How Dems Can Tame ICE Start by forcing Republicans to defend it.

"In light of the depredations that have been carried out against the people of Minnesota, there should be an immediate requirement that ICE and the Border Patrol be withdrawn from that state...[and] a pause in...street operations anywhere in the country."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Call your Senators folks!

The American people will have to pay the price. Every time Trump doesn't get his way he ALWAYS claims he's being treated unfairly.

People talk too much about what Trump is doing and not nearly enough about those who voted for him again — if it wasn't for them, he wouldn't be doing any of it.

Trump’s Tangled Web of Deal-Making, Policy and Riches The president, his family and some of their closest associates have engaged in a sprawling campaign of deals that stretches across industries and the globe.

Great @nytimes.com reporting here: "Since his return to office, President Trump and his family have engaged in a moneymaking campaign like none in modern American history. It is enriching the family, as well as important officials and business partners." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
