BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

I’ll go ahead and reserve my sympathy for the people who have suffered because of the lies, conspiracies and hateful rhetoric that MTG has pushed throughout her time in office.

Third term term stuff: sure, it’s unlikely. But it’s still dangerous. It’s further testing the fences of a constitution that hasn’t held up all that well. Even if it’s just meant to troll, a President shouldn’t troll. Especially one that runs a large/loyal cult that has ALREADY stormed the capital.

In these dark times, sometimes it’s best to go to the pet store and buy guinea pig-sized Halloween costumes for your foster kittens.

These two Halloween cuties will be available for adoption on November 6 in Western New York.

Conducting raids like this is always bad, but this is especially awful. There are reports that kids were being zip tied together and separated from their parents. It shouldn’t matter about what paperwork their parents didn’t complete - this is always wrong and it is never justified.

I was thinking about the arrogance it takes to demand every top general to hurriedly travel to DC to hear you tell them what it means to be a warrior. I think that aligns with someone, who has never been in the military, telling people who have served in wars that DC is worse than Afganistan.
Trump: "Washington DC was the most unsafe, most dangerous city in the US and to a large extent, beyond. You go to Afghanistan, they didn't have anything like that."

This needs an investigation. There is no way it’s fine to send a cruise missile at a civilian ship with 11 people on board, even if we suspect it’s running drugs.

Nobody has the authority to banish people from the cities where they live because of their unhoused status.

There are not enough beds in homeless shelters. There are not enough spots in treatment facilities. There’s no additional funding or plan - these are lies to make cruelty seem more humane.
Trump said D.C. homeless people would have 'places to stay.' The White House pointed to shelters or jail.
The president said federal officials will be "removing homeless encampments" across Washington as he seeks to "clean up" the nation's capital.

They are literally burning money. 10 million dollars that had already been spent to help people. They could have donated it, they could have even sold it. This is your government efficiency? I’m so angry I can’t even process it.

If you’ve not been following this on TikTok, her girlfriend was taken by ICE. She was here legally through a program for Venezuelan immigrants that Trump canceled. She was arrested at work, was told to sign papers without representation, held for about two weeks, and never even saw a judge.
Update. I’m thankful we were notified. Now we wait and pray #detentionhelp #iceadvise #detention #immigrant #deportationstories #coloradoice #fyp #foryou #fypシ゚viral #ice #colorado

We cannot let this just fade away. It has to stop.
Andry & the 252 other men sent, without due process, to a torture prison in El Salvador feels like the epitome—the soul, moral center, & quintessence—of this administration. I will never forget it or him.

Also, if you don’t know the definition of grace, now you do.

I think you can sum up what’s happening with Trump and the Epstein files like this:

Everyone: Hey, could you release the files?

Trump: This is a witch hunt! They are out to get me!

Everyone: Um, what? We weren’t talking about you.

Trump: You’re all so dumb! Democrats! Obama is a criminal!

Everyone I saw detained at 26 Fed last week, like the young man below, followed the rules by attending their court dates. Judges granted them hearings on their asylum applications, signaling they were safe for the time being, before masked and armed agents ambushed them.
