A year into Trump's term, voters say Biden was better share.google/FNslN5uuN4Cv...
The world would be a better place if Joe Biden were President of the U.S. A decent, honest, humble, wise person.
Most Americans agree. Before Iran, a "survey found that 46% of US adults say Trump is doing a worse job than Biden, compared with 40% who say he's doing better."
Sending immigrants to Guantanamo. Perp walking and shaming brown people.

*citizens shot at in many states
“For over 20 years we’ve fought for Dreamers.” - Sen. @durbin.senate.gov
Dreamers grew up here. Going to our schools, pledging allegiance, building their futures in our country.
But now, as DACA recipients face detention & deportation, the urgency for permanent protections has never been clearer.
Lawmakers questioned a $200 million DHS advertising campaign that featured her prominently. Trump later told Reuters he had not approved the ad campaign, contradicting Noem’s testimony

Agreeing to send people to CECOT despite court orders, visiting, and taking dehumanizing photos with MS13 members, not recent deportees from Venezuela. See Julio Zambrano or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, plus hundreds of others.
Detentions of citizens who were racially profiled, protesters, and immigrants, often with excessive force and without following due process.
Shootings and killings of immigrants and killings in many states.
The killing of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez in September 2025 in a Chicago suburb.

They tried to have Bovino take the blame for the violent tactics. It was not enough.
Tried to have DHS spokewoman Tricia McLaughlin take blame for calling Pretti and Good domestic terrorists. Her firing was not enough.
Firing Noem is a way to protect Miller.
The killings of Rene Good and Alex Pretti in January 2026 in Minneapolis and all of Operation Metro Surge.
Noem out at the end of the month.
SO many reasons.

We identified 12 shootings by federal agents that led to the deaths or injuries of citizens & immigrants since Sept.
Nearly every time, the Trump admin blamed the injured and dead. Experts say this apparent lack of accountability demands that local authorities step up to investigate federal agents.
Trump's State of the Union speech 1 week ago: A circus with special guests, but it was lacking substance. Accusations flew, dividing communities. Can this polarizing style win over hearts or just energize his shrinking base? #StateOfTheUnion #Politics #Speech #IlhanOmar

We interviewed @brian-goldstone.bsky.social on The Intercept Briefing last year about "There Is No Place For Us."
“It’s an engineered abandonment of not thousands, not hundreds of thousands, but millions of families.”
With his policy actions (tariffs, ICE) and foreign interventions, it is like if Trump doesn't care about his voting base or winning elections. He is losing his Latino vote, part of the American First vote, and the "no foreign war" vote. This will show in the primaries tomorrow. #Iran #Unpopular
So he's saying that he knew Israel was going to attack Iran and he believed Iran would retaliate by attacking US bases, so we had to strike first since Israel was going to get US forces attacked.
La mayoría de sus miembros han declarado públicamente haber votado por los republicanos durante muchos años. Muchos líderes locales de ICE y de la Patrulla Fronteriza hablaban abiertamente a los medios en contra de directivas que salían de la Casa Blanca y del DHS de los presidentes Obama y Biden.
Its budget is larger than that of many armies in the world. The agencies in charge of sealing the border and deporting people without immigration status have more resources than the CIA, FBI and DEA. 2) In several recent presidential elections, the Border Patrol workers union has endorsed Trump.
La migra y otros agentes federales se han convertido en fuerzas paramilitares en ambos sentidos de la palabra: 1) Están usando uniformes, armas, comunicaciones como los que usan las fuerzas militares. Patrullan las calles como si estuvieran en territorio enemigo
