I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

The war in Iran is the reason gas is $5 and diesel is $7. Mike Rogers has been cheerleading the war since the beginning, calling it a win, win, win. I don't know about you, but when I fill up my tank I don't feel like I'm winning.

The covid lockdowns showed that reducing immigration has barely an impact on housing prices. However axing the CGT credit did. 👉 Why are some still pretending that there is a problem which reducing immigration will solve? Because it gets them votes.

One person has died in Russia and the media's hair is on fire. So far this year, the DRC has reported 9000+ cases and 3700+ deaths from Ebola, a disease with an almost 50% mortality rate. The Trump has cut aid funding, while front line medical workers go unpaid. The media's response...crickets.

Q: If Project 2025 was a blueprint for destroying America, why did 77M MAGAts vote for Trump?! A: Some didn’t believe he’d do it, many didn’t care if he did, and most didn’t know about Project 2025 at all because FOX News didn’t cover it.

DHS reportedly collected data about anti-ICE protestors in Maine, uploading their photos and license plate numbers into a database. That database was built by Palantir — which may be the most dangerous corporation in America. Watch.

This is now a standard part of Trump's campaign stump, a direct threat to voters: if you elect Democrats, I won't send you FEMA money, and I may take away your Medicare and Medicaid, too. These transcripts will be useful for litigation to follow.

In 2015, Trump said he’d serve Xi a McDonald’s hamburger instead of a state dinner. He said state dinners cost a fortune and slammed Obama for honoring Xi. So what did Trump do last week? Throw Xi a lavish state dinner in the White House.
