Shouldn't the Democrats have something like an Elon Donations Tracker posted on all of their websites and social media? Make this SALIENT? Might it make sense to point out repeatedly that he is a white supremacist and ask the public why he would be backing the GOP?

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

23. But the story does not end with Schmitt, because his story is part of a larger story – a conspiracy, you might say – to stop the public from fully understanding what the president did in the wake of his defeat to Joe Biden, which is to say that he's guilty of treason.

Dems need to commit to finding every one of these renditioned people, repatriating them with full citizenship and reparations. They can use the money from nationalizing Elon's companies and zeroing out DHS/ICE's budget

🧐 From starting trade wars with your closest allies to starting shooting wars because another president's name was on a nuclear agreement you tore up, thinking is difficult. That's why Trump ran for president as a Republican. And why Republicans are their own worst enemies.

“The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.” Fleeing. The vehicle was driving away. That’s murder. A legal resident of the United States is now dead. The threat to public safety is ICE. It must be eliminated.
Homeland Security: On July 13, 2026, at approximately 7:00 AM ET, ICE was conducting targeted surveillance on the last known address of an illegal alien with a final order of removal. An illegal alien departed the residence in a vehicle. ICE law enforcement attempted to conduct a vehicle stop. The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.

The driver of the vehicle was struck, and emergency services were immediately contacted. He passed away from his injuries. 
 
The Biddeford Police Department and FBI responded to the scene. DHS OIG has been notified and like all discharge of firearms this will be investigated. This is a developing situation, and we will update the public when more information is available.
