I can’t believe such a wretched, morbidly obese, drug addicted, deviant, illiterate, sexual predator found the secret sauce to turn half our country into absolute lunatics. Turning a blind eye daily to the most rampant corruption in American history as they genuflect before him.

Tl;dr: 250,000 more Minnesotans at risk of devastating medical bills, higher energy prices, rural hospital closures, and longer ambulance wait times.
None of this is worth a tax cut for billionaires. Congress needs to reject this bill.

It is one thing to read and hear about people being kidnapped, far different to actually see it.
These images must be seen, must be shared.
The world needs to know how real and rampant it is now in America.

Most nabbed in L.A. raids were men with no criminal conviction, picked up off the street
The Trump administration claimed the sweeps were aimed at criminals, but data shows otherwise.

Self-deportation isn’t a thing. ICE forced this Hawaiʻi resident to leave the country.
He’s lived in the US for nearly 50 years, served in the military, received a Purple Heart for being shot in combat, but is being forced to leave for a drug offense.
