The President directed the Department of Justice to make a secret list of “domestic terrorist organizations.” It seems clear from his own order that Trump plans to see how far he can stretch the law before someone tells him no.

What could happen to people on President Trump’s secret “domestic terrorist” list? They could be targeted by the federal government just for disagreeing with President Trump’s agenda.

This is the President's playbook. The truth doesn't matter. Facts don't matter. Anyone who disagrees with him becomes an enemy, and he then weaponizes the federal government against them.

Americans can see with their own eyes. ICE and those under their command are not acting as responsible law enforcement agencies. They are recklessly inciting violence at the whims of the President. They must be reined in.
I’ll be voting no on the Homeland Security funding bill.

Since the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal forces, I have heard from Michiganders of all political persuasions — including folks who actively avoid politics.
That's because Michiganders see themselves in what is happening in Minnesota. And it is not just isolated to Minnesota.
