I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.
Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.
Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

The “fluoride removal” bit is a solution in search of a problem.
Fluoride levels in Florida are completely safe, help prevent cavities, and keep kids in school.
Where’s the evidence it’s been remotely harmful? There isn’t any.
No ethics, no morals, all smoke and mirrors.

Efforts to drive down the smoking rate have worked: We're at a 75-year low for smoking and a 25-year low for vaping. Now the CDC office credited with some of that work is gone.
I met with teens in West Virginia who were sad to see their anti-vaping group cut:

DEMOCRATS! Throwing Joe Biden under the bus won’t help you.
•It won’t win over the base.
•It won’t boost your approval.
•It won’t bring back voters who sat out 2024.
•It won’t fix 2026.
It makes you look petty while Trump is burning it all down. REPAIR AND BUILD THE PARTY!

Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding?
The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

Bone chilling.
A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.
