journalism, but to protect billions in https://t.co/NigZYzHXIw latest: ABC’s surrender. CBS’s hush money. The FCC in ruins.👉 Read:

I've been a journalist for more than 50 years. This is as chilling a sign as we've ever had that freedom of the press is dying in America. We should all stand with @TerryMoran. Those in the news media who lack the guts to do so are complicit. https://t.co/ZMkWgZa8e0

Republicans are desperate to keep Biden on stage — to pummel him over his mental decline. Too little, too late. He should’ve resigned a year ago. And we wouldn’t be living today’s nightmare. 👉 https://t.co/PrfQpwnMQR #Biden #2024 #Politics #Substack

Trump kicked off Pride Month by erasing Harvey Milk. One man saved lives in the Navy. The other dodged duty with “bone spurs.” My new column: 👉 https://t.co/KHfB1SnxfJ #HarveyMilk #PrideMonth #Trump #LGBTQ

Trump’s assault on Harvard is real. But the WSJ just compared it to Obama cracking down on Corinthian Colleges. That’s not a political parallel—it’s ideological improv with a broken compass. My new column: 🧼 https://t.co/I0eSp5slvk #Trump #WSJ #Harvard #Media #Substack

We’ve had a federal law against hiring undocumented workers since 1986. We just don’t enforce it. We jail the powerless — and protect the people writing the paychecks. And it drives illegal immigration. https://t.co/imDURU6ACw #Immigration #Politics #Labor #RayHartmann

From the column: “Let’s be clear: Trump didn’t call South Africa a shithole today. And he didn’t refer to Ramaphosa as his African. But he might as well have called him ‘my African guest star.’” 🎬 Full piece:

🎬 “Ambush That Foreign Leader” — now streaming from the White House. Trump turned the Oval Office into a TV studio — complete with propaganda, fawning acolytes, and a strangely silent Elon Musk. 🧠 I broke it all down here: https://t.co/s16n2bDW3z #Trump #OvalOffice #Ramaphosa

“Reportedly, FEMA will mosey out Wednesday so the administration can start thinking about maybe helping.” No empathy. No urgency. Just cruelty. cc: @jonstewart @Thom_Hartmann @KeithOlbermann @NewsAndGuts 👉

FEMA? Nowhere to be found. Trump? Too busy ranting about more important things. Four days after a killer tornado, St. Louis is still waiting. My latest: Your Tax Dollars At Rest 👉

Trump just upped the U.S. tradition of kissing up to Qatar’s oil billions — probably left with some in Bitcoin. But let’s not forget: this bipartisan groveling goes way back. New column:
