There have been ICE raids in Texas, mainly in its major cities. After seeing neighborhood patrols instituted in California, it's time to do the same in Texas. Because it's Texas, it needs to go a step farther, that is, include armed patrols.

One major reason for this is that the Supreme Court essentially said that if the president determines it's for national security, that can't be questioned and he can do anything he wants under that banner, and the only thing anyone can do to stop him is to impeach and remove from office. USA! USA!
I hope it's clear to everyone by now that Trump's play over and over again is to yell "National Security!" and pretend as though that gives him the right to act like a dictator

I used to be a believer in top tax rates which were often--particularly by the right--described as "confiscatory."
But I have seen the error of my ways and no longer want confiscatory tax rates which could hinder true economic growth.
I have learned my lesson and want PUNITIVE top tax rates. 😼

People die due to lack of access to health care. I don't know how it could be any clearer that the health care insurance market is a total failure.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
