Is the government giving the money or is Trump just saying it will?

Don't wait for someone to get hurt. Stop and pile up anything you can find around the hazard to make it obvious so others can avoid. Call the local authorities and send them a picture.

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

Single frame. Angus Taylor at table with generic colleague at whiteboard holding marker. On whiteboard, two headings: โ€œGOOD IMMIGRANTSโ€ and โ€œBAD IMMIGRANTSโ€.

Since October, federal courts have ruled more than 4,400 times that ICE is illegally jailing immigrants.

Now the agency wants to spend $38B to turn warehouses across the country into detention camps.

Remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies running these camps.

Senator Calls to Abolish ICE, Says Voting to Fund DHS Supports โ€œMurderโ€ โ€œAnyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans,โ€ said Sen. Ed Markey.

Sen. Markey has been calling to abolish ICE since late January

โ€œRight now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. . . We can stop this. Not one penny more for the Department of Homeland Security.โ€

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

FYI: If Trump weren't a pedophile, he would be suing for defamation.

Rep. Massie wants it known publicly that if something bad were to happen, it would not be something he did. Itโ€™s a good tactic.
