Consider these goons know nothing about the consequences - they aren't intelligent or trained in their weaponry.

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.

I’m paying attention, just so I can live long enough to see Trump, Miller, Noem, Bondi, and Homan behind bars. Then there are the ICE KKK agents who also need to arrested for crimes against the states.

He’s making “plans” for enriching (grifting) himself though. He doesn’t care about nobody else, not even his loyalists or his cult - in the end.

Yep. Also, trump learnt from his mentor, mob lawyer Roy Cohn who's tactic it was always to go on the counterattack and deny, deny, deny everything.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

He finally got the election-denying MAGA A.G. he always dreamed of. Bondi was openly partisan, scornful & highly combative, her non-answers dripping with disdain. Very telling when she was asked if she'd seen the photos of her boss "with half-naked young women." PATHETIC

Greta Thunberg is not in the Epstein files, but Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump are.

Swearing in an elected member should be automatic, within 7 days, written in stone, the end, no delays, no excuses.

If the speaker fails to perform this duty, he/she should be automatically removed, no need for a vote, it's just the law.

Let’s try this again it’s a new day. I’m bewildered that no one has answered.

Dear MAGA: why would Donald consider pardoning Maxwell, a sex trafficker for Epstein? Again a reminder, Biden is not president and you guys called for the release of the files repeatedly. So… why?

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.

The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel).

"The party of small government,” folks.

I mean, is there any newspaper that is less trusted today vs a year ago? Does anyone think their coverage is "riveting"? He can't actually believe this, right?
