This is a BFD. Rand Paul and Tom Massie have been calling out Miller's gulag numbers for several weeks; it got them both disinvited from the White House picnic. And now Ron Johnson is joining in?

Bukele and Trump are complicit in an illegal scheme to use US taxpayer dollars to ship people to El Salvador in violation of their constitutional rights. Today we introduced sanctions against the Bukele regime to fight this cash-for-collusion deal & assault on our Constitution:

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Remember, we had a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear issue, thanks to the JCPOA that Obama put in place after years of hard work, but then President Spiteful Shithead withdrew the U.S. from the pact in 2018 and everything fell apart. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

"To Mr. Cuomo, I've never had to resign in disgrace. I've never cut Medicaid. I have never stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from the MTA. I have never hounded the thirteen women who credibly accused me of sexual harassment. I have never sued for their gynecological records." - Zohran just now.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone. If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

Israel attacks Iran, raising the potential for an all-out war. Trump tore up the nuclear agreement with Iran that might have averted this. And he empowered corrupt Israeli leader Netanyahu.

Padilla as he's being dragged away: "I am Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary." Noem later: "This man ... did not identify himself." They lie even when there's proof of the truth. They lie because their cult has been brainwashed to believe them.

Yes. According to Army protocol, congressional staff are VIP Code 5, with a rank equivalent to a two-star general/admiral. Members of Congress are of course significantly higher. I have never seen USCP, FPS, or any other federal LEO treat any Member with anywhere near this disrespect and violence.

Just found this cover of "Biko" by Paul Simon, who pretty much never covers his contemporaries. Also a reminder that we shouldn't just look at 1930s/40s Germany for parallels, but 70s/80s South Africa. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXnb...

Move to hold the agents who assaulted a sitting senator in contempt of Congress. Call for articles of impeachment against Noem. Stop working on crypto legislation. Demonstrate the stakes of what is happening in LA with your actions.

Trump just admitted that his mass deportations are bad for farmers and the economy, and crucially, also admitted that workers who are getting deported are "almost impossible to replace." That's a massive repudiation of MAGA ideology:

What happened here is an example of the Trump administration “de-documenting” people. His workers all had work permits; it seems they were Nicaraguans who entered through CHNV parole. But the Trump admin stripped them of their status then rounded them up, making even his supporter mad.

Yet another one. Again: conservatism is the political wing of paedophilia. Jokes aside, there is a reason for this correlation. Right-wing political beliefs and paedophilia are both rooted in immaturity, narcissism, sadism, and the lust for domination to compensate for weakness and cowardice.
