What’s with little Marco Rubio? In every interview, he seems flustered & his answers are usually laughable! Maybe he’s afraid to say anything for fear Drumpf might punish him. He seems strangely embarrassed! Perhaps he wasn’t made for that job cause he really sucks at it.

the practical effect of arresting lemon et al is to spark widespread condemnation, especially since these arrests will certainly be thrown out. this doesn't mean the action isn't a dangerous escalation, it does mean the white house doesn't know what to do but spam its only attack

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

When the government kills someone and then closes ranks, people don't just get sad, they get furious and helpless at the same time. And the world is made less calmer & less joyful by their loss. May the souls of Alex Pretti & Renee Good find peace & unconditional acceptance wherever they are now.🕯️🕯️

🎵”In the winter of '26
Through winter's ice & cold
Against smoke & rubber bullets
Whistles & phones
Against Miller & Noem's dirty lies
Where mercy should have stood
Alex Pretti & Renee Good
Left to die on snow-filled streets
They say they're here to uphold the law
But they trample on our rights" 🎶

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

And if Epstein files were money, they'd be seized by now.

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

ICE has a memo out that they can go into people's homes without a warrant from a judge. They need a government form signed by a DHS. That's NOT what the 4th Amendment of our Constitution states. The Constitution is the law of the land which the Regime is shitting on everyday.

I like the idea of a #PurpleCaucus made up of senators and representatives declaring themselves:
Independents
Even a small number, working together, could shift votes and make both right and left come toward the center.
Their platform would be to promote what the majority of Americans want.

Bovino was forced out of Minnesota because the American people stood firm. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in below-freezing temps to peacefully defend their neighbors & freedoms.
We’ll keep fighting. No more deaths at the hands of rogue DHS agents.
