An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

It truly is amazing that Tulsi got this job and is keeping it right now. Good thing for her she befriended Lara Trump.

And to think .... TFG spent $45 million of OUR tax dollars for his selfish birthday celebration. Think of how many much needed social programs that $45 million could have helped. SMDH.

When you normalize political violence by pardoning Jan 6 attackers, can we be surprised when people target public officials? This is not how we resolve our disputes in America. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp-vid...

The #dollar's crown is slipping, and fast‼️👇🏼 The dollar has sunk to its lowest in three years as rapidly changing #U.S. trade policy unsettles markets and expectations build for #FederalReserve rate cuts, fuelling outflows from the world's biggest economy. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

In just five days, Trump’s administration indicted a Democratic member of Congress for engaging in oversight, threatened to arrest a Democratic governor for governing in accord with his mandate, and handcuffed a Democratic senator for asking a question at a press event. Join tomorrow’s protest!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles. THIS is waste and abuse.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

Violence is never acceptable—of course, I condemn it.   But I've also got news for everyone: the President who pardoned criminals who beat police officers nearly to death DOESN'T care about public safety.   Trump just wants more chaos as pretext to further abuse his authority.
