ROGAN: They said they released them, but what did they release?
OTHER GUY: They're still not out yet. It feels like everything else has been drowned out by Somalians and the ICE shooting. It feels like Epstein is completely drowned out

Smith: Again, and I think all of us, if we're reasonable, know that there's going to be more crimes committed by these people in the future. I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted police officers. I don't get it. I never will.

Remember when I told you our military will NOT defend the Constitution, and that it will gladly carry out unlawful orders, including shooting American civilians?
Yeah…I stand by that. The good leaders have been pushed out.

As ICE continues to kill, assault, and kidnap innocent people, Hakeem Jeffries again shows his weak and ineffective leadership. Seven dems voted to continue funding ICE while Jeffries did not support a formal whip operation, which could have done more to stop the bill.

Trump sold the oil from a seized Venezuelan tanker for $500,000,000.. Where is the money? He deposited it in a bank in Qatar where Congress can't get to it.
He stole the oil from Venezuela, but he stole the money from America.
Why has Congress not impeached and imprisoned him for his crimes?

Am aware that with only Massie breaking GOP ranks it passes regardless. But on grounds of history and morality alone, you whip these seven weasels for a unanimous caucus.

The DHS Form-205, a “warrant” of removal/deportation, is signed by an ICE official, not a judge. That’s precisely why it does not meet the Fourth Amendment standard.

JD Vance: "Nobody is talking about doing immigration enforcement without a warrant. We're talking about different types of warrants that exist in our system. Typically in the immigration system, those are handled by administrative law judges. So we're talking about getting warrants from them."

As I said in another post, the Project 2025 strategy (contradicting decades of propaganda) seems to be "fuck you, what are you going to do about it."
A lot of people are responding to that and stepping up to the challenge.
And the fash hate it, that's not how they are "supposed" to answer.
