Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

Trump hosted a dinner last week for donors helping fund his ballroom project.
Today, crews are starting construction and literally tearing down parts of the White House.
It's day 20 of the government shutdown and this is what he's prioritizing?

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Trump signed an EO to combat "anti-Christian bias."
This week ICE shot a Christian Pastor, David Black & not one MAGA politician, pundit, or person has bothered to condemn it. Instead they celebrate it.
It was never about anti-Christian bias—it was always about fascism masquerading as Christianity

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

That speech is treasonous, not presidential.
Imagine if Obama had said this in front of military personnel about Republicans.
Trump to the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats."

My worst fear is that we have barely scratched the surface of what ICE has been doing.
A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.
ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.
A judge has ordered his immediate release.

“Fuck them kids.”
That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.
Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.
That’s not making America great again.

A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
