Ask yourself. If ICE is going door to door, what’s next?

Armed federal agents took a man away in handcuffs. A woman came out of the house and said the man was her husband. It also appears ICE used an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant.

That matters….

This was an incredibly eye-opening conversation with Chris Whipple
@whipplc.bsky.social's bombshell interviews of Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, has rocked Trump World. And rightfully so.

Kamlager-Dove: Biden put together a very restrictive plan around selling these chips to other countries. And Republicans were saying, “Hey, Biden, you’re not protecting our national security.” Fast forward to Trump, and he’s selling these things like you sell Snickers on the corner.
