It seems almost surreal that Rick Snyder is making a stand against Trump. Alas, none of the GOP MI Gubernatorial candidates nor "independent" Mike Duggan are willing to say that Trump is wrong about the Gordie Howe Bridge. GOP Senate candidates also will not disagree with Trump. Sad...
Don't think we've ever said this before, and we don't expect to ever say it again, but... Rick Snyder is right here. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
I’m the former Michigan governor who negotiated the Gordie Howe bridge. Here’s what Donald Trump gets wrong
The U.S. president has shared multiple dubious assertions about the bridge linking Windsor with Detroit. The facts tell a different story, writes Rick Snyder.

ICE officials knew use of force was rising well before Minneapolis shootings
Internal agency emails show a surge in reports of ICE officers using more force going back nearly a year, but DHS leadership did not see it as a concern to be addressed.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

She has Type 1 diabetes & needs insulin to survive.
They deprived her of urgent medical attention & she almost died.
This isn't a one off. This administration is torturing immigrants to get them to sign away their rights.🧵
