JD Vance is right. More people need to know that the president is trying to take $10 billion in taxpayer money for himself.
JD Vance: "People don’t have any idea how bad the corruption is in Washington DC"

Let me get this straight. The leading Senate Republican walked into the White House Sunday with a bipartisan deal to end the TSA nightmare. Fund everything except ICE now, get TSA agents paid today, handle ICE separately. Senate Republicans and Democrats said yes. Trump said no. Why? Because Trump is holding TSA workers’ paychecks hostage to try and force Congress to pass the SAVE Act, a voter suppression bill that would knock millions of eligible Americans off the voter rolls. He wants to make it harder for Americans to vote. Like a petulant child flipping the board when he’s losing, Trump torched a bipartisan deal his own Senate leader handed him on a silver platter. His tantrum continues as he unleashes ICE agents into airports. Agents with zero screening training, zero TSA authority, and a good chance of making everything worse. Democrats have been ready to fund TSA from day one. What we refuse to do is write a blank check for an ICE agency that gunned down two American citizens in Minneapolis and still demands the ability to kick down doors without a judge’s approval while hiding behind masks. We will not pass the SAVE Act either. Call it what it is: the SAVE REPUBLICANS Act. Non-citizen voting is already illegal. It was illegal yesterday. It will be illegal tomorrow. This bill solves nothing except the Republican party’s losing electoral math. Fund TSA. Reform ICE. End this today. Trump is the one standing in the way.

The NRA and other gun rights groups would be raising alarms and money off of this statement if said by any president not named Trump. What we’re learning is that these folks only care about Constitutional rights when it’s politically convenient
Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come.  This is one of them.

I don’t think you can say he was “resisting arrest” bc there is no effort to actually arrest him or say “you are under arrest.” The agent shoved a woman to the ground, he helped her out and was sprayed, thrown to the ground and beaten. The natural human response is to try to cover your face and protect your body as you’re being assaulted. Interpreting that body movement as “resisting arrest” is too much of a leap. The agents escalated the situation repeatedly and then used their own escalation as reason to kill him.
He clearly was not intending to massacre ICE and he clearly was resisting arrest

The Left has hardly lost its mind (on this issue). The feds chose to make Minnesota Ground Zero on ICE deployment — even though it’s not close to being the site of the most illegal immigrants (or the most dangerous). To the extent protests have arisen it is solely due to a poorly articulated enforcement policy and shockingly poor training of those enforcement agents. Worse, the administration’s decision to not even consider a transparent investigation of the Good shooting did two things: 1) told ICE agents that there were no consequences for any poor judgment that may have contributed to Good’s death; 2) told Minneapolis residents that they had to step up their own vigilance and surveillance of ICE actions just for their own protection and ability to hold the feds accountable — as today’s tragedy demonstrated.
The problem: 1. The Left has lost their minds, and opposition to immigration enforcement has gone off the rails. 2. ICE/Trump admin has lost control, and they don't seem to understand how much this is going to hurt them practically and politically. Both can be true.

The courage gap is striking: a poet and a nurse lost their lives protesting ICE brutality, while those with power & money, from Silicon Valley to Washington, stay silent or contort the narrative.

There is far more outrage from tech leaders over a wealth tax than masked ICE agents terrorizing communities and executing civilians in the streets. Tells you what you need to know about the values of our industry.

Imagine going back 15 years and telling Republicans this: One day, you will cheer federal agents for killing people who were carrying firearms while exercising their Second Amendment rights.

After every new ICE outrage in MN Jacob Frey gets up and implores people to remain peaceful, while DHS starts instantly tear-gassing protesters and slandering the person they just killed as a terrorist or a cop-killer. But sure, Frey's the one keeping temperatures high.

From every angle ICE murdered that man. Americans need justice on this.

Donald Trump is intentionally withholding billions that could feed 5.5 million Californians next month who rely on SNAP.     While he jets overseas to beg for meetings with dictators, parents here are wondering how to afford groceries.     This shutdown is his choice, and so is this needless cruelty.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Changing the name of the bill doesn't change the fact that millions of Americans will lose their ability to see a doctor.
Members coming out of the meeting are now referring to it as the “working families tax plan.”

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn
