Lawyers for the federal government have filed a motion to expedite the deportation of Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old boy in a bunny hat who was detained by ICE agents in Minnesota. A lawyer for Liam and his father said the family had legally entered the U.S. through a humanitarian program.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

We need a full and complete investigation into Renee Good’s death. The DOJ is refusing to do so. It’s yet another disgraceful cover-up.
Screenshot of an X.com post by FactPost (@factpostnews) quoting an “MN Doctor” saying they learned Renee Good still had a pulse eight minutes after being shot by an ICE agent, and that a physician’s offer to administer aid at the scene was denied, adding it angers medical staff trying to fulfill their duty to care for Minnesotans. Below the text is a photo of a man speaking at a podium in front of a group of people wearing white coats.

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.
A tweet from BrooklynDad_Defiant! says: “No words. If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research... I have nothing left to say to you.” The image shows an illustration of a bald child in a hospital gown, holding an IV pole and looking into an opulent golden ballroom filled with formally dressed adults.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

If they truly believed their policies were popular, they wouldn’t try so hard to win by gerrymandering the maps everywhere.
A tweet from Wiley Nickel reads: “North Carolina Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud. Openly admitting to drawing a congressional map for Donald Trump. It’s not just politics — it’s corruption. North Carolinians deserve free and fair elections, not gerrymandered districts.” Below, a video still shows a man speaking at a podium with yellow caption text reading: “Republicans hold a razor thin margin in the United States.”
