Actual he wasn’t. Trump wasn’t sworn in until January 20th so technically Biden was still president.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Really! Brutalizing people is doing a good job? Maybe in a fascist regime it is. Oh, wait America is now being led by a fascist.

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."

I wish him well. I also had the same treatment he is receiving and I have been cancer free now for over 2 years.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Appalling! Republicans should be ashamed for allowing this to happen. Don’t vote for them unless they do their f***ing job.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

@msnbc.com you should have started your morning show with the video of a tiny little girl with her tiny little backpack, IN HANDCUFFS, being loaded in a cop car. The rest of today should be flashing that video. Do you have the balls to do it? That would help your people to get off their asses

Once more Trump posts lies. They are tightening their existing export controls which only apply to rare earth minerals & related intellectual property & technologies. China has assured countries “these controls do not constitute export bans. Applications that meet the requirements will be approved,”

Sounds more like something kids would do. I’m going to hold my breath until you change. You are grown men still collecting huge salaries while workers are being laid off or not being paid. Grow up and be the bigger man or are you afraid of pissing off Orange Clown?

Perhaps if Congressmen didn’t get paid during the shutdown they might resolve this a little faster.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)
