“What you read in The Diary of Anne Frank is happening here. Parents have been taken by ICE in front of their elementary-aged kids who were then left alone. ICE left the kids and didn’t help get them to another adult. Thank goodness for compassionate neighbors who took the kids in.”

This is how you know it’s about the violence and cruelty, not about immigration. Turning thousands of settled, law-abiding residents who came here legally into “deportable illegals” with a flick of the pen, just to create more horror and storm more neighborhoods with murder and mayhem and gas.

They don’t just deport “illegals.” They manufacture illegality by stripping lawful status, then pretend they’re enforcing the law.
TPS holders were legal yesterday. Surprise! Today they aren’t!
This is exactly what the MSM needs to explain better.

If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

I wonder if a Washington Post health editor’s decision to commission a video on what to do if you get pepper sprayed (implicitly, by ICE!) was okayed by the higher-ups. It betrays the stakes of the moment more than anything in the op-ed pages lately.

Taylor Rehmet’s stunning victory in Texas by flipping a +17 Trump district can’t be overstated. He’s the first Democrat in 35 years to win this district, and he won by 14 points — despite the GOP outspending him by over $2 million. Democrats have now won or overperformed in 240 of 269 key elections.
