The Republican agenda seems to be:
1. Serve the billionaires.
2. Hide the Epstein list.
3. Kick 22 million Americans off healthcare.

We’ll have to build new prisons to house all the ICE Gestapo in 2029.

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 3d

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.
