Over 40 government officials were indicted or jailed over Watergate. From the U.S. Attorney General to the White House Chief of Staff; history often repeats itself. Those in positions of power need a reality check and look at their futures; kings don’t last forever.

Was she undocumented? Here on a green card? A U.S. citizen? WHAT FUCKING DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? SHE'S A TEENAGE GIRL WHO WAS JUST KIDNAPPED OFF THE STREETS, THROWN INTO A VAN & DISAPPEARED.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

They’re still offering new ICE recruits a $50,000 signing bonus, yet active duty military were seen today lining up at food banks.
