They're building concentration camps, Chuck.

Killing American citizens.

If ICE isn't following the standards that other agencies follow, then they're breaking the law, Chuck.

I don't want my tax dollars going to support any of this, Chuck. 4 out of 5 Democrats agree.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.

We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.

Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

One year into RFK Jr.’s tenure, and the results are clear: our public health system is weaker, Americans are less safe and less healthy, and science has been pushed aside. He must be impeached.

This is really nice to read:
Hey, my name is in the Epstein files! I've told the story before, but should probably re-up.

TLDR: never met the guy, never took (or asked for) any money from him, never visited the island. I was invited to the island, and said no.

It's not that hard to just say no.

If we had just agreed to listen to the victims and believe them, Trump et al, would be in prison, our neighbors wouldn't be traumatized, Venezuela would be a Sovereign Nation, UA, NATO and EU wouldn't be worried, Renee and Alex would be alive, and US Citizens wouldn't be ashamed of their government.

As myself and others within the academic and research world have been clearly pointing out this has all been counterinsurgency, not actual on the ground changes
Elite media is helping to amplify that counter insurgency propaganda in place of the reality that nothing on the ground here has changed
NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.

Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."

Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

Two weeks after Alex Pretti’s killing, federal agents have shown no signs of backing down. The resistance definitely hasn't.

One day ICE might hit your car, then charge you with assault.
Is this freedom?

We need to ABOLISH ICE!

A faster way for that to happen is help elect Shawnforgeorgia.com

Volunteer or donate because if we win this GA-14 seat, we can flip the House & the election is Mar 10, less than a month away!

It’s insane that we have to call and beg our Democratic leaders not to fund a government organization that is shooting and killing us.

"Epstein class" is terrific not simply because several of them are directly tied to Epstein's crimes, but because it strikes at the corruption, immorality and impunity of that entire circle.
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

A voter ID proves nothing. Anyone has been able to buy a fake ID forever.

Republicans are trying to put the burden of proof to vote on the voter. That is the job of your election officials. They have all of the tools at their disposable to vet whether someone is eligible to vote and a US citizen.

Dumb question: This scandal, considered seismic in Britain, is really about Mandelson leaking confidential, market-moving govt information to Epstein amid the 2008 financial crisis, which Epstein in turn passed to JP Morgan, including advice to Jamie Dimon.

Why is this not hitting Jamie Dimon?

That’s approximately 167 five-year R01 #NIHGrants worth of taxpayer dollars.
A reminder Don, Jr. has been awarded $600m in defense contracts despite have no established ability to deliver.
Trump’s “fraud crackdown” list is a political hit list. He targets his critics and attacks the watchdogs who actually root out waste. Meanwhile, he continues to pardon allies who stole millions from taxpayers. The real fraud is pretending Trump is helping the American people.
