Let's investigate the number of deaths & rapes that are happening now in the ICE detention facilities. The numbers must be made public. These are people who are being detained, many who couldn't contact a lawyer or relative.

Where the hell are the rest of them? Let’s ask:

The fact that Bessent imagines that retirees 'maybe own six or seven homes for their retirement' shows just how out of touch these millionaire administration officials are with average Americans.
Again, the president could dramatically lower health insurance premiums TODAY with one phone call to Senate leadership, but he refuses.

JD Vance and Donald Trump need to stop prejudging and lying about the shooting of Renee Good. The American people are agitated that this Administration will never hold anyone accountable.
They need to let the investigation take place and cooperate with state and local officials.

I've noticed that ICE agents keep yelling "18 USC § 111" at people filming them. I'd like to see the memo they all got on that talking point, and I'd like to know who sent it. Filming ICE or alerting your neighbors to their presence doesn't violate § 111.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
