“The moment transcends politics; we’re at a moral inflection point that calls for clarity in our vision and in our language. Under Trump, the “border control” budget has ballooned to $170 billion…It’s time we call this what it is: Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Militia.”

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

ICE should never have been in Minneapolis in the first place. This admin wants to act like Nicole Good’s death started the day she was shot. BS. It started with Trump unleashing PTSD riddled men…carrying weapons…in the streets of America.

Meet Chad Mizelle, the former third-in-command at Trump's DOJ.

His financial disclosures were shielded from the public during his time in the administration.

To our knowledge, we are the first to report on his conflicts of interest now.

Dems can just clip the "we took the freedom of speech away" and make an ad
Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

If you think that the cancellation of research in “Democratic states” has no impact on people in Red States then you don’t know how the process works. Don’t buy into a superficial understanding of the consequences of these actions.

and just to remind folks, after the assassin killed the state rep, her husband and dog, he shot another state rep and his wife. He had a list of 90 people. But Trump didn't care, and Utah Senator Mike Lee made jokes.
