What do these corporations have in common?

-Amazon
-AT&T
-Home Depot
-Microsoft
-Palantir

They all reaped billions in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill β€” and are actively collaborating with ICE's deportation machine.

Always follow the money.

Liam Ramos is also experiencing stomach pain, vomiting, fever and a complete loss of appetite, made worse by poor-quality food in detention. Attorneys who have visited the facility say the children inside are mentally broken.

LIAM NEEDS A DOCTOR.

Exclusive: US gets first $500 million Venezuelan oil deal, holding some proceeds in Qatar The details shared with Semafor mark an initial milestone in the administration’s plan following the ouster of NicolΓ‘s Maduro.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

β€œThere is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Kelly Morrison on a Twin Cities ICE facility she & other members of Congress tried to visit: "We were told to leave. We met with 2 of the commanding officers & they told us the reason we were not able to stay & meet with detainees is because the funding for ICE came from the 'Big Beautiful Bill.'"

Top Democrats decline to say if they would rein in ICE after Minnesota shooting Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries denounce the killing but offer no concrete pledges

I am begging Democratic leadership to recognize that funding and legitimizing your authoritarian opponent’s secret police is a bad idea.

This should not be a difficult concept.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

After viewing the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota- he then proceeds to lie about EVERYTHING in it, aside from the fact that it is, indeed, "a horrible thing to watch."

Feds’ statements after Minneapolis driver killed by ICE officer echo pattern from Midway Blitz in Chicago The feds’ statementΒ recalls claims from DHS in the aftermath of two federal agent-involved shootings that took place during Chicago’s β€œOperation Midway Blitz.”

The people of this nation are now living in constant fear of what the Trump Administration may do next.

DHS and ICE are losing credibility as their lies and lawlessness are creating chaos and tragedies.

Shame on those using these moments to incite terror.

This is blatantly illegal. A president can’t go into the oil business and then decide where to spend the money. We are completely untethered from our founding document with a lawless president and a Republican Congress which has abdicated all Constitutional authority.

This was murder. Trump is defending a murder, a murder committed on his behalf.

America is not being made safe. It is becoming more dangerous each and every day because Donald Trump is a criminal who commands and encourages others to commit crimes on his behalfβ€”as he has done for years.

According to MAGA, Renee Good, just sitting in her car, is a domestic terrorist, but Kyle Rittenhouse, shooting strangers in the street with an assault weapon, is not.

These people are such shameless, twisted liars.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.

Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.

And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.

Trump doesn't care about drugs β€” he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

It's a power grab.

Opinion | Trump’s Attack on Venezuela Is Illegal and Unwise We know that Mr. Trump’s warmongering violates the law.

In Opinion

President Trump β€œis pushing our country toward an international crisis without valid reasons,” the editorial board writes after the U.S. attack on Venezuela was announced on Saturday. β€œIf Mr. Trump wants to argue otherwise, the Constitution spells out what he must do: Go to Congress.”
