Early morning on the farm, the sun is just cresting the treeline, showering the goat pasture in golden rays of light. The nearby by trees radiate in sunrise hues, tickled by sunbeams.

🧵Today, a 9th Circuit panel, including 2 Trump appointees, will hear arguments on whether Trump has unchecked power to deploy troops to U.S. cities. At issue: his attempt to send the National Guard to Portland, despite Judge Immergut (also Trump-appointed) ruling the move “untethered to the facts.”

Where are the criminals? I would say in the President’s Cabinet. Did you know 71% of ICE detainees haven’t been convicted of crimes? Read abt what has been sacrificed for “our” safety, like FBI agents who aren’t dealing w/ drugs, terrorism & more.
Grifters gotta grift!

71% of immigrants in detention have no criminal convictions.

Yet still, 1 in 4 FBI agents have been pulled from cybercrimes, drug trafficking & anti-terrorism assignments to do immigration enforcement. This will hurt our national security.

A quarter of FBI agents are assigned to immigration enforcement, per FBI data

Nearly a quarter of FBI agents are currently assigned to immigration enforcement, with the number climbing above 40 percent in the bureau’s largest field offices.

They are a Trojan horse, destroying our democracy from within…by their awful and even traitorous decisions, and our own Congress confirmed them, even after they lied under oath at their confirmation hearings.

New in PN: Trump is the insurrection

"It’s a wild assault on state sovereignty, bringing us ever closer to the brink of civil war. This is despotism, & whatever chaos & violence is about to be unleashed lies squarely on the robed shoulders of Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, & Barrett."

Trump is the insurrection

And the Supreme Court's conservatives are his shock troops.

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.
