Warnock on the arrest of Don Lemon: It’s chilling, and I think that is the intent. They intend to send chills down the backs of journalists. The authoritarian march is happening in real time, and it’s way past the time to wake up.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.
This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.
They must be released immediately.

Yesssss. Separate out DHS and shut it down.
I just voted NO on the spending package because it still includes DHS funding.
NO blank check for ICE to continue lawless killings. Let’s get real changes made.

When we are subjected to the Insurrection Act, I'm thinking that every American who can should immediately leave whatever building or vehicle we are in and go outside and just stand or sit there. Park the car, get off the bus, go to the front yard, exit the classroom, office, airport. Shut it down.

CEOs of Minnesota companies, including Target and Hormel, say they're pushing against ICE's occupation.
But their industry trade groups actively lobbied for Trump's Big Ugly Bill, which boosted ICE's budget by $75B.

Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

BREAKING: As Trump transformed an immigration database into a tool to scrutinize voter rolls, newly unearthed comments show a prominent election denial activist was already claiming inside access to the effort — and touting a potential partnership with the Department of Homeland Security.
Leading election denier claimed DHS ‘wants to partner with us’ on voter roll checks. Now he’s a top official there
Comments from Phillips at the time suggest True the Vote, which has repeatedly pushed for access to federal data, also was working with DHS officials.

America is an occupied country that thinks it is going to "vote out" the US military, the FBI, ICE, local and state police. I never realized how much stupidity of the masses was responsible for the success of authoritarian regimes.

We should be clawing back some of that money from before. Not giving them more. Hear me out‼️
NEW: $64B for DHS, about $10B for ICE
2025: A multi-year boost $170B for border enforcement, about $75B of that for ICE.
No Dem should have their name on a new ICE funding bill.

Any “concessions” that Senate Democrats squeeze out of Republicans are pure theater. Trump and Stephen Miller will ignore them anyway — it’s all LIES.
Schumer and every Senate Democrat must STOP funding ICE and Border Patrol NOW. No more blank checks for brutality and murder.

In fact, the mortality risk of pregnancy is 44 to 70 times higher than from abortion.
