When Donald Trump says who he really is, believe him.
He's raising your grocery prices.
He's violating your civil rights.
He's rolling back your health care.
He's taking away your education.
It's past time to stand up, push back, and be loud for America.

I guess it’s good for the networks to have all the Trump apparatchiks on to lie, so we can see how despicable they are. I admire the anchors who ask them tough questions. I couldn’t be in the same room as them. And if I were on a panel afterwards, all I would say is: “They lie. They lie. They lie.”

BREAKING: A witness who was just 5 feet from Alex Pretti filed an affidavit depicting what she saw.
She says he didn’t touch any of the officers and didn’t appear to be resisting. He was merely helping a woman who had been pepper-sprayed.
She’s is terrified that ICE is looking for her.

We call for a full and transparent investigation with state officials.

It's a fascist power grab. And Congress has to put a stop to it.
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

If you’re looking to understand who Alex Pretti was, look no further than this video where he honors a veteran who has passed away.
He was not a domestic terrorist.
He was a good man and a hero.

President Trump has crossed the line. Americans will not stand for masked, armed troops roaming their neighborhoods. ICE is not trained in this capacity and should not be on streets. This incident should be investigated immediately and not politicized by the President.

Trump told ICE agents they could use “whatever means necessary” in their crackdown. He effectively gave them a license to kill. This is on him.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
