Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

ICE Using Air Passenger Lists For Kidnapping
TSA is providing domestic passenger lists in real time to ICE.
They're using the names of travelers to kidnap people.
Until now, ICE has historically avoided interfering with domestic travel.

Here's Greg Bovino lying and saying the US citizen arrested by unidentified ICE agents in MN should have been carrying "immigrantion documents per the INA", which is FALSE.
The INA (Immigration and Nationality Act) does NOT require U.S. citizens to carry proof of citizenship.

The “carry your papers” rule (8 U.S.C. §1304(e)) applies to aliens - the statute’s word, not mine. In this context, "aliens" = non-citizens.

On June 6th, the first day of Trump's Invasion of Los Angeles, I was teargassed for the crime of handing out water at an anti-ICE protest.
My story isn't unique. 1000s of protestors & journalists were brutalized for standing up against fascism.
Join us tomorrow to demand reform & accountability.

#AbolishICE instead provide #UniversalHealthcare
Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

I don’t think this is a question you can answer without also knowing when it happens and how unpopular he is. Right now I think you can make the case that it could be like when Kirk died, but who knows when six months from now looks like.
When it ultimately happens do you think the collective joy will be squelched by the right wing wrath machine crying for decorum and slinging legislative and other forms of retribution or will the joy win out
