Yesterday Secretary Rubio admitted the administration ignored its own intelligence reports while illegally dragging us into the conflict in Iran. He literally said "forget about intelligence."
That's the type of "leadership" that started the Iraq War.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers.
Easy money, no risk.
Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime.

Taking away healthcare. Taking away SNAP benefits. Taking away affordable housing. Making it more difficult to receive vaccines. Not activating FEMA during natural disasters. In my lifetime, I’ve never seen an administration work so cruelly against us.
