Hey folks, what’s an extra $0.40/gallon for gas when we’re helping Netanyahu stay out of jail and protecting Trump and his pedophile friends from being exposed? It seems like a small sacrifice to make for people who wouldn’t know when you die, let alone attend your funeral.

NOEM: I hope Miguel Lopez got the $2,600

SWALWELL: Do you think that makes up for not being with his family? It was a nonviolent crime

NOEM: Now that he's been deported he will never get the chance to come back

S: The president is also a convicted felon if you want to talk about criminal records

KLOBUCHAR: Alex Pretti's parents said what you said was one of the most hurtful things they could imagine. Do you want to say anything to Alex's parents?

NOEM: I did not call him a 'domestic terrorist.' I said it 'appeared to be an incident of'

KLOBUCHAR: I think the parents saw it for what it was

Opinion | One Man Stole $660 Million. He’ll Never Pay It Back.

β€œIlliberal governments tend to live or die by their ability to sustain corruption. They rely for support on a network of oligarchs, who in turn are tied to the administration’s success. It happened in Hungary, Turkey, Russia and increasingly, it is happening here.”

MINNESOTA β€” Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.

Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

There is no room for reform So we must end ICE

Enough. β€œReforming” ICE would be like putting a Band-Aid on a sucking chest wound. Abolish ICE. open.substack.com/pub/susancam...

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Exclusive: US gets first $500 million Venezuelan oil deal, holding some proceeds in Qatar The details shared with Semafor mark an initial milestone in the administration’s plan following the ouster of NicolΓ‘s Maduro.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

β€œThere is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?

Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

If NicolΓ‘s Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now?

Just checking what the standards are these days.
