The reason Trump and Mike Johnson want to “take over elections” is because they know they’re deeply, DEEPLY unpopular. They are far too weak to withstand a free and fair election.

I voted against funding for ICE today for the second time.

The East Bay has made clear at the Alameda County and city level that we will hold the line against a violent ICE force and support our immigrant communities – I will continue to hold the line and our values with my votes in Congress.

Are we clear this criminal insurrectionist who despises the people & the Constitution will try to steal the midterms by taking control from the states to run elections & count the votes? We need governors & state AGs to band together & fight back.

Nothing even remotely like the modern system of tightly restricted international borders existed in biblical times.
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?

MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

Here is the original draft federal indictment of Jeffrey Epstein for sex trafficking that was prepared by federal prosecutors in 2007, but ultimately tossed aside by Alex Acosta's office to allow Epstein to plea to a much lesser state charge.

Democrats are demanding ICE and Border Patrol conduct themselves in accordance with real police officers.

Real police officers don’t wear masks – they wear body cameras. They also cooperate with investigations and use judicial warrants.

These are normal, commonsense standards.

I discuss the rupturing of checks and balances with ICE defying court orders in Minnesota and across the country.

Orders to release people from detention
Orders to present detainee to court
Orders not to transfer out of jurisdiction

Plus how judges are pushing back, and role for SCOTUS.

Donald Trump invites Americans to believe there’s no money left to make health care affordable while he spends billions of taxpayer dollars to hire masked ICE & Border Patrol agents to intimidate, attack, arrest & even kill our people.

Mr. President, we reject these authoritarian priorities.

Again, what's your point? You're SO bad at false equivalence. 😆

In 2015, ICE wasn't:

- Wearing Masks
- Refusing to ID themselves
- Killing protestors
- Kidnapping people
- Assailing US citizens
- Occupying US cities

Not the same.
