How are the masked ICE agents arresting people off the streets different from these guys I've filmed? Proud Boys, Blood Tribe, Patriot Front, Boogalo Boyz?

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

DOGE is plotting to cut Social Security phone support, according to leaked memo provided to Axios.

The richest man in the word going after grandparents trying to get access to their own money is vile.

Precisely.
If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

🚨🚨 The funding bill being proposed to extend gov operations is dangerous.

“…it could grant Trump expanded authority to redirect funds between programs at his discretion… it could enable the administration’s reshaping of federal priorities without congressional approval.”

Where does the accumulated debt of this country come from?

It comes from Republican presidents.

So much for Republicans being the party of "fiscal responsibility"; they will gladly drive up the debt if it means they can pass a Tax Scam for their billionaire friends and corporations.

FOTUS has ordered the CDC, NIH, HHS and FDA to stop all daily and weekly notifications, including emergency bulletins and scientific reports.

Because what better way to cover up any incoming pandemics then to just ignore them happening, right?

Didn’t we do this once before?

BREAKING: In an unprecedented move, more than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services.

It's the first time in history that Nobel laureates have come together to oppose a Cabinet choice.

Big picture—there isn’t a single Trump nominee who would ever, under any circumstances, be nominated for any position in a White House administration by anyone else on this planet.

But sure, let’s talk about what they have in common.
President-elect Trump’s picks for his cabinet and other senior-level positions in his administration are connected in several ways. See some of the links between more than 60 potential members of the incoming administration: nyti.ms/4gebQB6
