"The mother of all deals" 😂 She seems to have had a crash course in speaking Trumpian.

💯 Exactly! #doyourjobCONGRESS
Perhaps Congress needs to exercise their “civic duty”, which for them is a Constitutional duty; they have more power than an actor and they need to step up now.

US Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent:

What I am urging everyone here to do is sit back, take a deep breath, and let things play out. The worst thing countries can do is escalate against the United States.

If you are looking to help your immigrant neighbors and live in apartments or housing without laundry facilities, offer to assist with that. 🧊is showing up to laundromats and people with skin that is not white as snow are afraid to even do their laundry. If you can, this does make a difference.

Ohio's Statehouse Republican Supermajority has spent years proclaiming that their entire agenda is based on morality; apparently that's OUR morality, not THEIR own🫩 #OhioBlues

At about the 35-second mark the officer says "IF YOU FUCKING MOVE I'LL FUCKING TASE YOU," followed immediately by "GET OUT OF THE FUCKING CAR RIGHT NOW."

Which contradictory order are you supposed to follow, knowing that either could get you tased? Or worse?

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority”

He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

Saying judges can’t limit ICE “because federal authority” misses the point entirely.
The issue isn’t power. The issue is LEGALITY.

If federal agents aren’t following federal law or the Constitution, courts don’t just get to step in. They’re REQUIRED to.
