It is driving me crazy that I’m not seeing widespread coverage of these statements by the President.

This is a big deal!

If a news organization isn’t putting this in front of their readers/viewers, they are failing at their job to inform the public.
Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

The Trump admin gave states an ultimatum: Cooperate with the immigration crackdown, or lose your federal funding.

Oregon and 19 other states fought back — and won.

Then officials logged in to the grant website to accept the money, only to find the button to do so was disabled: propub.li/4a4Bsk5

In May, Human Rights Watch released a report showing how gig platforms use opaque algorithms to erode workers' wages.

Now a new investigation finds Instacart is running AI price experiments: charging different people different prices for the *same* groceries, sometimes by more than 23%.

ICE raided Augsburg University in Minnesota and allegedly pointed guns at students.

They didn’t have a warrant to be on private property, and students are shaken and left feeling unsafe.

At least one was detained.

They’re not going after criminals.

They’re grabbing anyone they can.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?

The number of convicted criminals in immigration detention is about 1.8x what it was when Trump took office.
The number of people with no criminal record whatsoever — who are detained solely for immigration reasons — has shot up **25.5x**

WATCH: A nurse nearly blinded by a tear gas canister. Protesters trapped, struggling to breathe.

Under Trump 2.0, federal agents have routinely countered protesters using crowd control weapons and fired on people in ways that some experts say might be criminal.
