Sometimes when I listen to Trump speak I think he is well on his way to dementia.
Other times I think he’s on something.
Then I think it’s just because his vocabulary is very limited and he struggling to read someone else’s words.
But most of the time I think it’s all 3.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.
Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.
Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

More shit Mike Johnson doesn’t know.
Q: What's your reaction to yesterday's purge of senior ICE officials? When is it time for Congress to do some oversight?
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details of that yet. I just heard about that, literally I was walking in.

If this Great Experiment fails, history will mark this terrible decision as the beginning of the end.
Every now and then I go back and read the Citizens United ruling to see if it is as unhinged as I thought, and every time I do that I see it is actually far more deranged than I remembered.
