I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.

Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpasβ€”and the community was not having it.

Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Hmmm, maybe Republicans should face some consequences for lying about Project 2025 & how DOGE is saving massive amounts of money. Also how tariffs will fix the economy. Also how tax breaks for the rich are good for the economy. I am fine w Biden still. The comparison isn’t even close.

The β€œfluoride removal” bit is a solution in search of a problem.

Fluoride levels in Florida are completely safe, help prevent cavities, and keep kids in school.

Where’s the evidence it’s been remotely harmful? There isn’t any.

No ethics, no morals, all smoke and mirrors.

Trump Budget Cuts Hobble Antismoking Programs

Efforts to drive down the smoking rate have worked: We're at a 75-year low for smoking and a 25-year low for vaping. Now the CDC office credited with some of that work is gone.

I met with teens in West Virginia who were sad to see their anti-vaping group cut:

I love to dance. I am always on the dance floor at parties. I am 70 and don’t give a crap about what people think of my dancing. As I aged I took up swing dancing & I could go to venues & dance w everyone. It was all ages & so fun. That’s the up side to aging….

DEMOCRATS! Throwing Joe Biden under the bus won’t help you.

β€’It won’t win over the base.
β€’It won’t boost your approval.
β€’It won’t bring back voters who sat out 2024.
β€’It won’t fix 2026.

It makes you look petty while Trump is burning it all down. REPAIR AND BUILD THE PARTY!

Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding?

The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facilityβ€”when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

i have no doubt that senator van hollen was genuinely concerned for the safety and welfare of abrego garcia BUT ALSO this is what i'm talking about when i say POLITICAL AMBITION. van hollen may well make himself a household name and nationally recognized political figure with this move

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

The FDA fired its tobacco enforcers. Now it wants them back. The agency asked laid-off workers to return after gutting the office that penalizes stores for selling tobacco to minors.

The FDA is asking laid-off employees to temporarily return after mass cuts decimated the agency’s ability to penalize stores that sell cigarettes and vapes to minors.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.
