Confirmed --this really happened. They were not authorized to do it and the purpose is unclear.
Let this sink in: ICE agents reportedly blocked the emergency entrance of a Los Angeles hospital for TWO HOURS, forcing ambulances carrying people who needed emergency care to go elsewhere. This isn’t law enforcement. This is a reckless abuse of power that put innocent people’s lives at risk. An ambulance entrance is not a political battleground. A hospital emergency room is not an immigration checkpoint. And federal agents do not get to hold an entire community’s access to emergency medical care hostage. Imagine being in an ambulance, fighting for your life, only to be diverted because federal agents decided their operation mattered more than emergency access. Where is the humanity? Where is the accountability? And where is the line that these agents are no longer allowed to cross? You cannot claim to be protecting America while putting Americans’ lives in danger. This isn’t making America great. It’s making America cruel. And anyone defending this should be ashamed.

I'm less impressed by how @ossoff speaks (though he's terrific at that too) and more impressed by what he says. This 2-minute clip is the best explanation of Trump corruption that I've ever heard. His explanation of the Russian dirty deals is so accurate and so clear. He knows the facts cold. And he explains them better than I can.
He has that Obama elocution.

I spent two years working with Stephen Miller. His appointment as White House chief of staff is among the most dangerous personnel decisions in the history of our republic. I say that without reservation.

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points. (clip via @DropSiteNews)

Senator-Elect @AbdulElSayed does not back @SenSchumer for leadership: "I want new leadership - focused on getting money out of politics, putting money in your pocket, and passing Medicare for all... I want to see who else is willing to throw their hat in the ring." (From @BulwarkOnline)

🚨 JUST IN: Michigan Senate-elect Abdul El-Sayed declined to endorse Chuck Schumer as the next Senate majority leader. “I’m interested to see, working with the rest of our caucus, what options we’ve got.”

This is what I've been saying since the beginning. They've stolen time from us. They've stolen the opportunity to see things that will never be achieved or accomplished in our lives because They've set everything back so far.theyve stolen so much from us all. Bury them.
The MAGA party took 10 years from you. Now is not the time to meet them halfway.

*Father threw children off building to murder them in a family annihilation, as men do every 5 days. It isn't a "fall" when you're thrown off a building by your father, as has been ruled by medical examiner.

BREAKING: Thomas Massie is preparing to re-open the Epstein Files probe after Democrats re-take the House. This is going to be FUCKING EPIC.

SCOOP: Jennifer Hegseth, the wife of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a former longtime Fox producer, last year was paid by the top Trump-connected DC consulting firm Watchtower Strategy that also did work on behalf of Lockheed Martin the same year (!). politico.com/newsletters/pla…

It wasn't the sexual assault allegations. It wasn't the coup attempt on January 6th. It wasn't the racism. It wasn't the transphobia. It was the price of gas and groceries. As great as last night was, the sad reality is that Americans didn't care until it affected their wallets

Tonight’s outcome isn’t about placing faith in Democrats or socialist principles; it’s about holding Republicans accountable for betraying their promises. All Republicans had to do was: 1. put Americans First 2. not start another war 3. prosecute sex traffickers

Hundreds of Minnesotans are leaving their "I voted" stickers at the site where Alex Pretti was murdered by ICE agents.

Trump: I have two beautiful sisters. One was a federal judge, top federal judge. The other is beautiful but I never had an interest in dating her.
