THE CRUELTY…

ICE snatched a high school student while he was walking his dog.

Agents tied his dog to a tree and, and for extra fuckery, unclipped the collar—letting him run loose on a busy street.

According to family, agents joked during his arrest, laughing about the $2,500 they just secured.

WHOA. One of Eric Adams' former police commissioners just filed a lawsuit accusing him of running the NYPD like a "racketeering enterprise."

Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

Donald Trump's Social Security Admin is LYING to the American people.

They said call wait times are down to minutes. Well, I investigated and found people are waiting HOURS for help — and that's if they get help at all.

They need to stop the cover up and fix this giant failure.
How long will you wait for Social Security help? Why it's anybody's guess.
The Social Security Administration is providing less information about caller wait times. Critics complain it's misleading the public.
