Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record.

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.
I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.

Facts that are available for anyone to view.

Trump 1.0 left Biden the 9% inflation rate, and Biden had to work to get it down to 2.9% and handed it off to Trump 2.0, so he could and IS screw up our economy AGAIN.

It will get worse and will only be corrected with the removal of Trump in 2028.

Elon should understand that this our continent and we have our rules here. If Musk feels like he does not want to abide by these rules with his platform, he might as well pull Twitter from the EU market. Personally I do not think that the EU would suffer that much from it.

I remember when I was a kindergartner, and our class had a pet contest. I brought my parakeet and he won First Prize for Yellowest Bird. I was so proud. It was years later that I realized every pet in the show got a prize.

And even that one was more meaningful than the one Trump just got.

The top drug regulator abruptly resigned. Staff complaints piled up. Outside experts warned FDA was in trouble.

That was a month ago, prompting urgent meetings. Leaders soon claimed problems were fixed.

Then it all happened again in the past week.

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”

The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.

It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.
