Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them โ€œviolent mobs,โ€ but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

๐Ÿ“Œ Keep sharing videos, everyone, because theyโ€™re evidence.

โ€œJobs are boomingโ€ is Treasury Secretary-speak for โ€œmost-announced-job-cuts-for-a-full-year-since-2020.โ€

โ€œInflation is fallingโ€ is Treasury Secretary-speak for โ€œinflation-is-at-an-eight-month-high.โ€

Please join me in sending one message to the Dems:

DO. NOOTTTTTTT. FUCKING. CAVE!!!!

Donโ€™t you fucking do it!!

If they want government open, THEY have to bend and come to us, and not with some bullshit deal that lasts just until they get reelected.

We have already suffered. DO NOT make it

More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents ProPublica uncovered that Americans have been kicked, dragged, and detained for days.

ICE has beaten, detained & arrested 170 citizens, at least 3 of whom were pregnant

George Retes is a US veteran who was held in solitary for 3 days

Kristi Noem says itโ€™s not happening, but @motherjones.com has done the reporting

If they treat citizens this way, imagine what they do to immigrants

Plus, spices and oils aren't cheap, and you usually can't buy just a little at a time.

โ€ชICE Barbie, Kristi Noem, claimed today that her goons have not detained or arrested any US citizens.

Of course, this is a proven lie.

It's the next step, right? New fancy ballroom. Gotta have everyone looking sharp. Plus, ICE goons could really use a makeover.

Any idea who made the coat in this photo? Hugo Boss would be a little too on the nose.

I'm kind of hoping for whichever company/designer made this coat to speak up and maybe disassociate themselves from his fascist vibe.

They are trying so hard to convince you that the party in control of the White House and both chambers of Congress isnโ€™t to blame for whatโ€™s coming.

Damn, I really miss trick-or-treating in the 70s. My parents' friends actually asked for a trick. Doing a cartwheel was my signature move.

I've been thinking that the only thing missing from the Trump regime was some designer uniforms. Guess I was wrong.

When Trump said he would bring on a "New Golden Age," he was talking about his wallet.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During todayโ€™s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

ZERO arrests at No Kings in NYC. (And the NYPD isnโ€™t notorious for being sympathetic with people anti-Trump.)

This proves what shameless liars Speaker Mike Johnson & Karoline Leavitt are to slander the participants as violent anarchists.
