ICE is no longer an immigration enforcement agency. It has become Trump’s domestic army.
If my “conservative” colleagues truly believe in small government, they should join us in demanding an end to masked federal agents terrorizing communities across this country.

Elected Democrat bashing is fully warranted. The Dem leadership and many other Congresspeople are not doing everything they could. The Dems in Congress gave up what little negotiating power they had to allow the last funding bills to pass.
Some are useless, some are good people. I think the leadership is weak but I see too many posts about Democrats sucking. I am beginning to feel this cynicism is meant to suppress the massive backlash coming Trump’s way. JB, what is your beef? I genuinely want to know.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.
They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

"Allowing the crime scene to be contaminated then covering the victim’s weapon with fingerprints will make it much harder to investigate the case, much less prosecute it. But of course federal officials never intended to do either. Indeed, the coverup was underway immediately." — @lizdye.bsky.social
The investigation is the coverup
Trump's "pivot" on Pretti is just a head fake.

Not a veteran. Not a politician, let alone POTUS.
However my oath of office as a commissioner on a city board called for me to swear to “support & defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign & domestic.” I took that oath very seriously & still do. It is imperative.
