Ugly, illegal and immoral. I’m talking about ICE, in case you were wondering.
ICE shot pepper balls into the head, face, torso, and legs of Reverend David Black in Chicago.
If they're not dropping from the sky into black and brown neighborhoods, and dragging their children outside, naked, and zip-tying toddlers, then they're shooting women.

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse.
Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says
Tax cuts for the wealthy didn't boost the economies of the U.S. and 17 other countries — but they did worsen income inequality.

Jake Tapper's ratings are at their lowest point in a decade. This is what happens when you betray your audience in hopes you can sell some books to Trump supporters (a bad strategy since they won't read it and hated you to begin with)
Jake Tapper’s CNN show hits lowest ratings since 2015 despite Biden book buzz
“The Lead with Jake Tapper” wasn’t the only CNN offering to struggle, as the network had its second-worst month ever in the demo across both total day and primetime during May.

Devastating. The cowardice and the betrayal of an incomparable news brand.
Scoop: CBS News pulled a "60 Minutes" segment that focused on job losses at the Internal Revenue Service hours before it was scheduled to air, replacing it with a feature story on Cajun music.

As a person who has lost family members to cancer, I find the attacks against & ignorant statements about President Biden’s cancer disgusting. I never want to hear another proclamation for prayers or use of God for self-righteousness again. When people show you who they are, believe them—the devil.
