There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Trump leaves the g7 summit early... if it were Biden, the media would say he was tired and needs to rest because he's old... Trump is declining and he's a danger to this country's safety.

This is straight up #propaganda from the Department of Defense #DOD from Trump’s #military parade. Pretty desperate and pathetic. Oh, and unprofessional for any PAO at DOD to put something out like this. It actually serves to erode trust in the Department to lie to the American people like this.

Trump's Sunday night screed about Democrats who are "sick of mind" and "hate our country" is the exact sort of rhetoric that radicalizes people like Boelter to commit acts of violence. But instead of responding to the Hortman assassination by turning down the heat, Trump keeps ramping it up.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?
