Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.

Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

I'm not laughing. This is just embarrassing.
🚨BREAKING: The internet erupts in laughter after Trump declares, “Inflation is defeated. America is respected again like never before.”

FACT CHECK: Groceries cost more. Rent costs more. Inflation is up. And the world hates his f*cking guts.

State rep. Hoan Huynh shared video of agents surrounding his vehicle/stopping him + staffers shortly after he said one agent pointed a gun inside his vehicle at him while another threatened to break a window. They were following feds in Albany Park after four people were reportedly taken.

THERE’S NO BOTTOM WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

Operation “Freaky Friday”, a calculated scheme targeting some of the most vulnerable people in the country: immigrant children.

ICE is sending letters offering minors $2,500 for “voluntary” departure, while threatening enforcement if they refuse.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.
Welker: They say the house is not in session because you don't want to swear in the newly elected democratic congresswoman who would be a critical vote to releasing the Epstein files.

Johnson: It's totally absurd. This has nothing to do with that. It's another red herring.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

Surprise. The Trump/Putin circle jerk in Alaska yielded nothing but backslapping between two psychopaths.

Trump just did a press conference of rambling senility, humiliated by Putin again.

Oh and he referred to US intelligence on Russian interference as the Russia Hoax in front of Putin
