I guess the stroke did affect him seriously after all. I wish him a recovery, and if needed resign and recover from home.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Pretty wild that the Republican Party apparently now hates Ronald Reagan — and everything he stood for — and is actively trying to destroy his actual legacy.

Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Texas, County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers: “We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

Trump’s DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challeng...

The Trump administration’s use of Guantánamo Bay to detain immigrants isn't just cruel — it's illegal.

The government can't weaponize offshore bases to violate people's rights.

Trump Official Says U.S. Can House Migrants at All of Its Overseas Bases

A Justice Department lawyer made the claim in response to a challenge to the administration’s use of the base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to hold detainees designated for deportation.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:
