My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

"Does this feel like or look like a well-run competent administration? It took them 10 months to discover that the United States doesn't grow bananas and that therefore if we tariff bananas that that's not going to bring banana factories on shore."

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

No warrants, no due process, no Judge and no Jury. Kidnapped and held totally outside the legal system, by our government. How did this happen to America? How did we become a failed fascist state?

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Really wild to see Trump march toward war with Venezuela without even going through the motions of manufacturing consent … he’s just like going to do it.

Notice that MAGA never refers to Putin as a “warmonger.” You know, the guy who started the war, bombs civilian population centers daily, & refuses to sign a ceasefire. Nope, according to MAGA, Putin isn’t the warmonger - it’s the people who support Ukraine’s refusal to surrender.

I mean, you could pay $10 to read Ryan Lizza‘s writing about Olivia Nuzzi’s sexcapades with the brainworm guy or you could lick the floor of a bus stop bathroom for free. Either way you’ll end up with the same taste in your mouth.

Home invasions.
Child sex crimes.
Homicide.

Just a couple things that some of the 1500+ January 6 defendants have been convicted of since Trump released them back onto our streets.

The GOP isn't the party of law and order.

They're the party of lawlessness and violence.

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

It’s wild how casually we say “42 million people are on SNAP” like that’s just a normal statistic.

That’s 12% of the entire country—in the richest nation on earth—relying on government help just to eat.

That shouldn’t be a data point we shrug off.
That’s a national emergency.
