Everyone in America should have to see these cases and think about what they mean for the kind of society we are becoming. They killed a mom in her minivan. And now they have grabbed this poor sweet kid, used him as bait to grab his dad, and sent him to a detention center in Texas.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

Renee Good Family’s Lawyer: We gave the federal government a letter of preservation last week. We asked them to preserve that vehicle to make sure that it’s stored in a safe manner so that none of the evidence gets altered…That is an example of one piece of evidence that we don’t have access to.

I think any straightforward reading of the foreign emoluments clause forbids the president from personally taking a lifetime office and title like this without Congress’s consent fwiw.
I think the Board of Peace is one of those things that’s not unconstitutional, but anti-constitutional.

It is not clear to me this org obligates the United States to do anything like a treaty. But, entering a multi-national working group where Trump is chairman for life violates enduring values.

Trump is trying to increase the Pentagon's bloated budget to $1.5 TRILLION.

Meanwhile his admin made massive cuts to FEMA — and now a large part of the U.S. is staring down a potentially catastrophic winter storm.

The priorities of this admin are warped.

Referring to his keynote address at the World Economic Forum, Trump told the audience that sometimes “you need a dictator.” To be clear, this is the President of the United Staes telling the world (including us) that we need a dictator, and HE is that dictator.

If this is accurate, Good was killed by a bullet fired after there was any conceivable argument Agent Ross was in the path of her vehicle, which means there was no legal justification for using deadly force. But DOJ says there’s no reason to investigate.

ICE WARNING...

Ice goons are now filming Rapid Response volunteers and running their plates to get their personal information. They then use that personal information to intimidate Rapid Responders. This, of course is illegal, but they operate with impunity and local law enforcement goes along.

Trump can't even keep his own invasion plans straight.

The president repeatedly confused Greenland and Iceland during his latest speech.

This is deeply concerning.

We need to investigate Trump's cognitive decline.
