US Antifa presidents, generals and military are the heros. Anti-Antifas were yesterday's Nazis and are today's MAGA.

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

Former wrestling executive, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, announced Friday that 460 Education Department employees were just now laid off— including those who work in Special Education.

But in June, she said students with disabilities would be protected under her watch.

At this critical juncture in our society, we need Democrats to understand the only Democratic president to serve three terms did so not by tripping over themselves rushing to the center, but by firmly standing on the Left.

The modern DNC would shut out FDR harder than Bernie. This must change.

This is illegal and the fact that ICE is doing this regularly makes them a criminal organization.

Good old American racism like we used to have, this is what MAGA always wanted. We as a nation made laws to stop this exact behavior.

Holding someone for 3 days is a pattern. I heard 3 days=first benchmark for a bounty. Incarceration is a money maker in for profit prison so 3 days=$ for the system.

That the Nobel Peach Prize was *not* awarded to thirsty Donald Trump makes it wonderful. That it was awarded to a woman makes it even better. That she is from a country Trump slanders makes it even better. That it was awarded for promoting democracy, something Trump undermines, makes it perfection.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Trump callously says that "some people" don't deserve back pay during the government shutdown. Those "people" are DEMOCRATS and they DO deserve pay whether you agree with them or not!! They did a job, they deserve to be paid! #StiffUpperLipOfHiltler

Rayfield: When Trump learned that this was a judge who was appointed by him, he said he wasn’t served well.

To have any president or any politician in America say a judge is not serving them—words can’t even describe how backwards that is.

Phang: He’s not the king. He’s the court jester.
