The ex-prosecutor also said this:

“I have a lot of close contacts in law enforcement, and almost to a person, none of them support these actions. As a lawyer, someone who adamantly believes in the rule of law, watching it in open sight in front of my house just be completely eroded…it’s upsetting.”

The Trump administration has just agreed to buy thousands of drone parts from Donald Trump Jr.’s new drone company.
Canada won't "pay" a dime. We will.

This guy hates us. He lives in a world of porn stars and golf
Also, the ad was not “fraudulent” in any way shape or form. Reagan said it.

Trump thinks we are all morons.

At least three people were taken into custody after a confrontation between residents and federal agents on Chicago’s Northwest Side this morning. Witnesses described the incident as "traumatizing" and said the agents' use of tear gas was excessive.

Cup lineup for Sunday at Martinsville.
Do we need law enforcement? Yes. But ICE has to be disbanded. They're intentionally violating laws. They have zero interest in even a facade of fake de-escalation and clearly want to stir the pot and anger the populace

It's time for local police to find a way to help their residents. Push tf back.
ICE violently detain U.S. citizen who is standing up for his employees—tackle his elderly mother in the process.

He looks right at Chicago Police just standing around and asks, "Officers, why are you letting this happen?"

🧵This should terrify everyone.

The day after Trump promised "very threatening" steps against Antifa activists, Dr. Bray and his family were blocked at the boarding gate at Newark.

They were told their reservations had been canceled.

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.
OMG! People with cameras! Get out the tear gas!

Pussies. Take off the masks.

Look what you did you nationalist fucks
Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.
They enjoy intimidating people

It's just fucking wrong

There must be trials when this is over

Stephen Miller: "The scandal is how Democrats & the left scarred the landscape of our country w/grotesque so-called modern art that celebrates ugliness ... very importantly, President Trump is making sure it's in the neo-classical design around which our nation's architecture has long been directed"

Trump is having a tariff meltdown on Truth Social this morning

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:
None of this is based in reality.

Why the Reagan Foundation is going along with it is something only they know, but this ad seems to have struck a nerve

Hit em harder
Trump is completely melting down over Canada running a Reagan commercial with Reagan’s own words.

Sad!
