Mamdani: "We are talking a federal agency that is ripping families apart, that's willing to endanger the lives of a 5 year old child as well as any New Yorker in the surrounding area, % then after the fact, seeks to blame the person and the city at large as opposed to reflect upon their own actions"

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.

What is going on with our president? Calling people "THE ENEMY" for exercising their First Amendment rights is deeply disturbing. That's what autocratic leaders do, not American leaders. Doing so for such a trivial, vain matter is just nutty.

I’d like to think the American electorate has now grasped that it’s a bad idea to put in power a sadist, a malignant narcissist, a sociopath and an uneducated man who despises democracy and the Constitution and cares about money and self-aggrandizement more than anything else.

Trump’s Administration spent nearly $500 million on a fleet of planes it rarely uses. Meanwhile, Republicans are doing nothing to lower the price of gas, groceries, health care, or child care. They’re choosing where to spend, and it’s not on you.

House Democrats are laying the groundwork for a number of probes into Trump should they win control of Congress in November. Rep. Robert Garcia — who’d chair the House Oversight Committee — said “We’ve got a team on Epstein, we have a team on Trump family corruption, we have a team on DHS and ICE.”
