The centerpiece of this effort was supposed to be a “bold” new $500 Trump T1 smartphone the…

Trump: "I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting ... "

For almost a year, Donald Trump's personal police force has rampaged across America.

His administration has driven extremism and cruelty while discarding basic safeguards and accountability.

The people of this nation are now living in constant fear of what the Trump Administration may do next.

DHS and ICE are losing credibility as their lies and lawlessness are creating chaos and tragedies.

Shame on those using these moments to incite terror.
