Kristi Noem is complaining that ICE and Border Patrol agents have it really tough in Chicago because the restaurants won't let them use their bathrooms or serve them food. But I thought Republicans loved free market capitalism? 😅 Don't mess with Chicago! ❤️✊🏽

Yet another incident that would’ve gotten any other president immediately impeached that is only the 127th worst thing Trump has done in 2025.

Johnson and Lauer are stalling. If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip. The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

ICE is sending people to a prison in Africa’s only absolute monarchy www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I hope they remembered to bring packed lunches. Shops and restaurants in many states are refusing to serve people in those particular gang colors…
