Remember, when Vance was caught spewing racist lies that Haitian immigrants were eating people's pets, he admitted that "if I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do."

Proudly, openly a liar.

Didn’t this happen in the morning, after Good dropped off her child at school? How is that “throughout the day” (or “stalking”)?
DHS official McLaughlin blatantly lies about Renee Good: "The deceased had been following our law enforcement throughout the day, stalking them. At the time of the incident, our law enforcement was outside their vehicle trying to get their vehicle out of the snow when she started harassing them."

This administration incited political violence that led to the storming of the US Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, and then issued 6,000 pardons to people who assaulted and brutalized police officers.

Democrats should demand the dismantling of ICE, congressional hearings into its operations and prosecution of its worst offenders, but at the VERY least they must refuse to spend our tax money to fund these masked goons who are terrorizing our communities.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Trump shows you his priorities–Big Oil companies.

“Running” Venezuela is all about enriching his donors.

The American people are done fighting foreign wars to pad the pockets of oil executives.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

"If you account for our kidnapping and renditioning operation that violates US statutes, the Constitution, and international law, the economy is doing great!" is one hell of a take
Hassett: "When you look at jobs numbers & see they're below 100, the below 100 thing isn't as disturbing as in the past bc a lot of it is reduced govt employment & we're deporting illegals. If you account for that, the expected jobs number for a strong month is a lot closer to what we're seeing."

The 'get their vehicle out of the snow' is such a blatant lie- I can't even. Just look at the videos. We midwesterners know there's barely any snow at all & the streets are plowed! Then look at the giant DHS SUVs. Yeah, sure one of those 4-wheel drive monsters was stuck in the snow. Good grief.

I know there are a lot of big stories. And I have long ago learned not to over-react to crazy things Trump says. But him telling the NYT that the only limitation on his power is his own conscience is profoundly disturbing. Because that is dictator territory. And because he has no conscience.
