Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

16-year-old Arnoldo Bazan and his father were getting McDonald’s before school when immigration agents pulled them over.

They slammed his father to the ground and put the teen in a chokehold. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” he said.

In 2019 far right Polish President Andrzej Duda visited Trump in DC. On his way he sent a text to Epstein, "On the train to NY. Just met your friend POTUS." The next day he met with Epstein in person.

Her last words to the nazi pig were

"That's fine dude, I'm not mad at you"

Then he shot her three times and said "fucking bitch"

It's long past time to abolish ICE, and honestly every agent should be deported to one of Elon's colonies on Mars.

The Civil Right Division has become an absolute joke. The only people whose rights are protected are ICE agents. www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...

House Speaker Mike Johnson apparently doesn’t understand how our justice system works. He said if Fed Chair Jerome Powell is innocent, “then he can prove that.” No, Mikey, he doesn’t need to prove he’s innocent. His accusers need to prove he’s guilty.

“The President of the United States is a criminal. He’s not just a convicted criminal. He should have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th. He is running the government like a mob operation.“

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

Where is the business community and corporate leaders of Minnesota based companies in speaking up? Why aren't the big law firms sending lawyers to represent the people being attacked?

We are not at the end of this authoritarianism, we are at the beginning. And, sadly, we are on our own.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

So who else saw this and had the phrase “all hat and no cattle” spring to mind?
