I remember when my mom, who’s in her 70s, and I heard Kamala Harris announce her care-at-home plan. We were so excited. She even explained it was cheaper than hospital care. To us, it felt like someone was actually planning to make healthcare better.
Now look where we are.

Politicians and CEOs who were mentioned in the Epstein Files are either resigning in disgrace or being criminally investigated, so how is it okay for the orange felon to remain in power when he is mentioned the most in the files as well as is actively covering up damaging info.

It's not normal that a President is suing his own administration and taking the $10B. WTAF is going on? This is a big scam even for him.
Why isn't anyone doing anything about this?

She's 8 MONTHS PREGNANT & was kidnapped by ICE...or someone!
When ANYONE can mask up, dress as ICE & rent a black SUV, what's to stop them from just kidnapping people?
In California, we passed a law against masks & it's not being followed.
Police aren't protecting us, no one is.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

I thought some (many) of those undocumented are offered a path to citizenship if they serve in the military? No?
They’re deporting US Army veterans.
They say if they’re undocumented, they must go.
Such a selfish group of human beings.
They consider undocumented immigrants “good enough” to go to war and possibly die for the country, but not good enough to avoid deportation.
Ghouls.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

Previously, Berlin and other capitals believed that Russia could threaten NATO’s eastern flank by 2029. Now, the consensus is growing that it could happen much sooner — before Europe can build up its own military power.
