If any of your relatives were confused and rambling like Trump was at Davos, you’d check them into a home tomorrow.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

WATCH— @ossoff.senate.gov : “We are living through perilous and disorienting moments… how can it be that masked federal agents set up checkpoints in American cities, demand papers, rip people from their cars… kill? There’s a wickedness to the program.”

Only TWO DAYS until Jack Smith testifies publicly before Congress. Americans will hear directly about the historic Jan 6 case which led to an indictment of Trump. Smith believes he'd have proven guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
Whatever distractions Trump engineers, let's not get distracted from this.

Imagine that
TN House Rep Brian Terry, an anesthesiologist and Republican, just asked if there are any illegal immigrants on TennCare. The answer from the TennCare rep was no. He says the fraud taking place in the TennCare system is coming from the providers.

Gov. Newsom to Sky News:

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.

Trumpism is fascism.

New polling data shows that it's getting increasingly embarrassing to identify as a Republican, and some Trump voters are slinking away and pretending it never happened.

"You're asking me about something that the president just said... He's never going to implement it... We should talk instead about what he's doing... Every time we get distracted by what he talks about rather than what he does... he destroys and he redistributes to the rich."

All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously.

But none of them has the balls to do it.

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority”

He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino marches through Minneapolis surrounded by federal agents, shouting at American citizens.

This isn’t about deporting “the worst of the worst.” It’s about deliberately sowing fear and chaos in cities that oppose the Trump regime

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.

ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.

ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.
