Donald Trump’s immediate family is making a dizzying sum of money that would be unimaginable without his Presidencies, including profits from overseas deals and at least five different crypto ventures. nyer.cm/zB0NNxq

What we see happening in real time is actually part of Martial Law. Oh, it hasn’t been officially declared, but his federal takeover plans for cities across the nation…under the cloak of “attacking crime,” is pre-positioning for when he does. It will happen prior to the November elections. Watch.

This sentence is a disgrace.
They mean to be as insulting to Black people, as dismissive of our lives, as resistance to our status as full citizens in this country as they can be.

It should also be crystal clear that the Republican Party wouldn’t have created such a militarized secret police force and put it under the control of Donald Fucking Trump if they ever expected to face another election.
I hope everyone realizes ICE does not need such a gargantuan budget to go after “illegal aliens.”
This is the American Gestapo for real, and they’re going to be used against anyone who resists the police state.

“Congress” didn’t pass this murder budget.
Republicans did it.
Republicans did it without a single Democratic vote in the House, without a single Democratic vote in the Senate.
Be precise and give, uh, credit where credit is due

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Lisa Murkowski voted YES on the bill.
The three Republican NO votes:

Actually what Americans just saw today was a prominent Republican US Senator announce he is quitting because he knows this budget is going to hurt millions of people and he was repeatedly threatened by the president and his cult for telling the truth about it.

Thom Tillis is out. No matter which MAGA loyalist Trump picks, I’m the only Democrat in this race and I’m ready to win.
In 2022 I flipped a red seat in Congress, and now I’m running for US Senate to fight for North Carolina working families who Trump has left behind.

There's no declaration of war, and no AUMF that covers this. Entering this war is wrong on the merits; we had a perfectly peaceful way to address Iran's nuclear program. It's also unlawful. A democratic republic should not be able to enter a war of choice on one man's say-so.
The US has hust dropped bombs on three Iranian nuclear sites, according to Trump, bringing American military forces into Israel’s war with Iran.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.
