Sean Duffy’s — the reality TV Transportation Secretary charged with keeping us safe during travels — plan for fixing our defunct airports is to let Jesus take the wheel. That’s it. We are all fucked, with the believers.

A 12-year-old boy was left behind on a street after an immigration raid in Waltham, Massachusetts. 

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were seen on camera leaving the boy by himself on a sidewalk after arresting the person he was with on Felton Street recently. Neighborhood Watch volunteers were able to get the boy home safely.

Why are HSI agents smashing car windows & abducting immigrants in Waltham, MA—again? No ID. No warrant. Just masked men asking “Are you legal?” like it’s 1942 Germany. Ramos Arucha stayed silent—as is his RIGHT. They shattered glass anyway. This is Gestapo-level terror #OnYourSide

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

Just amazing: Trump grew angry over a Biden-era program with the word "equity" in its name, so he ended it. But a key part of the program was sending money to red states to expand internet access in rural/MAGA country. Now they might not get it. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1950...

Angry Trump Kills “Woke” Program—and Accidentally Screws MAGA Voters
It’s called the Digital Equity Act. That word—“equity”—caught the White House’s attention. So now Trump is moving to nix funding—but it could cut off millions destined for red America.

Bragging about being “close to a trade deal” with South Korea is a joke—we already have one: KORUS—a free trade agreement signed in 2007 & updated in 2018. Nearly all tariffs are already gone. PS— Bessett sounds like a terrible negotiator. “We’ll see if they actually follow through.” Clown show.

⚠️ First, Trump targets sites like ActBlue that help fund his opponents. ⚠️ Next, it’ll be the voters themselves. And we better take that seriously.
Headline reads “Trump goes after websites that raise money for his enemies,” with a subheadline about ActBlue raising nearly $400 million since Trump took office.
