ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens

A president who paid his way out of military service, and is trying hard to screw over veterans by massively slashing staff at the VA, is throwing a military parade in his own honor at the taxpayers expense. Such a massively dystopian moment that somehow still won't register with conservatives.

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands.
It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

I am just going to say it. If you were DELIBERATELY trying to destabilize the United States, you would probably begin by betraying veterans, federal employees, especially those with extremely high level clearances, tanking the economy, and and turning on all of your nation's allies.

If a government can threaten the lawyers who challenge it, what’s left of the rule of law? Power fears accountability and will always make dissent costly. The legal community needs to grow a pair and stand together, because if they fold, we all do.

There are so many ways this Presidential Administration tells us who they are. Here is another: Forcing existing contracts to be modified to remove the Prohibition of Segregated Facilities and Equal Opportunity requirements. Technically an optional mod (sign or never get more work).

Federal employees are restricted to mission critical travel only, even local travel. Mission critical travel being defined by a Trump appointee. Meanwhile, Trump has visited Mar a Lago several times, costing more than $18,000,000 to spend more than 1/4 of his time golfing. Must be mission critical?

Let's have states exert 'state rights' in meaningful way. Pass laws to specifically forbid certain illegal federal actions, like sweeping up US citizens in immigration raids. Make it a felony at the state level. Many of the illegal actions happening now can be made illegal at the state level.

Chief 'Justice' Roberts is growing concerned re: threats against judges. Perhaps he shouldn't have ruled that the President is immune to criminal prosecution. You know, from when he encouraged the storming of the capital where they intended to MURDER the Vice President. You think judges are immune?

This is novel. They are finally taking a legal approach to reducing the federal workforce. However, I hope people considering it realize that the $25,000 offered isn't going to go that far under the current Trump economy (tanking markets, rising unemployment AND inflation, a real accomplishment)

Dear Elon Musk, Thanks for creating a bizarro world where your Muskovites consider veterans and civil servants who serve the nation grifters or traitors, but you, who took many billions of gov't dollars for businesses that would have otherwise failed is the 'true hero'

They started with the undocumented, then they went after visa holders and permanent residents, now it's naturalized citizens.

The cuts to the VA are unacceptable and put our veterans at risk. These individuals have sacrificed so much for our country, and it is our duty to ensure they receive the care and support they deserve.

Conservatives are all about freedom of speech for corporate 'persons' when it involves pouring billions of dark money dollars into their campaigns and wallets. Not so much for businesses who prioritize hiring well qualified women and minorities over less qualified white men. Courtesy E.O. 14173
