The idea that ICE is in LA to protect citizens from dangerous immigrants is clearly not the case when the community is pushing back. Who are they protecting? Or to be more precise, what are they protecting?

I am not sure if I am more horrified by the lawlessness of this action or threat it encompasses. We need the men and women of our military, who know they serve our country not some dictator or his lackeys, to stand up and refuse unlawful orders. Only that will stop this terrifying trajectory.

Gee, I sure hate to hear that morale among ICE is super low right now. Have they tried casual Fridays, or $10 TGIF gift cards, or, I don't know, refusing to do brownshirt shit?

Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, bungled answers on Tuesday about habeas corpus, incorrectly saying that the legal right of people to challenge their detention by the government was actually the president’s “constitutional right” to deport people.

Dem loyalists are up in arms about this and pushing back by misconstruing the issue. The issue isn't Biden. It's the DNC, & the fact they appear to have put loyalty ahead of defeating Trump, yet again. That bears on their fitness to resist Trump now.

This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

If Trump is serious about making real change rather than just issuing a press release, he will support legislation I will introduce to ensure we pay no more for prescription drugs than people in other major countries. If we come together, we can get it passed in a few weeks.
