It's the only language they understand: money. We can boycott.
What’s one way we can rein in ICE?

There is no ceasefire in Gaza just like there is no "drawdown" of ICE in Minneapolis.
At the Munich Security Conference this weekend, I told a hard truth. There is no ceasefire in Gaza. The assault continues. Palestinians continue to die. And Trump is issuing glossy brochures about fake future Gaza real estate deals instead of working to end the war.

Ron Johnson decides to go full Bondi mode a day after her exemplary performance.
Ron Johnson to Keith Ellison: "Two people are dead because you encouraged them to put themselves into harm's way! And now you are exploiting those two martyrs. You ought to feel damn guilty about it. Yeah, sit there and smirk. Smirk. It's sick! It's despicable. You disgust me."

This is someone who clearly takes The Bible -- supposedly one of his favourite books -- to heart
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We knocked the hell out of them the other day in Nigeria because they were killing Christians. When Christians come under attack, they know they're going to be attacked violently and viciously by President Trump."

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

The two opening sentences should be on billboards across the country.
Dreading doing your taxes? Billionaires aren’t.
While Trump does nothing to lower the cost of living for you, he's making it even easier for billionaires to get away with cheating on their taxes.
