ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

ACLU: “Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troops in response to protests is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power. By taking this action, the Trump administration is… recklessly undermining our foundational democratic principle that the military should not police civilians"

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.
This is not lawful.

Russian assets are in charge of our national security. I strongly suspect Russia will soon have access to all our national security secrets, if they don't already. Never in my lifetime (before Trump) has anyone in the government claimed the US was "very good friends" with Russia.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Trump and Putin:
"We have two leaders of two great countries who are very good friends and very focused on how we can strengthen the shared objectives and shared interests."

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

You have $100 in your checking account.
One day, you check your balance and it's $60. You haven't made any withdrawals.
You call the bank. They say $40 was taken as part of their "waste, fraud and abuse" program.
Would you be ok with it?
Coz it's happening to your social security and Medicaid.
