In addition to being a liar, Mike Rogers is a lickspittle and a craven coward who know what Trump is but bent the knee.
After multi-millionaire Florida resident Mike Rogers swore that the economy is “booming” and Trump “has America working again,” a torrent of gloomy economic data shows Michiganders are facing a very different reality of job layoffs and rising unemployment:

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

Donald Trump has been telling us that if he doesn't like the outcome of the elections he will seize ballots. He wants Republicans to take control of voting. He wants to take over elections in Democratic states.
People should be concerned and we all need to be ready.

Trump has turned government agencies into his own personal Gestapo.
Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

The president, when asked about the survivors of the sex trafficking ring run by his best friend the pedophile, ignores the question and instead lashes out at the "young woman" who asked it, saying she never smiles and is someone to be ashamed of.

TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

"The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED."

![Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.

We aren’t just a few quick hacks away from a livable system. The oligarchs will have to dispossessed & permanently driven out of existence to get off of this fucking fascist merry-go-round.
The regime-affiliated oligarchs who bought up Twitter, the Washington Post, CBS, and TikTok didn't do so to turn a profit.
They are taking control of the media to limit the public's ability to resist authoritarianism and oligarchy. If they run the outlets into the ground, that's fine.
