Republicans' credo: Republicans are always the victims Can't acknowledge ICE/CBP are racist, sexist, bigoted, violent, acting way outside their bounds, & are led by MAGATS who are unqualified for their roles yet Republicans like Ron here confirmed Yet it's the MN AG who's at fault 🤔 Republicans🤷

My take on Trump ordering the removal of the Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument in NYC is that he's a pedophile and rapist who is actively covering up his role in a massive sex trafficking operation that targeted children and doing everything he can to distract from that cover-up.

Weird. I tried to warn libertarians about Trump

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse. Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch." Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

Part 2 of the exchange.

If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.

Conway: If you want your lives to be better and you want this country to persevere for your kids, we need to impeach and remove this fascist fucker now, as soon as possible. And I know that language is tough, but that’s where we are.
