JFC! What will it take?

I can’t believe Trump just promised Argentina another $20 billion, bringing the total to $40 billion.

American farmers better be paying attention and rethink their unwavering support for the man.

🔥 ZOHRAN ON FOX: "I want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Adams who will call you to stay out of jail… a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election… I’ll be a mayor ready to speak at any time to lower the cost of living.“

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Well-known internet personality Robby Roadsteamer makes fun of ICE and calls them Nazis. They prove his point & come out to arrest him for trespassing after shoving him over the property line.

Just like Russia, if you protest the regime, men with guns come to take you away.

Image shows a group of farmworkers harvesting crops in a field.

In the upper-right corner, there’s a smaller image of a man with a gray beard and hat, looking toward the camera.

Overlaid text reads:

“Why are they talking about sending the military to blue states to ‘round up’ immigrants, when the HIGHEST numbers of undocumented immigrants are in red states like Texas and Florida?

SERIOUS QUESTION!”

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

LA County declared a state of emergency to aid residents impacted by immigration raids. "We have entire families who are destitute because their fathers or mothers have been taken from their work places and they have no way to pay their rent or put food on their table," a board supervisor said.

They cut your health care so they could build themselves a palace

Image description:

A richly decorated ballroom filled with lavishly set round tables and gold-colored chairs. The ceiling is adorned with ornate chandeliers and intricate gilded details. The image conveys luxury and excess.

Bold black text overlays the opulent background, contrasting the grandeur of the setting with the message about cutting healthcare funding for personal gain.
