Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Such massive overreach. How can they expect a company to accept liability for a product bought on their website, charged by their company, and delivered by someone wearing their uniform from a truck with their logo on it?!

Senator Chris Van Hollen goes off on Donald Trump:
"He's trying to convert those positions into positions can be filled by his political cronies...But what this is, is an attempt to push out these merit-based civil servants, 50 to 60 thousand of them so he can put political hacks in those jobs."

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.
In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour.
Let's steal those ideas.

Only one media outlet is reporting that LA Mayor Karen Bass' mic was turned off during the roundtable with Donald Trump last night.
None of them are reporting that they physically took away her microphone too because she kept trying to fact check him.
Shameful.
