Trump hosted a dinner this week for donors to his White House ballroom project.

Now he's heading to Mar-a-Lago to host a $1 million-per-person dinner for his super PAC.

Meanwhile, 700,000 federal employees are furloughed, with nearly as many working without pay due to his government shutdown.

Trump's thugs aren't just abducting undocumented immigrants.

More than 170 American citizens — including children — have been detained and assaulted by ICE since he took office.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

Were these 2 not drug smugglers, in which case Trump killed their innocent companions?

Were if they were drug smugglers AND if it's ok to kill foreigners from the air based on a hunch, then why didn't Trump just have them executed?

This immoral & illegal murdering has to stop.

We need to be talking loud enough to not cede the fucking narrative to Trump and his goons.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.
