I would just like to take a moment to exercise my constitutional rights today to say that Karoline Leavitt is a lying, hypocritical twat, and that the President of the United States is a lying sack of shit. Also, you missed this sign on the WH lawn, you fucking goblins.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.
This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Francisco Goya – "The Third of May 1808" (1814)
Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain: Targeting Napoleon’s regime, the work broadly condemns kings and rulers who wield power brutally, holding them accountable for the blood of the innocent. Goya’s visceral depiction demands reckoning for such atrocities.

Taxing the top 20 at 90% ($2.34T), next 20 at 75% ($675B), and next 60 at 50% ($600B) totals $3.615 trillion. That’s spot-on for the $3–4 trillion kickstart—surplus at the low end, slightly short at the high end. It could rebuild war-torn economies and slash poverty for a year...

With $3.615 trillion:
Low End ($3T): We’re $615 billion ahead—a surplus.
High End ($4T): We’re $385 billion short.
This lands us squarely in the target zone, covering 90–120% of the goal depending on the exact need.
