The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

AOC excoriated Vance here.
Let’s see how the American public responds to Vance's “we believe young mothers should be shot in the street” political slogan.
After this week, that line will forever and always be JD's rallying cry.

The Trump administration said that it would suspend funding of food stamps and other hunger relief programs in Minnesota just as a federal judge blocked a similar effort to freeze funding for social services amid allegations of widespread fraud in the state.
Trump Administration Freezes Food Stamps in Minnesota
The move was part of a broader effort to to freeze social services to some Democratic-led states amid a fraud investigation in Minnesota.

DHS was created to FIGHT terrorists, not to BE terrorists. It needs to be defunded by congress in 2027, and we should select candidates who run on that platform.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.
Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.
