Police are required to call DCYF when children are left without parents due to arrests. ICE and DHS should have same requirement. Traumatizing children and leaving them unprotected is about as low as humans can go

These children are in tears and, probably, broken for life because after opening the door, ICE took their parents.
Now, they blame themselves for it, as children tend to do.
The lack of humanity from this administration is a gut-wrenching disgrace.
Shame on Trump, Noem, and ICE.

Joni Ernst is a sociopath, just like the rest of the GQP.
Nancy and her son Charlie went to D.C. to show Joni Ernst who her budget cuts would hurt—kids like him.
She wouldn’t meet with them.
They left with nothing but lip service, while Ernst filmed a mock apology in a graveyard. This isn’t leadership. It’s cruelty.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Elon fired the IGs and gutted the federal agencies investigating and regulating his companies including the SEC, NLRB, DoD, NHTSA, FDA, DoA and FAA.
DOGE could only verify $5 billion in savings for this year, while potentially costing taxpayers $135 billion.
There’s your fraud.

Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens.
This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.
