This is pure evil and shame on any American who supports it.
ICE detained this non verbal special needs man in Little Village.Chicago and they were extremely violent with him when he’s unable to speak to them or let them know he’s an American citizen! They’re going to be sued for this one and I pray he’s okay! 🤬🔥

Jesus I hope you're paying attention to the horror that is coming. They are literally telling you.
U.S. War Minister Hegseth: "We are not preparing for a period of peace; instead, we are shifting the Pentagon and the military-industrial base into an actual state of war. "The moment feels like 1939—or, I hope, 1981. Enemies are gathering, and threats are mounting. You feel

Insane thing to put in writing. Trump’s team genuinely believe his voters are too dumb to ever read a court docket. (Sadly, they probably aren’t wrong there…)
Donald Trump’s lawyers literally argued in court yesterday that feeding starving families undermines his ability to use hunger as political leverage for the shutdown. SICK!

In Texas, ICE is going to construction sites and arresting hard-working immigrants. This immigrant shows the officer a work permit, yet he’s still detained. This is Trump’s America. Get ready for those construction costs to skyrocket.

A president selling his own products in military stores violates 5 CFR §2635.702, which bans using the office for personal gain. It also violates the Hatch Act. Military exchanges are meant to serve troops, not a president’s business.
Forbes: The Trump Organization’s second-term cash grab has reached the military: Coast Guard stores are now selling Trump-branded wine and cider A DHS official confirmed it, saying, “The brave men and women of the USCG are pleased to be able to buy Trump wine and cider tax free”

They weren't terrorists. They weren't cartel members. They had no fentanyl. And they weren't coming here. They were transporting cocaine. To Trinidad. Most importantly, they were human beings. And they were murdered. By the government of the United States of America.
GÜIRIA, Venezuela (AP) — One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet. And a fourth was a down-on-his-luck bus driver.

This is sick.
"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

GOP has had control of the Arkansas budget for about 13 years. They’ve had a trifecta (Governor, House, Senate) for over a decade. No one but the very rich is better for it. They’ve blown your tax dollars on $19K lecterns, Disney Paris, and billion dollar prisons no one wants.
So Arkansas has 6.9 billion net available yet we want to spend 17% of that for a mega prison that will operate at 9 million a month and we currently pay counties 3 million a month. Where will the money come from? Yes taxes since 2022 for individuals are down from 4.9% to 3.9%

Incredible: Democrats completely called the GOP’s bluff. Now the GOP is running scared.
Democrats: Let’s reopen the government today, extend the health insurance subsidies for one year, then let the voters decide in the midterms if they want to extend them further or cancel them. Republicans: HELL NO!!!
