Someone please tell me why Megyn Kelly is posting videos calling Alex Pretti an “agitator” -and worse - who interfered with law enforcement? She is mocking celebrities for voicing their disgust and anguish. Oblivious to the fact that SHE is a celebrity. She is lying and knows it. What an evil bitch.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com thank you so much for your broadcasts. I was literally sick waking up to Trump speaking to the American military generals this morning. And Hegseth, the little snot-nosed misogynistic drunk. Neither should have the right to even be in the same room with those generals.
