Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

The unimaginable.
A U.S. citizen suffered a concussion, a torn rotator cuff and bruised ribs after immigration officers stopped her on a Salem street, broke her car window, pulled her out and then left abruptly after discovering her passport in her purse, advocates said.

I like the term "Constitutional Observer". It is the best descriptor of Minneapolis citizens who are making a record of EXACTLY what ICE is doing.

Whether they will say it or not, surely there must be some people in the MAGA movement who are able to see that Stephen Miller is a psychopath.

POWERFUL

“The murderers are ICE. They are who we need out of this city. Let us carry on our lives safely and not in fear of being shot. If we help a woman who slips on the ice, as I saw happen earlier today before that man was murdered… let’s say his name, Alex was murdered while he was helping.”

This comes just after the president publicly demanded that ICE should start showing the public how terrible the people are who they're grabbing and arresting.

In this case, his name is Liam. He's five years old.

We aren’t debating how to feed people or house them. We aren’t debating how to make our world healthier or safer.
We are talking about Greenland and whether the US will invade it.
This is the stupidest timeline.
