Itโs a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

Rightly confident in his impunity.
Republicans in Congress could end the Trump shutdown today by passing a budget deal that protects your health care and takes away Trumpโs blank checks.

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago.

๐จ Federal ICE THUGS on top of the Broadview, IL federal building ROOF are SHOOTING non-lethal rounds, including pepper balls and tear gas, at protesters AND the media who pose no threat behind a locked fence.
Americans are being shot at for exercising their rights.
As a US Atty, I prosecuted and oversaw police excessive force cases. We took them seriously because they were serious abuses of power. What we're seeing now is the outbreak of an epidemic & instead of being condemned by fed'l law enforcement leaders, it seems to be tolerated if not encouraged.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and heโd still have a job.

Brian Kilmeade wants to murder unhoused Veterans then?
