I am a father of 5, loving husband, combat veteran and I just want to see our country come together as 1 before I die. Under democracy, what I swore to protect and defend with all our freedoms, I know the full value. Being free is priceless, proud American

Unemployment is good? Is American unrest good? This guy is so out of touch all to try and keep his base(#sheep) under control
The ignorance of Trump’s statement is stunning.

REPORTER: Port traffic has collapsed. Thousands of dockworkers and truckers are worried about losing their jobs.

TRUMP: “That’s a good thing. We’re losing less money.”

Members of Congress were also there, but were not arrested. One reason why? It's literally illegal for DHS to bar any member of Congress from entering an immigration detention facility for the purposes of conducting oversight.

How's Donald Trump recognizing Mental Health Awareness Month?

By cutting services for our veterans, for students, and for our most vulnerable.

Make it make sense.

The mayor of Newark was arrested today while protesting at a federal immigration detention center operated by GEO Group — a private prison company and major Trump donor.

Kudos to Ras Baraka for standing up to this authoritarian regime.
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey mayor is arrested at ICE detention center where he was protesting its opening, acting US attorney says.

If you think for a single fucking second that suspending due process will stop with the people you don’t happen to like, then congratulations, because you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.

We've learned the Trump Administration has ILLEGALLY withheld over $430B in funds approved by Congress — gutting vital services including child care, disaster relief and more.

The courts must continue to hold this lawless president accountable, even if spineless congressional Republicans won't.

Today in America, the rich are getting richer & working families are struggling.

What is Mr. Trump doing about this?

He's getting ready to give tax cuts to billionaires while making it harder for Americans to access the Medicare, Social Security & veterans benefits they earned.

🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women.

Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

Ask yourself:

Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this?

Why would any decent human being do this?

The Constitution is clear: the President can't arrest people he disagrees with.

By detaining Mahmoud Khalil — a legal permanent resident whose American wife is 8-months pregnant — Donald Trump seeks to undermine basic freedoms.

We must oppose this move toward authoritarianism.

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

Call to action: Veterans March in DC on March 14. If you know a vet or active service member talk to them about the danger of the Trump regime and encourage them to participate.

The man publicly admitted during the FIFA interview yesterday that the election was rigged... No one cares.

With all the craziness going on is that his plan, to hide in plain sight? How is no one asking about this? The truth or the feeble mind... Both are concerning. We need action #OneVetsOpinion

Keep fighting 💪
Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:

He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.

He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.

He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.

Keep fighting.
