The Trump regime started the week by telling lies about Alex Pretti's murder.

Now, Trump has pivoted back to telling lies about the economy in order to change the subject.

But on both fronts, Trump's year back in office has been filled with broken promises. Watch. youtu.be/AcefFTXUcxU?...

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

The Trump administration went to the courts on Monday to defend their actions against Minneapolis, but the judges themselves didn’t react in any hurry. Ultimately, it has to be the citizenry that restrains Trump. From Robert Kuttner:

Since July, Trump’s immigration goons have illegally detained at least 2,300 people without bond or due process.

Meanwhile, two private prison corporations who donated millions to Trump are profiting off these blatant constitutional violations.

Dangerously unchecked surveillance and rights violations have been a throughline of DHS since the agency’s creation in the wake of the September 11th attacks. In particular, ICE and CBP have been responsible for countless civil liberties and digital rights violations. (1/3)www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
EFF Statement on ICE and CBP Violence
In the past year, ICE and CBP have descended into utter lawlessness, repeatedly refusing to exercise or submit to the democratic accountability required by the Constitution and our system of laws.

Congressional Republicans gave Trump a slush fund for ICE and CBP in the "Big Beautiful Bill." Tens of billions of dollars that is still usable even during a shutdown.

Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.
