A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities. I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.

Fox Producer: Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show AOC: He has sexualized and harassed me on his show. FP: That’s not true AOC: He accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman.

In a sane world after a deadly shooting committed by a federal agent, we could count on a decent response from a chastened federal govt. Instead, we can count on the Trump regime in Homeland Security and DOJ to lie about what happened. This is beyond appalling, as is the horrific act itself.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

The woman murdered by Trump's ICE troopers in Minneapolis has been identified as Renee Nicole Good. The Trump's thugs left 3 children orphaned and without a mother today.

ICE killing a woman in Minneapolis this morning is unspeakable. Now, the Trump Administration is blatantly lying about it, telling us not to believe our own eyes. I will stand up to Trump’s lies. I’m demanding accountability and will fight to get ICE out of our communities.

She was blocking an ICE CAR from moving down the street. In , what I would call, disrespectful language, one agent told her to “ move her fucking car right the fuck now”. She was in the process of backing up when the other agent shot her through the window 3 times, unprovoked. HE MURDERED HER.

Look carefully at the video of ICE executing the woman in Minn. NOT ONE other officer has their weapon drawn. Why? Because there was no threat to their lives by the 37 year old woman in the car. One ICE officer decided to execute this woman. This is what MURDER looks like. Charge him NOW!
