One, they throw around threats when they know they’re going to lose.

We do neither ourselves nor the individuals in question any favors by making them into billionaires. It’s a state of life that humans are not equipped to handle. We should ban the existence of billionaires, not out of jealousy, but out of compassion for them and the rest of us.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

There might be a reason that the U.S. Constitution doesn’t assign decisions on the discretionary use of military force to the erratic whims of one man.
A U.S. military aircraft carrier strike group and other assets will arrive in the Middle East region in the coming days, two U.S. officials said, even as President Trump voices hopes of avoiding new military action against Iran.

I can’t get the face of this autistic woman out of my mind.
She was driving through an area where ICE was active when they forcibly removed her from her car. She was on her way to a brain injury clinic appointment. She screamed as they carried her away that she was autistic and had a brain injury.
