“Donald Trump, his running platform, was different to what the actuality of his presidency is.”

Donna Hughes, a green card holder and the wife of a U.S. veteran and Trump voter, spent FIVE months in ICE detention. It took Kristi Noem getting embarrassed in front of Congress for her to be released.

It’s not enough to beat MAGA at the ballot box, these criminals need held accountable to ensure this will never happen again.

Anyone asking for our vote needs to commit to prosecuting Trump and his cadre of corrupt conspirators for their crimes.

Lock Them Up: Send the Trump Administration to Prison
It's not enough to beat MAGA at the ballot box. There have to be consequences that keep this from ever happening again.

The U.S. is a failed state. Our institutions are being demolished from within so that they no longer function to uphold democracy--to the glee of our enemies who helped make it happen. After Trump is gone, we need to radically change our approach to Russia and other hostile powers.

My ultimate gift for Xmas would be putting Trump on an island that has wind turbines! Many of the islanders will have had plastic surgery so they look like Obama. Everyday others on the island will line up to shake his hand. This isolated island won't have a golf course & absolutely no McDonald's. 🎅🏻

Epstein survivors are condemning the Trump Justice Department as having "violated the law" — both by "withholding massive quantities of documents, and by failing to redact survivor identities."

I have no idea if I'm a so-called "Heritage American" in the racist parlance of the rightwing. I have no clue what my genealogy is. But if I made such a claim, these Nazis would probably move to another attack instead of addressing it. And that's the point. It's the whiteness, not the "heritage."
Vivek Ramaswamy thought all he had to do was play their game, and he'd be fully accepted into the club. He's finding out the hard way that the only reason that club existed in the first place was to keep him out.

“What's happening to CBS is a terrible embarrassment and if execs think they can build shareholder value by avoiding journalism that might offend the Mad King they are about to learn a tough lesson. This is still America and we don’t enjoy bullshit like this.”

Agents illegally detained dozens of US citizens and demanded that they prove their citizenship. We need to defend our private property rights against trespassing government agents.

Horrifying
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Bah humbug! Trump has never liked wind turbines. Maybe because he imagines they'll blow his comb over? Anyway, he has said in the past he prefers coal. I hope he receives a lot of coal from Santa!
The Trump administration pauses wind projects off New England, New York and Virginia
An Interior Department statement did not detail the national security risks. It's the administration's latest pus to hobble offshore wind and limit renewable energy sources.

How can an American prove their citizenship to aggressive masked agents who accost them on the street? Without “papers,” their freedom is at the whim of the agents. And even with “papers,” a growing amount of evidence shows their swift return to freedom is no guarantee.

Opinion | Trump has made America into a ‘papers, please’ country — and U.S. citizens are not exempt
Anthony L. Fisher: U.S. citizens have the right to not be manhandled in the streets by masked agents of the state. But that’s not how it’s working in Trump’s America.

CBS was meant to air tonight an episode of 60 minutes on the CECOT in El Salvador but decided to pull out the program at the last minute. This center is known for the inhumane treatment of its inmates. Many ICE detainees end up deported there.
