ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children
They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to “put your hands up, stupid!”
This is tyranny
These kids are traumatized
It was warrantless and no ID was shown.

Clearly, Trump has learned something from his good friend MBS: If you don't like what your political opponents say, execute them.
Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, that's not what we do in America.

Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

It's a serious disgrace to see the President of the United States roll out the red carpet for a foreign dictator who ordered the killing of a Washington Post journalist.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Ending NOAA’s partnership with the Alaska Earthquake Center means fewer seismic stations and slower, less accurate tsunami warnings for Alaska, Hawaiʻi, and the West Coast.
NOAA cuts stations used for West Coast tsunami monitoring
NOAA did not renew a contract that supported a handful of seismic stations in Alaska. This could hamper tsunami warnings for Alaska, Hawaiʻi and the West Coast.

- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
