Will I be watching the misinformation-and-slander show tonight? That would be a resounding NOPE.

Exactly what I was thinking. He no longer has a dollar sign over his head, so they're not interested.

His projection is so transparent.

The state of the union is there is no union. Trump is the president of the red states of MAGA people, and everyone else is his enemy. He is not a president for all, nor even pretends to be. And the Republicans who remain silent and take no action while he continues to divide us are complicit.

Be aware of which political party wants the American people to vote and will protect our collective right to do so…and which political party wants to restrict that right so that they may remain in power indefinitely.

The difference could not be clearer than at the present moment.

Of course he makes no mention whether "forcing himself on someone" is legal or ethical or Constitutional. He's an Fn megalomaniac, worst of the worst.

πŸ”₯ WATCH: β€œI feel much safer with undocumented immigrants than I EVER will with ICE agents!!!”

Sheriff deputies descend on a WILSON COUNTY man as he spouts some hard truths in opposition to a rumored ICE detention center (which they have now backed off of)

Personally I'd like to see him kept around for study, in a psych ward, perhaps. He's a very sick man, and dangerous, obviously, maybe close to nature death according to some people.

Homan might want to read our story.

A few months ago, we counted at least 170 Americans detained.

They were *almost all Latino.*

Trumpy is likely doing the same thing.

Isn't this the same playbook Putin and his Russian sympathizers/aggitators inside Ukraine used prior to invading?

What kinds of leaders kill their own citizens, for any reason? There is no justification.

I choose to be on the side that cares about the innate value and worth of human beings, not the side that demonizes them from the moment of birth and demands absolute obedience, or else.

Howard Lutnick faces bipartisan calls to resign over latest Epstein revelations Recently disclosed records suggest a closer relationship than the Commerce secretary previously indicated.

Secretary Howard Lutnick lied to the country about his ties to Epstein.

Now we learned that they were in business together.

He has no business being our Commerce Secretary.

He should resign.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) β€” Alberto CastaΓ±eda MondragΓ³n says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.

But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.

He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.

He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man β€œpurposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

208. The Fifth Circuit Jumps the Immigration Detention Shark Late Friday, two of the nation's most right-wing circuit judges adopted an odious legal claim that district court judges from across the country (and ideological spectrum) have overwhelmingly rejected

β€œLate Friday night, the Fifth Circuit adopted the extreme minority viewβ€”that the government can indefinitely detain without bond millions of non-citizens who have been here for generations; who have never committed a crime; and who pose neither a risk of flight nor any threat to public safety.”

. . . This administration gives no time for people to adjust to change, on purpose probably, no matter how brutal or different -- like an electric shock attack, or perpetual shock-and-awe campaign.

What kind of a human thinks shooting a young mother like Renee Goode in the face, whose last words were conciliatory, is good LE? What kind of a belief system justifies shooting a man like Alex Pretti, all 147 pounds of him, multiple times in the back while laying motionless on the ground?

You can take in all the news from the last week and become justifiably angry at the degradation and death, or you can avoid reality and pretend average Americans are 'terrorists,' thinking it's okay to treat people and protestors like animals. As for law enforcement, they work for us . . .

How does identifying the problem amount to fearmongering if a solution isn't offered? Some problems are complex and big and take time, and not every solution is easily identifiable. I know when my car has a problem, but I'm not fearmongering anyone if I tell them I don't know how to fix it.
