They said Dems would take your beef
Never happened
That they'd take your car
Never happened
Your stove, your beer, your genitals, and your freedom
And your guns
And now the guy who had the biggest platform to tell those lies says carrying a gun in America makes you a criminal

Do you see it now?

There Is No Bigger Kitchen-Table Issue Than ICE Violence

If Democrats wants to ease the affordability crisis, they’ll campaign on reining in the paramilitary force that’s making everything more expensive.

There is an extremely moving moment in Mandy Patinkin’s Yiddish version of Paul Simon’s ‘American Tune’ in which he says “di Statue of Liberty” and you are reminded of how profound and universal and powerful that phrase was to so many of the huddled masses. I’ve been thinking about it constantly:

Garcia: "Trump is leading a WH coverup right now of the Epstein files, and we all know Epstein himself said Trump was his best friend for over 10 years. It is shameful, illegal & unconstitutional that the DOJ has released 1% of the files. Where is the pressure to get Pam Bondi to release the files?"

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

The past 11 years have been the warmest since records began, with the past three topping the leader board. Climate researchers expect 2026 to be another record-breaker

The Department of Justice's effort to gain access to you sensitive personal information continues. DOJ wants this data to be able to suppress the vote and subvert election results next Fall. They are suing 24 states to gain access. My law firm and I are fighting them in court in every one of them.

This is what happens when untrained ICE agents who meet the lowest possible standards are sent to play action hero.

A U.S. citizen was shot & killed by ICE in Minneapolis.

📌 Eyewitnesses, including a city councilman, say police shot the person in the head. That person is now dead.

Read that again

FOLKS IN MINNEAPOLIS:

SAVE all videos & photos from today. They will be valuable to prove the ICE agent --- who had time to move & re-position himself to the side of the victim's car to shoot into the driver's side window --- was not in reasonable fear of imminent serious physical injury or death.

Two things were happening as Trump decided to launch his imperial strike on Venezuela. One was the DOJ filing w/the court explanations for their redactions in the Epstein files they released. The other was Jim Jordan’s release of the transcript of Jack Smith’s testimony.

So I read the transcript.

Here are some choice quotes from Jack Smith’s testimony about the conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

“..the evidence made clear that President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy.”

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

I used to think they were all nuts when they’d carry on non-stop about deep state cabals, powerful pedophile rings and highly connected sex traffickers.

It turns out they knew exactly what they were talking about.

They were talking about themselves.

Disgusting and horrible
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.
