chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/... many will say”if they are innocent, then they will simply be let go after processing”. Since when is it legal to enter a home without a warrant or charges, abduct all the occupants, destroy their property, throw them in jail, and simply let them go?

If you had posted “Trump is working with Project 2025” on October 3rd last year, every social media network would have hit you with false news strikes and demonetized your account.

Now, one year later, he can’t stop gloating about Project 2025.

Please respond with comments on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s plans to consolidate and move up to 70,000 employees into 5 regional offices. This will be devastating to the small businesses and communities as well as to the employees and their families.

This is the only opportunity to comment on the proposed USDA reorganization. As written, it will waste million$ and cost thousands of jobs. Services to the public will be cut and local economies will suffer. Send in your comments ASAP.

Heavy stuff.

The Regime desires to completely eliminate the Forest Service’s R&D division.

Shocking.

R&D is statutorily mandated.

R&D is part and parcel to management of the forests.

It’s how we keep communities & firefighters safe.

How we plan for the future.

This is wrong.

And unlawful.

They're deporting citizens. They're arresting judges. They're entering homes and arresting without warrants.

Tyranny is here.

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries.

They're eventually paid by us at the check out line.

And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.
