More than 5,000 federal employees have received layoff notices. We’re working to ensure that the administration isn’t using state voter rolls to target registered Democrats for termination. More details soon.

Federal employees across the government are now receiving layoff notices, a devastating outcome of Trump’s political games. It’s outrageous that he would use people’s livelihoods as pawns to “score political points”.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

Democrats need snowplow & a swat team. If they are denied, go in like a drug raid. When MAGAS scream, reply: "We have actionable intelligence that civil rights violations ARE happening in this facility. It is our Constitutional duty to investigate. If we are further denied, we will do it again."

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

I think the entire catalog of scare tactics is in their vocabulary. They're currently trying to manufacture a boogeyman out of Antifa. Perhaps it's not an analog repeat, but it sure rhymes in my view.

Kristi Noem even complaining that ICE agents aren't being allowed on private property is inappropriate. We have a 3rd amendment for a reason. We do not owe government employees with gun a space in our homes or businesses when they aren't even paying customers!

Would it shock me if the phone call was just “look, just pause long enough for me to get the Nobel Peace Prize and then you can go back to your genocide and we’ll keep paying for it”

No. No it would not.
