Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.

There is never a time when Duck à l'Orange is NOT lying.
He lied at the National Prayer Breakfast to take credit for a prisoner freed who was actually freed during Obama.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.
But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

The bravery and courage it took for each of these women to seek justice for the innocent girl they once were is heroic in nature and should be used to teach victims that they can be the voice that changes everything to make

Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop.
Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government.

If Duck l'Orange wins his lawsuit against the IRS for $10B, the Treasury Secretary say's WE will all pay the bill. Perhaps Americans should sue Duck l'Orange in a class action law suit for treason, failure to adhere to the Constitution, violations of the Emoluments Act, and other crimes.

Although ICE agents absolutely should not be wearing masks, acting like the brutality will stop because their faces are showing is quite naive. Police forces brutalize people all the time with their faces outs, name tags, badges and body cams. The only solution is no ICE.
