In the President's big speech at Davos, he keeps referring to America's need for Iceland. He came here to ask for Greenland.

Reminder:
The destruction of the United States is one of Trump's goals, part of the plan.
We didn't re-elect him in 2020.
He wants revenge on us for his humiliation. He's enacting it.

Talking about ICE, Trump said, "You know, they're going to make mistakes sometimes. ICE is going to be too rough with somebody. You know, they're dealing with rough people. Are they going to make a mistake? Sometimes it can happen."
Murder, brutality, and terrorism are awfully big "mistakes."

Bernie nails it again. So I'll state this again. The end goal of an oligarchy is a fascist state. Three essential actions:
Hoard the wealth.
Own the means of production.
Own the means of communication. (The media is lying to you.)
America -- You. Are. Here.
Let's end this now.

ICE is a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanish in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer means anything. The knock on the door is the sentence.

Republicans see Trump's lies, crimes, abuses, bigotry, and insanity. Some just don't care. The rest support him because he's the same kind of screwed up as they are.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.
At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Leak the unredacted Epstein Files.
If it means the destruction of nations’ leadership and companies, they don’t deserve to exist if they abused children.
Enough.

Everybody knows Franz Kafka, but almost no one knows his sister Ottla. She was gassed on arrival at Auschwitz on Oct 7, 1943 after volunteering to escort a group of orphans from the Terezin ghetto so they wouldn’t be afraid.

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

I see people talk about ICE by calling them the Gestapo, and while its not hard to see the comparison; they really aught to be compared to something homegrown. Because in truth, the closest thing we can compare ICE to is to federal slave catchers. The operation is the same.

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13.
I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.
