This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

TRUMP: “I’ll never apologize. You have to live with it. I did the right thing.” Trump has no remorse about ⛽️ hitting $4 per gallon — and congressional Republicans go right along with his war in Iran, even voting for another $95 BILLION for it last month.

ICE agents give contradictory orders on purpose. “You f*cking move I’ll f*cking tase you! Get out of the f*cking car!” It’s a no win situation. The person being violently accosted in this video is a disabled veteran. Imagine if the agents had been wearing shock gloves? Abolish & prosecute ICE

Texas is changing—and so are its suburbs. James Talarico just drew 4,000+ people in Plano, the heart of Collin County, once considered a Republican fortress. Crowds don't vote by themselves, but they do signal energy. Voters don't work for politicians. Politicians work for voters. #Texas #Vote
