I just retired as federal worker, working at CG headquarters in DC. I loved working for the CG, but they’ve been bought out by Trump. Gifted $7 billion in trumps BBB the CG didn’t ask for. But they have plenty of ideas on how to spend. Broke my heart seeing senior CG leadership fawning over this.

In Chicago this weekend.

Trump's thugs beat the hell out of this young guy who was just standing there.

He is now in the hospital.

The thug who beat him was doxxed by the female activist who Border Patrol shot on Saturday.

He went from the scene of the shooting to this.

Kristi Noem blasts β€œforeigners” for dangerous driving. According to the Rapid City Journal, that state’s court records show Noem had 20 speeding tickets dating back to 1989, alongside other violations, including failure to stop at an intersection and invalid license plates.

I'm a member of AFGE, even though I'm retired now. But, seeing this crap from AFGE pisses me off, and makes me wonder why I continue being a union member.

It’s not legal. The president cannot just decide to redirect funds congress has or hasn’t allocated. Whoever the finance officer is who signs off on redirecting these funds - they have to know they are acting illegally.

Nice these AGs are condemning trumps actions. Will these AGs provide resources to these nonprofits to assist defending them?

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

So if Russ Vought and Bob Kennedy were deliberately trying on behalf of an enemy to sicken and kill Americans by destroying the public health structure - what would they be doing differently?

β€œYOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)
