“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.” -Dwight Eisenhower 1953

NEW: Major, BFD action by blue states standing up to ICE. Maryland, on Tuesday, banned local law enforcement from being part of ICE's notorious 287(g) program.  That automatically forces *9* sheriffs out of their ICE contract! And New Mexico did the same last week:

Governors Lujan Grisham and Moore signed laws barring local sheriffs and police from partnering with ICE’s 287(g) program, joining a string of ten states with similar prohibitions.

He destroyed our economy and everyone knows it. Whatever he or his voters would like to believe about what he did, the numbers do not lie. We are seeing the worst job growth in over two decades and it is explicitly tied to bad decisions he made and then lied about. He's pathetic.
