60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

Trump’s DOJ has charged James Comey AGAIN, this time under the Espionage Act over a 2016 New York Times story. In DOJ’s own words, Comey had staff talk to a reporter to “correct misinformation” in a Reuters article.

Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

White House Officials: Sir, we're getting crushed. The polls are grim. The early voting data is even worse. What can we do to win over the American people in this final week? Trump: Charge Comey again!

NEW: I'm in the Comey docket now. Comey petitioned the court to unseal this case, which Judge McFadden granted today. That's why we're getting this news now 1/

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Thune had almost 2 years to save his Senate majority. The GOP controlled both houses. They could have stopped tariffs, ended the Iran War, stopped ICE’s illegal searches and lowered taxes for all. They chose not to. Now look where we are. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/ATYB14lORTxC...

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

ms.nowHouse Judiciary Democrats release 50-page report on Trump’s alleged involvement in Epstein filesThe report — issued just eight days before the election — makes multiple, uncorroborated allegations against the president while also detailing discrepancies in his statements about Epstein.
