They argued for several weeks before deciding to extend the funding for ICE 2 weeks and the rest of these appropriations for a few months. They could have just cancelled ICE funds a month ago and then negotiated real budgets.
After weeks of relentless organizing, Congress voted to pass a 2-week continuing resolution.
Our organizing is helping to protect the lives of our neighbors. But we only bought ourselves 2 weeks.

Insanity is repeating the same attempt and getting the same result. His 4YO brain cannot let go of the fact that he is a loser.
"They're gonna find out the true winner of that state" -- Trump sounds like a complete lunatic talking about Fulton County, suggesting China may have rigged the 2020 election for Biden and that's why Tulsi Gabbard is involved

He refuses to admit that it is probable that he will lose when the voters make open and unthreatened choices. I hope that he loses in all those newly gerimandered precincts to prove we do not want him.
LLAMAS: Will you trust the results of the midterms if Republicans lose control of Congress?
TRUMP: I will, if the elections are honest. Look, I'm the last one that wants to complain.

We all have voter ID cards issued by the government. That is confirmation that we qualify. Nothing else should be required.
Trump: "If they don't want voter ID, that means they want to cheat. We can't allow cheating on elections. Now, if we need to put in federal controls as opposed to state control -- remember, they're really an agent, they're really accumulating the votes for who wins an election."

There is nobody closer to being an angel that an ICU nurse in a VA facility. Mango Mussolini doesn't even have an idea of the definition of a good person is.
Trump on Alex Pretti and Renee Good: "He was not an angel and she was not an angel. You know, you look at some tapes."

He figures, in so far as he can that by losing after stealing all the 2020 ballots and supressing blue state voting that he can claim it is onviously rigged and will declare martial law.
Going after guns and alienating his base is quite possibly the dumbest thing Trump could do.

Trump & Co shut off the equipment for stopping the Jan 6 mob from carrying a full armory of weapons including assault rifles. That means he must support his opponents carrying them, and this incident was even in a gun with allowed carry anywhere, unlike the limits of carrying in DC
Guns for conservatives not for liberals. Watch as the right bends the American public to this idea

It occurred to me (after viewing some of the bizarre aspects of the Epstein files) that Trump’s ballroom is just a mask (always masks) for a bunker (that may or may not be occupied by the most attractive of young healthy detainees).

Everyone is making money on ICE deportations. They ship people from place to place to make more money. They build more detainment facilities to make more money. They detain more people to make more money money money money.

There is no Bill of Rights in the USA 2025. We are living under a despot.
Not only is Trump's regime going after those protesting ICE's brutality.
Now they're going after the journalists who cover the protests.
It's an all-out assault on the First Amendment.

He has never heard of any of the raids in former wars. Even the Panama raid to do the same thing to Noriega was at least as sophisticated. How about Ben Laden v Seal Team 6? This is the stupidest sychophant to hold office in the media era.
Perhaps the deeply unqualified and unlikeable Hegseth meant that it was the most sophisticated thing that he was ever a part of?

We cannot put ourselves in the position of erasing history, just like the racists are. Keep the monuments, but put them in a museum setting with prominent plaques telling the accurate stories, including explanations of the attempts to glorify those who were trying to preserve slavery.
Across the nation, Americans recognize that the true legacy of the Confederacy was to promote white supremacy, and communities are taking action to remove symbols falsely glorifying Confederates 🤝.

The alphabet soup of thuggery is expanding. ERO vests on men in unmarked cars with lights were reported in Ogden Utah this morning. How many thug crews are there now and how many have been formed legally? ICE,CBP, IHC and now ERO. Any I missed?

Final proof that the FBI is now nothing but another Praetorian Guard doing whatever Trump wants. Does anyone think that their review of seized records will show the results that all the courts have?
The SPLC is concerned about the FBI raid of the Fulton County election center in Georgia.
“This is the latest attempt by the Trump administration to weaken the strength of our democracy by seeding doubt in our electoral process," said Derwyn Bunton, chief legal officer, SPLC. https://bit.ly/45BPmam

They are just dangling the carrot to keep us all at bay. They will never release those files unless someone finds a way to use an outside force to confiscate them. No part of the present government will do so.
