The man is, whatever his other faults, just way in over his head. Maybe Democrats should say that more often. The fact that he’s costing taxpayers a billion dollars a day on a war most of them didn’t want may be a good place to start. trib.al/oQGYMWP
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.
But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority.

"Starbucks baristas in Ann Arbor, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and St. Louis have held marches on the boss or other workplace actions demanding that ICE be barred from their worksites in the absence of a signed judicial warrant."

We joined a coalition demanding ICE release journalist Estefany Rodriguez, saying it's "part of a broader erosion of democratic norms and human rights... in which immigration authorities are increasingly being used to chill free expression and 1st Amendment rights." www.freepress.net/download/pre...
Estefany Rodríguez of Nashville Noticias was arrested March 4 by ICE in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Spanish-language reporter is still being held and has filed a federal suit alleging the arrest violated her constitutional rights and was in retaliation for her reporting.
For Donald Trump. For Israel. For Genocide. For oil. For distraction. For billionaire child molesters. For the other billionaires. For the midterms. For the Republicans. For the Supreme Court majority. For ICE. For Pete Hegseth. But not for America. Not for me. Not for you.
"ICE has bought at least seven facilities so far, some of which are projected to hold thousands of people. One warehouse in an Arizona town is the size of seven football fields. The new facilities are slated to be up and running by November."
WATCH: “Are you concerned this sets a precedent for the media? Estefany is clearly not a criminal.”
Cowardly @GovBillLee says he “doesn’t know the details” 🤥 about ICE grabbing reporter Estefany Rodriguez — as he pathetically tries to blame Biden 🤔
(From @nashvillebanner.bsky.social )
🐔 @SenatorHagerty also silent on ICE grabbing Nashville Noticias reporter Estefany Rodriguez 🤔
