Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

So is Grenell just going to cry on social media every day because artists want nothing to do with his twisted MAGA perversion of the Kennedy Center? This seems like a great opportunity to showcase MAGA creative and artistic talent. I’m sure they will draw big patriotic crowds.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

What an emblem of the billionaire class—descending on a peaceful city in a private jet on the horn to NYT asking for the place to be invaded by federal authorities because the rent-a-cops you employ for a week to harass a few junkies outside the convention center cost too much.

This is another 25th Amendment interview. Dangerous, batshit crazy, encouraging political violence and law breaking. Old man, in declining health, just shitting all over the country.....

Trump on DC: "We have actually more power in DC. I can change the mayor if I want. I can do whatever I want."

while albeit not always, "unidentified law enforcement demands to see your papers in the capitol" is generally not the beginning of a regime consolidation but rather the last desperate show-of-force attempt before the end

Tense scene out here. People booing and shaming unidentified federal law enforcement as they stand in the middle of the street, posted to pull people over for random checks.

Trump’s corrupt DOJ is going to put out a statement full of lies by sex trafficker Maxwell who is trying to get out of prison, while refusing to release the statements of the victims and witnesses which would prove she’s lying. DOJ is now siding with sex traffickers over victims.

Trump: It looks like it’s about $3.1 billion Powell: I’m not aware of that. Trump: It just came out Powell: You just added in a third building Trump: It’s a building that’s being built Powell: It was built five years ago.

Firing the prosecutor of the Jeffrey Epstein case in the middle of this disaster is an insane decision by Donald Trump. He's never going to beat the allegations that he's all over the Epstein files.

This is a new twist. We'll all be paying this huge sales tax but somehow we're actually going to be getting a lot of money? From whom?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

REPORTER: Why stick with the date of August 1? TRUMP: Payments start on August 1. So they have to start paying billions of dollars to you -- are you a citizen? REPORTER: Yes I am TRUMP: You'll be very happy because you're gonna get a lot of money

Alina Habba in Feb: “On Epstein, it’s incredibly disturbing. We have flight logs, info, names that will come out. There were so many names hidden who had not been held accountable. Now it’s time for accountability. I really believe with Kash and Pam there will be accountability.”

You can't make it up MAGA Congressman Derrick Van Orden-a huge supporter of the Big Ugly Bill Who published this repugnant post cheering the fact that the law would gut Medicaid and SNAP Is now BEGGING the Democratic governor of his state To save the very hospitals that he just voted to close

This is from an actual Republican Congressman, from the party that is also locking kids in cages in a concentration camp in Florida, hoping they try to escape and get eaten by alligators. This is today's Republican Party.

Markwayne Mullin: "There are 35 million people that live below the poverty line inside the US. There are over 70 million people signed up for Medicaid. Now you're gonna tell me there's not room to make cuts?"

Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Whoa! NYC mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Brad Lander seemingly arrested at the NYC immigration court while attending to escort someone attending their hearing.

Masked federal agents just illegally arrested New York City’s elected Comptroller. Outrageous. The Trump Administration went after Brad Lander for asking this simple question: “Do you have a warrant?” By asking this question, Brad was standing up for the basic rights of all Americans.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.

Tom Homan: We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight
