Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gave ICE more cops than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. Once the bill is fully implemented, nowhere in America will be safe from Trump's secret police state.

Can someone please explain to the guy speaking at the United Nations that he did not end 7 wars and everyone knows he is a liar. Oh, he does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

And please, ask him about the EPSTEIN files.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

Florida State University shooter:

Not a drag queen
Not a liberal
Not an immigrant
Not a woman
Not trans

It was a young white male republican conservative Christian.

Senate and House Republicans can stop to these tariffs.

They are deliberately choosing not to.

Every extra penny that comes out of your pocket on the checkout line, every dollar lost from your 401K, every layoff, will be THEIR fault.

Make sure they know that you will hold them responsible.

She works as a lab tech and union member at the University of Washington.

ICE abducted her @the Seattle airport and is ILLEGALLY detaining her.

Cory Booker is a true patriot. His filibuster should be televised on every channel. This is living history and is much bigger than Watergate.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

So, which is it?

If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained.

And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.

Here’s my ask of you today:

I want you to engage with EVERY article/post you see about Signalgate. Like, comment, share. Every one.

The reason why the media kept talking about Hillary’s emails was because every story & post about it got massive engagement.

Sound good?
