Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Pritzker should turn himself in. Make it the biggest spectacle of the day. Force them to back up their bullshit bluster and meritless claims. Make them look like the buffoons they are and smile the whole time

CNN: β€œAn older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 β€” 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

I’ve lived in GOP-dominated states my entire life, and I can tell you one thing about Republican lawmakers: they don’t care about us.

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that might’ve told you the federal government wasn’t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts.

Actually got a comment from the judge: β€œIs this really how you’re going to move forward?”

A DEI hire running the military is lecturing our Generals about DEI.

A drunken frat boy running the military is now encouraging bullying and hazing and no longer allowing whistleblower or discrimination complaints.

Standards were lowered for the appointment of Pete Hegseth and it shows!

Khanna: "We have to understand how abnormal this is. You don't mock someone and put a video out about how they look. You don't ever mock people's ethnicity. How do you negotiate with that? And how have we made this normal?"

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

MIKE JOHNSON: We have to ensure that the rule of law applies to everyone

TAPPER: Does the rule of law apply to people who stormed the Capitol on January 6?

JOHNSON: Apparently there were 274 FBI agents in the crowd

TAPPER: They were sent there to do crowd control. It wasn't a false flag operation

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.
