Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve: ✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education 👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own” ❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history 🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control. All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

As early as 1890, our nation realized that monopolies were the greatest threat to democracy & to free markets & we broke those up. The Sherman Antitrust Act & The Clayton Act & the FTC all forbid this kind of consolidation. Republicans & Democrats need to follow US Law & deny this takeover.

Paramount's hostile takeover doesn't have the spin something like Disney buying Fox did. The zeitgeist here isn't "yay Wolverine can be in the MCU now," it's going to be "Trump is directly getting involved in making sure Saudi Arabia owns Bugs Bunny" and any Dem not running against that is a fool

Paramount is launching a hostile takeover to own Warner Bros for $108.4 billion. Larry Ellison will control TikTok, Paramount, Warner Bros, CNN, CBS, HBO, and almost every major cable channel. This will be the most dangerous media consolidation in American history.

A Paramount-Warner Bros. merger would be a five-alarm antitrust fire. Not to mention it's backed by a who's who of Trump buddies and foreign money. The government's review of any deal needs to be based on the law and facts — not who sucked up the most to Donald Trump.

There was an ICE raid at some local KC restaurants where they trashed the places & took things. They were caught on camera in PA stealing food & alcohol. So, not the 1st time they felt entitled to take what wasn't theirs.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too? A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

Same vein: SCOTUS should have 13 members, one each from each district. Districts should elect their SCOTUS representative by 2/3 vote to serve a 5 year term after which point they return to their District Court seat. SCOTUS Justices are DC Judges and are covered by same ethics rules.

#Trump pardoned Tim Leiweke — who his own DOJ indicted in July for rigging a public university’s arena bid— It’s all a grift — Saudis to crypto to pardon seekers — everything gets turned into a revenue stream. With 1,500+ pardons already, clemency is a monetized market
The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln X.com

President Trump has now pardoned 12 members of Congress convicted of crimes varying from tax evasion, campaign corruption, lying to the FBI, bribery, insider trading, obstruction, etc.

If Jeff Epstein were alive today, he'd be a free man in Trump's America.
