When you go after federal workers, you hurt Americans who rely on government services. We won’t stand for it.

Trump claimed that DOGE has uncovered billions in “fraud, waste, and abuse.” However, no evidence has been provided, and all public fraud claims from both Elon Musk and Trump have been debunked as false.

So to be clear - in Tennessee unidentified white men in hoodies can grab any immigrant that "looks" undocumented, and if officials even as much as vote to protect them it's a felony.

What happened at DCA was horrific. Politicians from the president on down need to be focused on the victims and the rescue personnel .
