I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

I'd love to know how many of these Death Squad "agents" have past criminal records & if they've SERIOUSLY been psychologically evaluated.
Given the impunity they've been granted, you can BET on the fact that every disturbed individual who has ever fantasized abt murdering ppl will be applying.

Whoever wants the Dem nom in 2028 needs to recognize this moment for what it is and start taking SMART actions accordingly. Will ANYONE meet recognize what's happening and step up? I'm watching, I'm waiting.

WHAT. THE. FUCK?!!!!
From Senator Chris Murphy, Connecticut
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Damn, Bill Clinton just called Trump & Pam Bondi's bluff. Clinton released a statement calling on Bondi to release all of the Epstein files that mention him - including photos.
This is what a president with a spine looks like.
Meanwhile, Trump is having the FBI scrub his name from the files.

This is regressive nonsense. We've been down this road before. Remember the days of the masses being UNDER-insured? That's what this is. And THIS is exactly what lead to needing the ACA in the first place.

Reuters has done some really great investigative reporting on the impacts of Trump's retribution campaigns
Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
