Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve:
✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education
👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own”
❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history
🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.
If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

I am not live posting the whole argument here because I want to listen closely to Trump v. Slaughter. But the solicitor general for Trump just said the point here in killing the independence of agencies like the FTC is that executive branch officers must “fear and obey” the president. Wow. #SCOTUS

Additionally, Republicans & Democrats need to start breaking down some of these other massive consolidations across Media, Healthcare and Food & Beverage. When everything in the US is owned by 6 Billionaires in a trench coat, we are no longer a free nation.

As early as 1890, our nation realized that monopolies were the greatest threat to democracy & to free markets & we broke those up. The Sherman Antitrust Act & The Clayton Act & the FTC all forbid this kind of consolidation. Republicans & Democrats need to follow US Law & deny this takeover.

Paramount's hostile takeover doesn't have the spin something like Disney buying Fox did. The zeitgeist here isn't "yay Wolverine can be in the MCU now," it's going to be "Trump is directly getting involved in making sure Saudi Arabia owns Bugs Bunny" and any Dem not running against that is a fool
I don’t think anyone in any c suite thinks dems are actually going to break up companies, regardless of how shoddy the process that lead to the merger was.
And I can’t say I blame them.

I, too, am sick of living in a world where we have to choose the lesser of two evils, but Paramount getting WBD would be catastrophic for a billion reasons.
Jared Kushner's involvement was "not mentioned in Paramount's press release on Monday morning about its $108 billion bid, nor were participating sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar."

Jared Kushner is part of Paramount's hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery
Paramount is telling WBD shareholders that it has a smoother path to regulatory approval than does Netflix.

Larry Ellison will control TikTok, Paramount, Warner Bros, CNN, CBS, HBO, and almost every major cable channel.
This will be the most dangerous media consolidation in American history.

A Paramount-Warner Bros. merger would be a five-alarm antitrust fire.
Not to mention it's backed by a who's who of Trump buddies and foreign money.
The government's review of any deal needs to be based on the law and facts — not who sucked up the most to Donald Trump.
