So not for cause, or to address fraud, waste & abuse.

For partisan political pain.

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?

TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.

No crimes. No goodbyes to her infant daughter. Heidy was forcibly removed from the U.S. in 48 hours. We should all be furious. Call Congress to demand due process: 202-224-3121

Retribution Is Here

The president’s threats of revenge are no longer bluster.

Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

The ICE-holes are bounty hunters, proud boys, oath keepers, facist militias, kkk, nazi hate groups, Jan 6th insurrectionists

They are being paid $1000 per arrest
An ICE supervisory role = $132-$185k yearly
Concentration camp mgrs = $306k yearly
$50k hiring bonuses

This BULLSHIT has to end NOW!

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.
