Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.” Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing? There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

We should never let ourselves get desensitized to this. It can’t be overstated how outrageously unpresidential and un-American it is for Donald Trump to speak to the US military like they’re his partisan personal army.

It's almost as if actual cost cutting and budgetary changes need to be done through the legislature. Novel thought, I know.

Absolute clown show. The original tariff deadline lasted 2 days. Governing on vibes and the whims of the last person Trump speaks to is not sustainable.

Willing to bet a very large amount that most of that 413% rise in “assaults” on ICE agents represent unarmed people attacking ICE fists with their faces and boots with their kidneys. Because these people are lying scum.

Congress literally created an Alien Terrorist Removal Court for the expeditious removal of aliens who are designated as terrorists, under a preponderance of evidence standard. I think problem isn’t the time it would take, but the fact that the government would have to produce actual evidence

Then this should be very easy to prove in a court of law and then they can send him back.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

The transformation of the GOP from “limited government conservatives” to “the president can do anything he wants and no Constitution, statute, Congress, court, state, or private institution can stop him” has been one heck of a ride.

Can we just call this what it is? Pure and unadulterated market manipulation that benefited those who had the money and inside information to take advantage of buying the after toddler's tantrum. They made billions. You know who got hosed in this situation? The guy who simply has a 401k

Stocks are soaring because it's always great when someone just stops hitting you with a hammer. But when they stop, the next step is to take the hammer out of their hands. Congress needs to take back its tariff authority. And we need to keep saying it until it happens, in this Congress or the next.

“Trump said he was going to crash the economy and he won the election. So he gets to do that and I have to support him since that’s how our country works. He gets to make the laws and enact taxes. Sorry, I’m just a member of Congress, I don’t know what you expect me to do.”

Maybe there's a silver lining here. This is a great object lesson in what Republicans used to understand: Central government economic planning does not work. The free market does. Maybe we can settle this once and for all.
