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..

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

4 Dead, 20 Injured in a South Carolina Bar.
3 shootings in Mississippi leave 6 dead and 10 injured.

And Taco Tits is sending ICE and the Military to Portland and Chicago. Pay attention, people, this isn't about stopping crime, it's about setting up for Martial law and stopping elections.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "There aren't Democrat workers or agencies and Republican agencies. That's ridiculous...These are people with families and they have to pay mortgages and rent. They have to put food on the table...They do not have to do this. They do not have to punish people."
