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.

Wait one damn minute‼️

I know Lisa Murkowski isn’t up on her high horse talking about the lack of trust between Republicans and Democrats after she cast the deciding “Yes” on the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill and slipped in backroom deals for Alaska.

She’s part of the problem & needs to own it!

"The Pentagon should not fear scrutiny by the press corps that walks its halls. It should welcome it and rise to it. In a free country, the Army defends the people—and the press ensures the people know what is being done in their name." www.thebulwark.com/p/locking-do...

Locking Down the Pentagon Press Is Dangerous

Pete Hegseth’s proposed restrictions would harm the people whom both the military and the press are meant to serve.

DISGUSTING!

The official Republican Party youth group was just caught idolizing nazis and praising Hitler!

This FILTH has no place in America. Every Republican official in America must IMMEDIATELY and unequivocally condemn this extremist group.

You are correct. We've allowed the vermin to multiply and infect every level of the government and judiciary. We're well past the "vote them out" phase.

It's time to tent this country, and destroy the infestation. Nothing else will save the good old US of A.

You know what?

These idiots are planning to NEVER LEAVE.

Elections will be a joke.

They are here to stay, well beyond 2026.

They're in and they're not going anywhere -- unless removed forcibly, physically and bodily.

It's that serious.

We have a lawless, criminal enterprise at the helm.

They are planning to never leave.

They have the power and they are not going to give it up.

Judicial rulings won't do it.

Elections won't do it.

Institutional processes won't do it.

A people's rebellion won't do it.

It must be FORCE.

Since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Republicans have spent a great deal of time and energy arguing that Democrats and Democratic rhetoric are fueling political violence. No Kings provides a convenient and useful target. But not an honest one.
