In my gut, I feell the same way I felt the night Trump won in 2016: Betrayed.
In 2016 I felt betrayed by people who hid their hate. I was shocked how many more of them there were.
This time I feel betrayed by a political party whose leaders hid the depth of their self-interest.
Fool me twice …

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Dear Walmart,

I’m shocked - SHOCKED - that this federal government is going after small businesses but not Musk, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Bezos, and the rest of the oligarchs paying for things like the American Versailles ballroom.
Exclusive: The Treasury Department is investigating small-business government contracts worth about $9 billion.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

I’m waiting for the news conference where Mike Johnson is asked what he thinks about the Democrats sweeping just about everything yesterday and he responds “I didn’t see anything about that.”
This morning it occurs to me that his head’s so far up Trump’s ass that he might be telling the truth.
