Another late night threat by Donald Trump, and this time he’s going after people in just one state w/ legal status. Maybe the President should spend his evenings working on bringing down costs instead of targeting Somalis who have been in our country for years. Think about it.

It’s not surprising that the President has chosen to broadly target an entire community. This is what he does to change the subject.

Zohran Mamdani standing beside the President of the United States just said that the US is funding Israel's genocide and yet can't take care of its own unhoused children on live television.

I never thought I'd see something like that in my lifetime

Rep. Goodlander: "When the Sec Def came before the House Armed Services Committee, I asked him a simple question that has one answer only. I asked him, 'Will you abide by a decision of SCOTUS?' Sec. Hegseth refused to commit to doing so. This put our service members in an impossible position."

also we now have a “whites only” refugee policy. they aren’t trying to hide the white supremacy anymore. it’s overt and mainstream.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

There can only be one reason Donald Trump & Stephen Miller are going ballistic over people in the military being reminded that they can refuse to obey illegal orders—illegal orders were *always* the plan.
