I went on Fox News this morning to tell conservatives what is happening to their nation. ICE is out of control - teargassing schools, murdering American citizens, and obliterating the constitutional rights Republicans claim to care about. Every citizen should want this to stop.

CT police: Cops must intervene if they see excessive force by feds A CT law that requires police to intervene when they see abuse by other officers applies to immigration agents, top police officials said.

β€œIt doesn’t matter what patch they’re wearing… You have to pull them aside, whether verbally or physically. You’re helping them, you’re saving them from doing something potentially tragic. So that’s a good statute.” - CT Police trainer

Ryan Fazio voted against this.

They won’t talk about the elephant in the room. Here’s the thing: their silence is an endorsement of Trump’s violence. Was true on Jan 6, 2021. It’s true today.

CT legislators to pitch bill to allow lawsuits against federal agents CT Democrats said they will propose a bill allowing residents to sue federal agents for violations of their constitutional rights.

They call us the Constitution State. Democrats in CT are going to protect everyone's Constitutional rights. Republicans are cheering on the masked agents eager to tread all over them.

Trump is destroying our alliances and trampling the Constitution with complete support of today’s Republican Party. With their help, he’s making sure his 19th-century economic policy is making everything cost more for non-billionaire Americans.

If, like Erin Stewart, you want to be the β€œsame type of leader” as Trump; if, like Ryan Fazio, you voted for Trump 3 times and admire him; if you covet Trump’s endorsement for Governor like Betsy McCaughey, STAND UP FOR TRUMP’S β€œVALUES” and say this is what you want to see in Connecticut.

One year ago, Trump was sworn in to office. Since then, he has:

-Tanked the economy with his tariffs
-Refused to release all the Epstein files
-Kicked millions of Americans off their health care
-Occupied cities with ICE and the National Guard
-Demolished the East Wing

They don’t hide their face behind a mask,” Lamont said. β€œThe ICE agents are not proud of what they do. They do not want body cams. They cover their face and it creates an incredibly hostile and dangerous environment.”

Trump’s actions are an affront to the Constitution. He’s dragging us into a war the American people don’t want and Congress never declared. If any Republican wants a seat in CT’s delegation, they should speak out today and wholeheartedly embrace or condemn Trump’s illegal war.

The Trump administration is once again trying to illegally shut down Revolution Wind. They already lost in court and a federal judge allowed the project to move forward. This new order ignores the court and the law, and we’re fighting back.

For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.

When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

Spoiler alert: the Republicans running for governor are all-in on Trump.
