Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Doubtful. If so, there would have been more than one comtempt charge in all of the Abrego Garcia proceedings.

It is a crime in the minds of the convicted felon and his personal revenge team led by Pam Bondi.

This is yet another lie from Pam Bondi.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3h

Bondi claims that cities aiding residents hurt by immigration raids is breaking the law

rwabhm.bsky.social @rwabhm.bsky.social · 3h

There's a reason he only does this on Fox News.

Of course, there's also a reason no other media outlet, other than OANN and NewsMax, interviews him.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

The same speech where he made a joke about being able to dodge bullets and not get murdered.

I thought they were prosecuting people who joked about Kirk's murder?

So if the appointment is invalid, does that not automatically negate her ability to bring such charges?

Can someone share some posts of these protest signs may out of "beautiful wood" please?

Not mention, the convicted felon apparently thinks protest signs are only made with poster board and paint/markers.

So 1% of the detainments in Chicago have been individuals with a criminal record.

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.
www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

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.

Wait ... so he's going to get prosecuted for this, right? They said they would prosecute people who celebrated/made fun of Charlie Kirk's death.

Hell no! They've planted so many right-wing bloggers and ass-kissers in the press pool that they would just be getting what they wanted - no tough questions and lots of BS praise.
