The Big Lies at the Heart of Trump’s Mass-Deportation Campaign Trump conceals how immigrants help the economy and commit relatively few crimes.

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

Trumpism and RFK Jr, its crazed witch doctor, are dragging us all back into the Dark Ages. And we are, all of us, yawning at the spectacle.

Middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet Last year, people in the U.S. made an estimated $4.7 billion selling their plasma. Donation centers are popping up in middle-class neighborhoods, including suburban strip malls and college towns.

This is a real thing that's happening in our economy and the people in charge thought the best idea was to cut our healthcare to give billionaires tax breaks?

The biggest bombshells from the WSJ expose into Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski Newspaper describes ‘constant chaos’ at Department of Homeland Security under Noem’s leadership

DHS is shutting down. Why? Because Democrats took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and ICE is lawless and out of control. We cannot fund an agency that is murdering our citizens, tear gassing school zones, and disappearing legal immigrants.

Unconfirmed political hack Corey Lewandowski gets to make policy decisions at a massive federal agency as well as hiring and firing key personnel because he’s having an affair with Kristi Noem. Allegedly, since they continue to deny it even though everyone knows it.

Donald Trump & his cronies are trying to block me from doing my job at every turn.

But we’re fighting back, and we’re winning.

The American people deserve leaders committed to free speech, the rule of law, and keeping America safe.

New AP-NORC poll:

Only 36% of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing as president.

Trump is 20 points underwater on the economy and 22 points underwater on immigration.

69% say the country is on the wrong track. Only 29% say we're on the right track.

Good God. Trump's Council of Economic Advisors are either clueless or sycophants. Why not both?

In govts around the world, people in the Epstein files are resigning in disgrace.

In private business, executives in the files are resigning in disgrace.

In the Trump admin, nothing happens since the boss is in the files more than anyone and his party is filled with cowards.
