It’s surprising to me to see the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene doing the right thing today given the fact that she literally elected a whole rapist. I’m glad she’s stepping up today but… hello?

D.C. is not a dangerous city.
Nor is L.A.
The only danger is the Trump regime and its secret police force—ICE.
They are committing crimes.
They are terrorizing communities.
They are tearing families apart.
They are kidnapping people.
They are the problem.
And we the people are done with them.

Judge: 'Probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations
The government sent several planeloads of alleged gang members to El Salvador, including 137 people under the act, the White House said at the time. The judge gave the U.S. until April 23 to respond.

Make no mistake: Their endgame is to give billionaires control of the government so they can then turn around and deliver a massive tax cut for the ultra-wealthy.

It's clear Dems need a different strategy than in 2020. How about this?

Liberals spent the president-elect’s first term trying and failing to kick him out of office. This time out, they need to turn the White House into a prison.

I just want to remind folks that MAGA and other folks on the right DO call in to their reps. Our Congress and even local officials are likely getting swamped. If you can take some time to call, it can make a difference.
