Why I consistently block accounts and people.
- name calling
- lying
- posting inaccurate or unserious or dangerous critical information
- categorizing or pigeonholing any group
- misogynistic language
- racist language

Analysis by The Marshall Project of ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project found that the Trump administration’s revival of family detention has swept thousands of children into ICE custody. At least 3,800 children under 18, including 20 infants, have been booked since Trump took office.

According to the Wall Street Journal, one in five veterans enrolled in Medicare Advantage didn’t use a single Medicare service in 2021. That means these companies are collecting taxpayer dollars without providing care to these veterans.

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home!
Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

I can't even keep up with the lies in Jim Jordan's opening statement, but I find it interesting that he's complaining about toll record warrants obtained by a judge, while this administration has determined judicial warrants aren't needed to enter our homes.
