Stephen Miller is 10 times more dangerous than Kristi Noem who is also dangerous. Best case scenario is that they somehow ruin each other.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings.

Do any Republicans in Congress care about Trump grabbing oil from Venezuela, handing it off to his megadonors to sell on the international market to whoever, depositing the proceeds in foreign bank accounts, then spending the money however he sees fit with no input from Congress?

📌NOTE: In the final year of Joe Biden's presidency 2 million jobs were created.
In the first year of Trump's presidency 584,000 jobs were created.
This is the weakest annual growth since 2003.
In other words, generationally horrible.
