We need to get it lodged more firmly in the discourse that Trump and Stephen Miller are prioritizing removing nonviolent immigrants over public safety. They are sinking so many resources into their ethnic purification project that they're putting us in more danger.

A US citizen was shot and killed by ICE in Minneapolis today. There's no sugarcoating this; the President's security theater just cost someone their life.

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.
Scum.

Props to Nicole Wallace for extensive coverage of Jack Smith's House deposition on the 5th anniversary of J6 to remind us of Trump's culpability for the insurrection. Most MSM spent 24/7 on Venezuela. A massive, illegal distraction from J6 and the Epstein disclosure report statutorily due Jan 3.

So Capitol Police officers were assaulted and injured on Jan 6th, the White House today is blaming them for the violence, and the people who attacked them have been pardoned and are back to mock and abuse them on the 5th anniversary.
And the GOP is the party of the police? Really? REALLY??

Barbara McQuade in the repost below hits the bullseye. Trump pardoned the former President of Honduras, convicted of shipping tons of drugs into the US. Now arrests the President of Venezuela as a drug gang leader. At the deadline for release of all the Epstein files. Hypocrisy? Coincidence ?

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

How many military strikes does the MAGA Führer plan for 2026?
There has been no debate in the Congress — let alone across the nation — about war in Venezuela.
There is no congressional authorization and very dubious legal authority for these strikes.

Congratulations to the 19 states raising the minimum wage in 2026.
But let’s be clear: a $7.25 federal minimum wage is a national disgrace.
No one who works full-time should live in poverty. We must keep fighting to guarantee all workers a living wage — not starvation wages.
