ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)
This is Trump’s America.

I have no respect for anyone who voted for Donald and thinks this is okay.

The crazy thing about Donald Trump posting an AI video of Obama getting arrested is that Trump once had someone organize a party for him and invite a bunch of “young women” and it turned out Jeffrey Epstein was his only other guest.

Texas was devastated by deadly floods. In the aftermath, FEMA Acting Administrator David Richardson is nowhere to be found. In any other administration, this would be an epic scandal. But with Trump, it's treated as business as usual.

And millions of people accept this as normal and not a sign of a significantly disordered personality.

Congressional oversight is not optional, it's our authority and responsibility as members of Congress. We stood outside of the Broadview detention center for over an hour and were unlawfully denied entry. If this is how they treat us, how are they treating the individuals being detained here?

Pretty good summary of the second Trump term so far: a visibly checked out parrothead-coded fascist telling a couple of congressmen to fuck off.
In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.
