This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

ICU nurse fatally shot by Border Patrol in Minneapolis cared for veterans
Alex Pretti was kind and didn’t often discuss politics, friends and colleagues said. His family sharply disputed the Trump administration’s version of the shooting.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

“IT’S COLD, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING?” is a common response to winter weather. But in certain patterns, climate change enhances the presence of cold in the US. This is one of those times. Here’s how… 1/

32 people died in ICE custody last year — the agency’s deadliest year in over two decades.
Meanwhile, private prison corporations that are building and overseeing ICE detention centers are raking it in.

The President’s military operation in Venezuela was conducted with zero evidence of threat and zero plan for the day after. Congress should have and must be notified if this Administration continues with further military action in Venezuela.

This Administration’s large scale military operation in Venezuela does nothing to make our country safer and was conducted without a credible threat to U.S. Security. That’s why I support Congress’s efforts to reclaim its constitutional authorities.

“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

I for one am shocked that the president who renamed it the “Department of War” has, in fact, been a warmonger.
Trump revealed his New Year's resolution, "Peace. Peace on Earth.”
U.S. forces conducted or were involved in military strikes in seven (7) places during 2025.
These include:
Yemen, Iran, Somalia, Iraq, Syria, Nigeria and Venezuela.
Trump’s comments about being a “peacemaker” are delusional.

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?
There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign.
Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world.
This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

We are sure it’s just a coincidence, but today is the statuatory date for the DOJ to explain its redactions in the Epstein file productions.
