This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Because they have not studied or worked in authoritarian bureaucracy, most liberal reporters and pundits are significantly underplaying the catastrophic consequences of 100,000s more ICE agents and private contractors. Their failure to explain these provisions of the new budget is inexcusable.
