The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.
He said this out loud.

When you look at Trump's cratering immigration numbers, remember what Zohran Mamdani was already doing three months ago — while the rest of the Democratic party was still twiddling their thumbs on detaining student protestors and giving ICE more power:
Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion.
Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts.
And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B.
We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Sotomayor says the Trump DOJ's position is that it can ship off citizens and immigrants alike to El Salvador then detain them indefinitely without judicial review.
"History is no stranger to such lawless regimes, but
this Nation’s system of laws is designed to prevent, not enable, their rise."

P.S. If you think this was spontaneous, it wasn't. The amount of material @booker.senate.gov has researched and prepared is staggering. This is a coordinated effort and more of what we need to see from Dems.

Periodic reminder that ICE administrative warrants do NOT give ICE (or anyone else) legal authority to enter your home (or anywhere not open to the public) without your consent.
Unless law enforcement has a JUDICIAL WARRANT, signed by a judge, they do not have a legal right to nonconsensual entry.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
