Getting lost in the coverage of the Trump's BIG Billionaires bill is that it provides $75 billion dollars in funds for Trump to 1. create a personal army of 10,000 ICE agents and 2. build massive concentration camps to hold people. This will NOT end with immigrants- that is where it begins!

It's beyond heartbreaking to see GOP on verge of approving massive cuts to Medicaid, the ACA and food assistance all to give a tax cut to their wealthy donors. The GOP knows they will be killing people with their Medicaid and ACA cuts but they don't care. They should be charged with murder!

Every justice loving protester in LA should leave the areas near military and maybe even go home. Let Trump have a party no one wants to be at- him and Pete’s warriors.

Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy, has begun baselessly claiming that birthright citizenship is a massive welfare scam.

Miller has previously endorsed a theory called “remigration” that refers to the forcible removal of non–ethnically European immigrants.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.

This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Trump crashes the economy, while grifting for himself, his family, and his cronies—with no shame about this. How dumb do you have to be to accept this? And please, don't come at me with talk of economic or cultural grievances. He's playing millions for fools.
Even as the stock market crashed, President Trump was in Florida at his Doral golf resort and Mar-a-Lago club helping pump up family businesses, evidence that Trump continues to monetize the presidency. A NYT behind-the-scenes look with Theodore Schleifer and Zolan Kanno-Youngs nyti.ms/3XPqyIa
