Listen. There is NO DOUBT that trump did unthinkable things to little children. Boys and girls. There's even an accusation that these children were tortured and even killed.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is two or three days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

I don’t want to think about Trump’s latest post about Alex Pretti, but we all must, esp. as funding discussions continue.
The president is talking about the “stock” of a man subjected to an extrajudicial killing by federal agents who threw him to the ground and shot him repeatedly in the back.

Trump’s deployment of federal troops has cost taxpayers nearly $500 million so far — and could surpass $1 billion for the rest of the year.
That’s after slashing SNAP and Medicaid, letting ACA subsidies expire, and gutting countless other federal programs.

I know everyone is sharing this, and it is bad, but, let's also be clear, this is not a new statement from Homan. This was from January 15: www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”
