He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it.
Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

Natl media/Dem leadership may not understand that a large portion of potential voters do not know what is going on. Similar to how they did not know the details behind the Dominion settlement, GA vote request or the fake electors during the election.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

On News Nation, Trump suggests that Biden didn’t defend him when the Islamic Republic of Iran was making threats to assassinate him.
That is false — the Biden White House told the Islamic Republic that if they attempted to assassinate Trump, the United States would consider it an act of war.

This is an excellent explainer. 👀 quote: “In rough terms, the workforce of CBP officers and Border Patrol agents commit crimes at an equal or even greater rate PER CAPITA than the population of undocumented immigrants do in the United States.”
If you are appalled at the tactics of ICE and CBP, you should be! They in fact are *NOT* trained for the work they're doing in America's interior right now—and they're scared of interacting with US citizens. That's a recipe for the exact disaster we see: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho...
