Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

I am trying to figure out if legacy media lets Republicans lie without correction because they think it's good journalism or because they don't know the facts well enough to point them out.

Speaker Mike Johnson calls the βNo Kingsβ rally a βmanifestation of hatred of the United States.β

The only time I will agree with mr trump: yep, ANTIFA is anti-fascist (anti-trump, anti-magat). We fought wars to defend against fascism. He is turning even the word upside down. Resist & persist!
