The deficit and national debt is going to absolutely explode over the next year because of the Republican budget. I have no problem being one of the only Democrats continuing to talk about that.

When grand juries have been impaneled to hear testimony and evidence on the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti, then we can begin to talk about the Trump admin doing something tangible. Until that, all this is just PR damage control that only the extremely naive will fall for.

Look at this walking puss sac Wayne Ivey. Just another subpar white man in a job he was never qualified for. Instead of leading he runs his mouth and threatens his own citizens. Fuck Wayne Ivey because of his mental illness you can write off the ENTIRE Brevard County Sheriff's office as well.

Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

It seems to me that covering the faces of ICE agents has nothing to do with doxxing, but making prosecution more difficult. Pretti and Goode families should sue Bovino, Noem, Miller, Bondi, Leavitt, FOX and the other ICE mouthpieces for slander in the amount of billions of dollars.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment
"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.
At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."
