Joe Biden had one bad debate and the entire Democratic Party kicked him to the curb in a weekend.

Chuck Schumer fails us every day and Democrats act like there’s nothing they can do?

Call your Democratic Senators and demand that Schumer step down as Minority Leader.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.

We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.

Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me."
--Homan in February

"Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely."
-- Tom Homan in March

"I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room"
-- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

If something happens to this little boy...we need to shut everything down IMMEDIATELY.

(for the record we should already be planning a national general strike--and not just for a day.

It needs to be for a week, minimum. Everything stops.

Demand zero votes on ANYTHING until you have the resignations and a surrender into custody from Miller, Noam and Bovino.

Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

I really don’t know what to do with the anger I have right now over this. His family didn’t know where he was for TWENTY FOUR HOURS. They deported him and at least two other children to Texas. FIVE YEARS OLD. These people are monsters and I wish there was a hell so they could burn forever in it.
Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.
