happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

For the record Nigel Farage was asked about Reform UK’s position on compensation for WASPI women and his response was “I’m sorry, it’s done, it’s over. It’s not going to get changed.”

Jenrick saying he's "put aside personal ambition" too join Reform is the single most shameless statement I've ever heard.
If he "put aside personal ambition" he'd disappear. That's all there is.
