I started paying into Social Security when I was 10, have worked steadily since I was 15, and retired at 75 with reasonable savings and SS. I, like so many others, payed into and earned this modest retirement. Send Musk to Mars and Trump to jail.

The Trump administration isn't just lying about reasons to murder Americans, it is lying about those murders too.
Donald Trump claimed that this murderer, calmly and ably fleeing the scene of his crime, was hospitalized with injuries.

Reality keeps ruining the script…
TRUMP: A professional agitator ran over an ICE agent who barely survived.
THE ICE AGENT: not only looks uninjured physically, he seems mentally fine, not shaken up, unbothered, walking away from the scene.

I didn't realize the person in the white hat was the shooter's wife. But this is what I realized last night. It's confusing due to the different angles and how he moves out of frame, but the shooter doesn't come from a car. He's the guy at the *back* antagonizing white hat w/ a camera prior.

Apparently the shooter was involved in some sort of argument with the victim's wife immediately prior? And was filming at the moment of shooting because of that? Not exactly a leap to think he also SHOT her because her was arguing with the occupants of the car.
Ok so the shooter is the same dude actively arguing and filming the partner of the deceased victim while going around the car

Merz: The order must be: first a ceasefire, then security guarantees for Ukraine, for a long-term agreement with Russia.
And all of this is impossible without Russia's consent, and we are probably still quite a long way from that.
Nothing to factcheck.

ICE++ the CBP, and judging from the patches — BORTAC.
BORTAC is a counterterrorism tactical unit of CBP.
Just shooting people

How do you feel now about invadingVenezuela, having learned that Trump's plan is to stash Venezuelan oil profits offshore in accounts that he will personally manage? You've helped this man personally steal another country's money. but you followed his legal orders, didn't you?

Miller MUST Resign- Blood is on his hands for the murder of Renee Good. He repeatedly told ICE agents they are above the law and no local officials could ever charge them for crimes. That was a lie. Now a person is dead because of this BS!!!
There's a straight line between murder of Renee Nicole Good by Trump's ICE officers and Stephen Miller repeatedly telling ICE agents they are above the law. Here's Miller on Fox News in October telling ICE agents they have federal immunity to do whatever they want. This was a greenlight to murder

Tyre Nichols should be home with his family today. Instead, it’s been three years since police violence took his life. For too many Black Americans, a traffic stop is a death sentence.
This has to stop. We need real accountability and reform to keep our communities safe.

From Heather Cox Richardson on January 7. Don't miss this. Donald Trump is personally taking control of Venezuelan oil revenues in an off shore account. If it looks like robbery it likely is robbery.

1-1 Minneapolis, Minnesota
Trump Brownshirts has fatally shot 37-year-old U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good in what appears to be an execution-style killing in Minneapolis. The legal path to accountability is complex, involving federal and state authority, immunity doctrines, and civil liability. 🧵

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”
So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

Can you accept - even w/o agreeing with all our positions - that Black people know profound truths about this country that are not on Schoolhouse Rock?
Now that the tactics they’ve used in our communities are becoming national policy, are you ready to concede that you need our “expertise” as well?

I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
