It’s the same as going to war with Europe because he didn’t win a Golden Globe and he doesn’t get it.

They’ve had their chance. It’s time for new leadership.
Schumer and Jeffries must step down from leadership if we have any hope to reform this country.
They are all part of the same club. They work for the corporate donors and all they want is restoration.
They won't fight b/c it's not in their interest.
It's so clear and yet still...

ICE has become a Trojan horse for rabid Nazis, bloodthirsty Nationalists and gun-toting Nitwits.
People are dying in their custody. Americans are being murdered.
If democrats think rigorous training will fix what amounts to a domestic terror group, they have not been paying attention.

If you’re a Democrat thinking about running for president in 2028 and you don’t believe calling to abolish ICE is a line in the sand for Democratic voters, you’re done before you even begin. This isn’t something that can be fixed. It’s broken and it needs to be torn down to the ground.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities
This is exactly the opposite.
Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but the Insurrection Act isn’t the same as “martial law.” It authorizes the molitary to engage in civil law enforcement. And not clear that even then, whether they can enforce state criminal laws

I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

This is a corrupt, politically motivated attack on the Federal Reserve.
The strict independence of the Fed has been paramount to the stability of the global economy for over a century, which will collapse if Trump moves to seize control of it.
