Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

Does t this violate any agreement with the EU?

If we have tariffs for revenue, to nurture domestic industry, leverage and punishment and bribery, they can’t all be valid.

Based on the video shared by Univision (they've paired it with overhead from ABC), today's attack might be the most chemical gas we've seen feds launch into a neighborhood so far. The clouds are enormous/that's a lot of canisters. Completely engulfing cars and homes.
