I checked the news this morning and saw no reports on the arrest of the DOGE criminals. Why not? If you or I did this…
This is a non-profit organization, not an Executive Branch government office and their building isn't government property.
Their mission is to keep us out of foreign wars.

Rolling back EPA protections is something that all Americans should oppose. Here is my grandfather in 1937 with his firefighter buddies in Etna, PA. A blast furnace released so much pollution that people had to change their clothes at noon from all the ash. Is this really what we want?

This is the state of the media today:
If you state the simple, obvious truth—that the president of the United States is mentally unstable and engages in mentally unstable behavior injurious to the nation and the world—you have to fear for your job.
Pathetic.

Many of the agencies that Elon Musk’s Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE) is dismantling had investigations or regulatory battles with Musk’s companies.

As part of the United States immigration process, once you have a green card, you have permanent residency in the country. You're afforded free speech rights, and deportation is not something you would expect (in normal times). Deportation of someone with this status is NOT NORMAL. #immigration
I didn't agree with the nature of the student protests, but I agreed they have a right to protest.
This is the most important deportation attempt to date, because he has a Green Card. His free speech rights are guaranteed under the Constitution!
