The combination of ICE, CBP & Palantir, with a total budget approaching $200 billion, will create a tool of mass surveillance, political repression & state violence rivaled only by the CCP’s People’s Armed Police and Putin’s Rosgvardiya.

Ogles on Trump's big bill: "Now, ICE is gonna have the personnel and resources to come into cities like Nashville and New York and quite frankly deport people ... if Zohran fudged on his immigration forms, we may very well be deporting him. Time will tell."

As a resident of a terrified Los Angeles who sees the empty stores and neighborhoods, the suddenly unkempt lawns, and the nervous looks, he is in no way exaggerating.

This is a war on America, by the government. Get ready.

As a retired public school teacher, I can imagine a second grader asking me, Teacher, what's adultery?"

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.

We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

ICE is also the fault of a complicit press.

How, where and who did ICE recruit? Why isn't every newspaper in the country devoting themselves to finding out who is in this brand new secret police force that now terrorizes America?

It's the definition of newsworthy. The answer is: they're afraid.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors.

This ain’t about law and order.

This is what authoritarianism looks like.

agreed. though, as I understand it, the emoluments clause has no "teeth"
It would be easier to impeach him for his criminal acts (such as emoluments) .... than to prove him crazy and ask his administration to compel him to leave office- so we need to elect people who would stand against the corrupt and to end his corrupt Administration

As a party, we are prisoners being held hostage by people who simply refuse to accept that their time has passed and won’t accept that others more capable right now. Stay in the Senate, but step down from leadership. It’s time for a new approach, a new face, & a new voice.

Were they also drained of their blood after Dracula's Daughter's visit?
Matt Gaetz visited the El Salvador mega-prison (gulag) last summer and pitched the idea of sending migrants there to Stephen Miller aka the #NosferatuNazi.

Matt said the prisoners all looked “drained of hope” so naturally he found the idea very appealing.

Wikler: Musk deleted that tweet because he knows that that tweet was a crime, and it's still a crime in Wisconsin law. It is plain as day. You cannot promise something of value in order to induce someone to vote or refrain from voting. This is Wisconsin statute, and it's a felony to cross that line.

Listen to why this “MAGA junkie”—and others—regret voting for Trump after losing their jobs to DOGE cuts. It’s always the same: they expected better for themselves, not the rest of us. They were warned.
