People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Newsom: "We're doing this in reaction to a president that called the governor of the state of Texas and said 'find me 5 seats' ... we cannot unilaterally disarm ... other blue states need to stand up"

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

ICE now has over 70 billion dollars to build more concentration camps.

Just in time for Independence Day.

God damn you, America.

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow?

Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?

Our new concentration camps?

Our dying economy?

Our ditching due process?

Our corruption?

Our broken legislature?

Our corrupt SCOTUS?

Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?”

🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season.

Brilliant timing.

A 33-year-old Democratic Socialist will become the next mayor of NYC and the worst, most corrupt people in the USA are losing their minds.

God loves to see it.

Remember when we had that other building in DC along with the White House? It was full of politicians? Con-something? Anyway.

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

it takes a special brand of political incompetence to see millions of people marching against the opposition and not do anything to seize that momentum but it appears dem leadership has decided to do just that

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan.

We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised.

That’s how democracy should function.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van?

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Hot take: the way Tucker grills Ted Cruz in those clips should be the rule not the exception.

If more of the media did this we would be in a much better place*
