Trump's ICE just killed 2 Americans in 2 weeks. Americans are demanding action.

How did Senate Republicans respond?

By threatening a partial govt shutdown if we don't give ICE another blank check.

They'd rather hold govt hostage than ensure accountability for these killings.

President Trump “is now basically running our country the way he ran his companies — as a one-man show free to make terrible deals. That management style led to six bankruptcy filings by his companies,” our columnist Thomas Friedman writes.
Opinion | Trump’s Politics Are Not America First. They’re Me First.
Donald Trump is the most un-American president in our history. And in his second term, there is no one to constrain his un-American impulses.

So now we have Gulags her in the United States. They are imprisoning US citizens as political dissidents. Forced labor will be next as we have deported an important part of our labor force in this process. It will only get uglier if it is not stopped soon by our crippled Congress.

No, President Trump. Illegally canceling $2 billion in funding to deal with the mental health, addiction and opioid crises will not Make America Healthy Again.

It will lead to more illnesses, more overdoses and more deaths.

This blatantly unconstitutional act must be rescinded.

Per a NYT reporter on the ground in Venezuela: “ There are no signs of US military presence in the country and the United States closed the embassy in Caracas in 2019, so it is unclear how the Trump administration would run Venezuela, as the president claims.”
