You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up.
Your 70% number is just a fabrication.
And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

Keep your lies straight, DHS. It's not about public safety? It's not about illegality? It's not about the fact that they're noncitizens? What's it really about? Oh we can guess...

If you had questions about Trump's "assassination attempts" wait until you see info about the guy who shot the National Guard troops. He was a CIA trained killer who worked in an elite unit in Afghanistan known for killing civilians. Now he travelled from Wash state to DC to shoot random troops 🤔

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

The National Guard wouldn’t have been shot today if Trump hadn’t sent them into DC in the first place — when nobody asked for them and nobody needed them.
Now he’s 500 more as a “response” to the chaos he created. did I get that right?

It’s unsurprising that the Georgia election interference case against Trump will be dismissed
But it’s infuriating nonetheless
We all heard him extorting Brad Raffensperger-trying to make him “find” 11,780 votes
And worse-now the DOJ is “investigating” Fani Willis-upon Trump’s demand
Appalling

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.

Note that the BBC openly admits in an email to me that the removal of this claim about Trump's world-historical corruption was done "on legal advice."
Translation: Trump's threat of a lawsuit, no matter how bogus, has now been rewarded.

Whenever the MAGA-verse talks about media fairness or ‘both sides’ what it really means is ‘give liars more air time & don’t you dare fact check.’ Keep that in mind when you hear David Ellison, Bari Weiss, Bill Maher & others pretend to talk about fact based journalism.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.
