A report by Reuters found that courts ruled ICE illegally jailed people more than 4,400 times. The Trump administration's unlawful, anti-immigrant rampage must be checked.

Tell Congress at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks- to hold the line and rein in ICE's abuses now.

Americans live in a country where the leader can order the murder of anyone he wants, and doesn’t even need to explain why. The rule of law is gone. Republicans killed it.

Tell your members of Congress: Vote YES on the Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution and end President Trump’s unconstitutional and unauthorized use of military force against Iran.

Only Congress has the constitutional power to authorize war.

Yet, the Trump administration is once again taking unilateral and reckless military action against Iran, putting both servicemembers and civilians in danger. This is unconstitutional.

so great to live in a time when Republicans would rather allow a new and illegal war because they’re embarrassed to admit their President is a paedophile

I don't know but seems to me that what they did in Venezuela was probably because they knew they would do this with Iran and wanted to secure oil. They've been plotting all this out for some time.

Well unfortunately there are a lot of Americans who do not give a shit about anything unless it impacts them directly - the "I don't like to talk about politics" types. Maybe they'll wake the fuck up now.

I never really understood why more people didn’t look at Donald Trump and think this guy could really destroy everything.

This deserves to be shared - what we all mutter to ourselves on a daily basis to this corrupt and morally and ethically rotten administration.

This is so spot on. I've noticed a very similar personality trait, they seem to be the type of people who easily fall prey to scams like the get rich quick type of scams or products hyped on infomercials by these "doctors" promising all sorts of results.

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)

These are not serious people or good faith actors.

How about future trials? I'm not sure that ballroom will be big enough for the level of corruption and lawlessness of this administration.

I've lived in Texas 40 years. I remember when Ann Richards, a Democratic woman was governor. Texas ranked 7th in education then. After almost 3 decades under Republican control, Texas now ranks 40th overall and 47th in reading.

Tell me again why Republican need to be in charge.

Time for a change.

Does anyone know, if we were living in normal times, what should happen to Boebert for doing this? Censured? Kicked off committee? I was just wondering what the normal protocol would have been.

She's exactly the type of fraud that Trump would put in his administration. Perfect match for RFK Jr., Dr. Oz, Casey Means and the like.
