If your hard-earned taxpayer money is funding a secret police force that can kidnap you or shoot you on the street with absolutely no accountability and immunity from legal prosecution, you don’t live in a free country.

Lying about the election in order to lie about a murder.
COLLINS: Minnesota officials say the FBI isn't sharing evidence with them. Do you believe the FBI should do that?
TRUMP: Well normally I would, but they're crooked officials. Minneapolis and Minnesota are being destroyed. I feel that I won Minnesota all three times. I won Minnesota three times.

My family knows what it means to get knocked down and stand back up. From combat missions to Gabby’s long recovery after being shot, we’ve learned that resilience is not about pretending things are easy — it's about doing the right thing even when they're not.

There's no "training" to "reform" this culture of violence and impunity, the only solution is to eliminate the agency and fire everyone associated.
Before someone whines "but but you need immigration enforcement" okay explain to me exactly how this is "immigration enforcement." It's just thuggery.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Begging credit card companies to play nice is a joke.
I said a year ago if Trump was serious I’d work to pass a bill to cap rates. Since then, he’s done nothing but try to shut down the CFPB.
Trump doesn’t care about affordability. Americans know a fraud when they see one.

Now he’s sent the American military in to capture it.
