This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged. Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by our economy? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.

It’s time to open the books. An investigation needs to be opened into just how much has been spent on the deportations, the detainments, the unknown Stasi. The hotels, per diems. I want to know how much of taxpayer money has been spent to date. How they’re being paid, how much they’re being paid.

The Trump administration wants you to believe: ‘There’s an invasion at our border that requires the military.’ OR ‘The border is closed and Trump did the impossible!’ WHICH IS IT?!!

OMG! 👑🔥👑🔥👑🔥 I've never been prouder of my Dutch ancestry than I am today. Netherlands Queen Máxima is the wife of King Willem-Alexander. She became queen consort upon his accession to the throne in 2013. Real Queens know when they are standing next to a fake, tacky, wannabe king. 👑 #Respect 🇳🇱

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted. Know the truth.

Watching Truth Social posts by Trump every hour, each more insane & unhinged than the previous one as he circles the drain of a malignant narcissist’s descent into dementia, makes it that much more ridiculous that media just spent a month on Biden while pretending Trump is sane.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking. I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
