Americans agree—Trump’s ICE is out of control.
The image depicts a graph showing the net approval of Trump's handling of immigration in his second term, with approval plummeting from 11.02 in January 2025 to -13.34 in February 2026. There is a large photo of Trump on the left side of the graph. Text below the graph criticizes Republicans for helping the rich and funneling money to ICE while working Americans can't even afford basic goods.

Trump can try to run from Project 2025 as much as he wants—this is his plan. His people wrote it.
Keep reminding him of his commitment to dismantle our democracy for his "fine people". #StopProject2025

Any Republican or Democrat who continues to support Palantir, takes money from them, or refuses to hold them accountable is not your friend and should not be supported.

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

Jesse Jackson, the nation’s most influential Black figure in the years between the civil rights crusades of MLK & the election of Obama, died Tuesday at 84.

His family said in a statement that he “died peacefully”.
RIP, Mr. Jackson. Heaven has gained another warrior.
