I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M WATCHING INTERVIEWS OF CITY MAYORS TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY ARE COORDINATING WITH OTHER MAYORS TO DISCUSS HOW TO PROTECT THEIR RESIDENTS FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I KNOW WE ARE "USED TO IT" BUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

Whatever is in the files will bring down this administration. That much is evident. They are protecting men who raped children. Because they are those men. It all unravels with the files made public. Keep pushing.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Jeffries: This is the second time it's been shut down under Donald Trump, and he's nowhere to be found. He's got time to be on the golf course, but apparently doesn't have time to sit down with Democrats to reopen the government.

Someone at one of these oversight hearings should ask Bondi or Patel, "Is it true there is a photograph of very young girls pointing and laughing at a stain on Trump's pants." Let's see what insult from the slam book that activates.

His face has changed a lot in the past year and not for the better. His ugly hate shines through. He needs to be locked up for everyone’s protection.

He thinks he’s such a tough guy - he’s nothing but a cowardly bully. Pritzker and Brandon Johnson could chew him up and spit him out.

It is insane to not pay our troops.

Democrats are here. Republicans need to come back from their vacation, work with us, and we need to pay our troops.

IN THIS DESPICABLE, UNCONSTITUTIONAL NO KNOCK RAID of innocent American Citizens ( though NOT the type Trump/Miller want in USA due to skin tone ), ICE has made 130 families HOMELESS, bankrupted the owner of complex, as they destroyed the building/units nearly beyond repair. AND STOLE ALL VALUABLES!

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

Hoping these federal agents are held accountable, breaking the law should have real consequences. A federal judge has ruled that federal immigration agents illegally arrested more than two dozen people.
