Jason Houser, former ICE Chief of Staff: “This Isn’t Crisis Response. It’s Crisis Construction.”

"Immigration enforcement has become the administration’s primary political weapon — not to solve problems, but to manufacture fear, provoke outrage and stage an illusion of control."

Trump is saying the quiet part out loud: he sent a $20B taxpayer-financed bailout to help his far-right buddy Milei cling to power.

Meanwhile our government is shut down, public servants aren't getting paid & we're barreling toward a Trump-made health care crisis. Sounds like Argentina First to me.

Trump on Milei: "If he loses, we will not be generous with Argentina."

Boston is not on Newsweek's list of 30 U.S. cities with at least 100,000 residents that had the highest number of crimes against people, per 100,000, according to the latest FBI data report. Most cities on the list are from the red states.

Even the soulless Supreme Court thinks Alex Jones is a piece of shit. He better pay the Sandy Hook families for causing so much pain.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

My opponent is still opposed to same-sex marriage. She thinks it’s okay for Virginians to be fired for being gay. And when confronted about it on the debate stage, she doubled down.

Winsome Earle-Sears is too extreme for Virginia. Watch our new ad 🎬:

I am so relieved the hostages have been released but we need everyone to remember that Netanyahu & Trump stalled the negotiations before the 2024 elections to benefit themselves.

To be fair, President Biden initiated the ceasefire but it was challenging because Netanyahu wanted Trump to win the election. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Coffee prices are out of control!

Main reason - Trump imposed a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports in July, adding to the economic challenges faced by companies already struggling to cover the blanket 10% tariff imposed by U.S. trading partners in April.

Do you have a child w/ special education needs? The fascist regime doesn’t care about your child.

In the 2022-2023 school year, 7.5 million students ages 3-21 in the U.S. received special ed services, which represented about 15% of all public school students.

Pastor Philip Thornton of Legacy Faith Church in Susquehanna Township in PA is under fire for bringing an AR-15 style rifle to church & pointing it at churchgoers while telling them to “overwhelm your enemy with a violent action of faith.”

He said it was unloaded.
