Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

Billions for ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich...

"That's just how it is."

Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

How the fuck is Corey Lewandowski in any position to fire a Coast Guard pilot?

What is his title?

What is his job?

What is his official position in the US government?

If you are Kristi Noemโ€™s boyfriend you get to fire Coast Guard officers?

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Federal judge rules DOJ can โ€˜no longerโ€™ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Departmentโ€™s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and statesโ€™ rights.

Responding to Latest Email Release, Paul Weiss Chair Expresses 'Regrets' Over Epstein Interactions | Law.com Brad Karp and Jeffrey Epstein corresponded about getting Karp's son involved with a Woody Allen film, among other topics, the records show.

Paul Weiss partners had no courage when this guy bent a knee and bowed down to Trump so I assume they won't do anything now. But every one of them with bear the mark of shame. www.law.com/americanlawy...

There is no legitimate reason for a sitting president to be in communication with field agents during an investigation.

The Fulton County ballot seizure is entirely compromised and corrupt.

DHS: Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area. Call 866-DHS-2-ICE.

If you are an illegal alien, you can take control of your departure using DHS.GOV/CBPHOME.

Arresting journalists.

Fatally shooting protestors.

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Leading American companies โ€” including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group โ€” raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.

Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

Sitting President attempts to steal $10 BILLION from taxpayers.

The most corrupt regime of our lifetimes. With no close second.

And the Hunter hunters are silent.

Pretti videos are far more damaging to them. That was an outright execution. Disarmed and on the ground after being pummeled by 6 to 8 masked goons.

1/ Sure DOJ has opened an investigation into Alex Pretti's homicide. But not Renee Good's. What's the difference? There's no logical reason to investigate one but not the other. So what's going on?

Pretty tough to blame Dems for a shutdown when Lindsey Graham is shutting the government down so he can get money from the taxpayers for himself.

Those who choose to be on this side of things can't be forgiven and must never be forgiven

If this is the message you are sending to the people in your life whose ancestors were hunted down and executed, they see you for exactly what you are now and know what you would have been to their ancestors

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year.

*That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.

An ICE agent attempted to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis, threatening the staff member who prevented him from entering.

Hello? ICE is so out of control that its agents think they can break international law.

Congress needs to rein them in yesterday.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.

It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.

Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Here's the thing, Greg โ€” free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Minneapolis shooting: What we know about Alex Pretti, the man killed by Border Patrol agent Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, was fatally shot Saturday morning by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis.

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot.

The time for talking is over. If you are an elected leader you have to tell us *now* what you are doing to end this nightmare ASAP.

The so-called party of free speech and small government is happily supporting armed, masked government agents conducting โ€œshow me your papersโ€ stops and brutalizing U.S. citizens.

Their real โ€œparty valuesโ€ are terrorizing communities of color and anyone else who speaks out.

Remember this.
