"This guy is a convicted felon. I mean think about that – who's threatening to jail me... This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

ICE has bought access to an “all-in-one” surveillance tool that gives it updated location data from hundreds of millions of phones, putting us all at risk of being tracked.

The government can’t be allowed to surveil us simply for having a cell phone.

ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day

Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.

White House: Republican
House: Republican
Senate: Republican
Ann Wagner: Republican

Feels like this is on the Republicans and their clown car of a party that can’t govern. Imagine having full control of it all and blaming the minority party for closing the government? o

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Trump is using the resources of the American people to carry out crimes he has always wanted to. Trump is a depraved man who has long told us he has no value for life.

John Roberts gave Trump a license to murder Americans & a get out of jail free card. Republicans stand silent looking for votes.

Fake Moses is going to find himself in hell. Besides his pathological lying, his hatred of immigrants, denying the poor and sick the basics of life, and covering up for criminals and pedophiles, someone needs to remind him that Trump will have no say at the pearly gates.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

Trump would rather burn down the country than release the Epstein Files.

Over 80% of voters want it released.

Pelosi: "Democrats who created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, all of that, are now being asked to reject that so we can give a tax cut to the rich. We're not doing it. It isn't a question of, 'let's come back together so we can discuss it.' That isn't going to happen."

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.
