This is the kind of forceful intrusion into people’s lives that government should PROTECT us from.

Rights are unalienable, and are not gifts from government.

How does deporting a mom who had legal status for years make us safer?

The Trump administration should reverse course.

NEW: U.S. Military Archbishop Timothy Broglio, long viewed as a conservative ally, has condemned Trump’s extrajudicial strikes on drug cartels as “illegal and immoral.”

It’s his second public rebuke of Trump in two months — and a sign of a shifting Church under Pope Leo XIV.

Everywhere.

Whether it's Trump murdering those accused of transporting drugs or Obama drone striking non-combatants, murder is wrong no matter who is in office.

Not like it would be justified if they were drug smugglers, but I think it hasn't gotten enough focus that a boat with 11 people onboard heading from Venezuela to Trinidad was almost certainly migrants. These were probably, at least for some of them, people fleeing Maduro. That's who they murdered.

In a sane world he’d be impeached for this alone.
REPORTER: "If it is found that survivors were actually killed while clinging onto that boat, should Sec. Hegseth, Admiral Bradley or others be punished?"

POTUS: "I think you're going to find that this is war...Very soon we're going to start doing it on land, too."

This wastewater tracking is creepy. It's mass surveillance and a huge invasion of privacy. Individual liberty means we own our bodies and our choices. The government needs to respect our privacy and leave us alone. Stop treating Canadians as data points.
