This is totally underreported. Trump is not just going after "illegals." He's going after people who were here legally, by changing their status.

These are people who entered the US the right way, and never broke a law. Now they are subject to Trump's whim, his ICE goons, and inhuman detention.
Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas.

Remember: these are people who entered the country legally.

Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

Find you a man whose bone-sawed his journalistic opposition, and you can have Trump look as pleased as this.
I have never seen Trump looking genuinely delighted before

Wow. Trump has absolutely no chance of getting into heaven. It’s going to be really hot where he will spend eternity. 🔥🔥🔥

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Trump isn’t planning to cancel the midterm elections. He’s banking on his enablers on SCOTUS to help him steal them.

Biden was NOT “a mean SOB,” nor “a bad guy.” It’s all projection as Trump shows HE is the bad guy, despicable and devoid of a moral compass every single day.
The double standards are galling.

This is the “pro-life” Republican party’s favorite news program?
Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them.

And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.

So, in other words, it's taking a long time to redact all the Republicans from the Epstein Files because there are so many of them. Otherwise, they would have already been released.
DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt admitted that the government will "redact every republican" and "leave all the liberal, democratic people” on the Epstein client list.

He also said Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum securithy prison as "a benefit to keep her mouth shut."

So....

1)The state of Florida spent >$200 million to build the facility it calls "Alligator Alcatraz"

2) It opened in early July, christened by Trump.

3) Now it is closing, due to a judge's order.

4) It will cost $20 million to dismantle the center, which was used for about 2 months.

Release all of the Epstein Files with all the names of people who raped and/or helped traffic underage girls. Only leave out the victims names. Hold all the pedophiles and traffickers accountable.

Ron Wyden: I can't believe that he said it, but recently, a Treasury Secretary openly bragged about plans to use a back door to privatize Social Security and hand the benefits of working families over to those folks on Wall Street.

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.

This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

The Hegseth brothers (Pete and his younger brother Phil, a top adviser to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and DHS's liason to the Pentagon) may be collaborating to pressure Pentagon brass to get more involved in domestic law enforcement.

Seems like Dems should take an interest in that.
The DHS memo lays out the agenda for a July 21 meeting among top level officials from DHS and Defense Department. It was authored by Philip Hegseth (yes, he's Pete Hegseth's brother), a top adviser to DHS Sec Kristi Noem and liason to the Pentagon.

If you have a Republican representative, you should call their office each and every day demanding that either they hold Trump accountable or you will in the midterms.

They want to avoid accountability. Make it clear that’s not an option.
