So, instead of having legal immigrants working, paying taxes, and contributing significantly to our GDP, we will lock them up in concentration camps at a cost of $700 per day per person. This is called fiscal conservatism. It's more like a con that serves the wealthy and tortures the poor.
Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.
Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

How much more proof does anyone need that Republicans work exclusively for the very wealthy?
I don't want to hear a conservative talk about the "rule of law" ever again.

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and prosecute political opponents while he threatens to take over elections, Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

Feldman: ICE isn’t just breaking the law. It’s trying to rewrite it.
It amounts to a sweeping authorization for agents to roam the streets, grab anyone they want, and arrest and detain them.

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.
There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.
