Senior officers of the United States military have an obligation to speak up and be leaders. Where is the Army chief of staff? Will he or others speak truth to the commander in chief and put a stop to the assault on the integrity of his troops? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Ambushing & arresting people who are here legally & are obeying the law by checking in with ICE as they’re required to do.
Repressive fear tactics that will NOT end with immigrants alone. Why would it? It’s a handy way to force your opposition into compliance and silence, & take dictatorial control

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles.

You can argue the merits of deporting Marcelo—a young man brought here at age 5—if you want to. But this is someone we should be proud to call American. He’s solid on every level. And if you’re really a Christian, you should be lifting him up, not casting him out.

Wow, did you come up with that all by yourself, Markwayne or did you steal it from Don Jr.’s bucket of douchebaggery?

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans.
You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

They obviously didn’t, the emergency declaration is nonsense and Congress should override that declaration tomorrow.
One thing nobody's talking about is whether Congress really gave the president the power to singlehandedly upend decades of tax and trade policy.
