This DHS memorandum says that the DHS General Counsel's office has adopted a new position that the Fourth Amendment allows entry into the home to make an arrest just based on an administrative warrant.

I would like to see that argument.

Veteran advocates and members of Congress say the sweeping language would likely also include people who work at VA contractors, medical students and even volunteers.
The Trump administration’s abuse of sensitive databases for immigration enforcement purposes has been a go-to intimidation tactic to serve their mass detention and deportation agenda.

But sharing data on our veterans is a disgraceful abuse even for an administration hellbent on spreading fear.
US senator calls veterans affairs’ data collection of non-citizen workers ‘thinly veiled effort to instill fear’
In letter to VA and DHS, Adam Schiff expressed alarm after Guardian reported on memo to gather information

This week would be the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

What are Republicans doing to honor it? Trying to stomp on women’s reproductive rights more.

Any member of Congress who votes for a budget that includes a single cent for ICE needs to be made to stare at this picture while they vote to support the monsters who did this.

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

It’s kind of wild that not only should the government NOT be doing evil shit, they should actually be doing GOOD things for us because we pay them lots of money in something called taxes

VOTE EVERY REPUBLICAN
OUT OF OFFICE
I think we need a huge crowd outside of Congress that specifically targets Republicans and brings attention to the fact that they are to blame for all of Trumps damage to America. They enabled him and were completely complicit.

Look at him! Really look and don’t you dare look away either!
That is a four-year-old. He’s wearing a backpack big enough for a juice box and lunch and wearing a winter hat pulled down by someone who loves him.
And the United States government decided this child was an acceptable target!!!! 1/

The United States must accept that again, your Idiot in Chief demonstrating that he cannot be trusted with direct communications relevant to your own nation’s national security between allies means-? you have no true allies left. You will not.

And for some time. Beyond the moment. For decades.

Just wondering. If ICE is not being sent to states with high number of "illegal" immigrants such as Texas and Florida, does that make them sanctuary states?

hmmmm.

Trump’s False Promise Exposed

Trump vowed to cut debt but in 2025 it but
grew $2.2 trillion, hitting

$38.4 trillion.

Tariff lies crushed farmers and raised costs.

His fraud fooled Republicans, who cheered while America bled, proving their loyalty is to a scam, not the nation.

“Disrespectful” and “pathetic.”

Yes it is.

Imagine if another country did that to us.

Again, I know that logic means nothing to them, but the whole “We should have Greenland because they don’t have our military might.” Is a special kind of insane Like, it implies I should be able to take my neighbors’ house/land if I’m heavily armed enough. They probably think that’s not a bad idea

I'm not some highly paid pundit, nor a historian, and hell, I only have a communications degree from a state universtiy, but I have to think that the thing that is most troubling for the rest of the world is not the president — but that neither our Congress nor our SCOTUS are stopping him.

MN Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. Yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone here as we try to fulfill our oath to care for the people of Minnesota

If we had serious leaders in the Dem party they would be petitioning SCOTUS for emergency acceleration of their decision on Trump’s illegal tariffs - er, taxes on Americans.

But we don’t. We have lemmings.
