ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.
If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.
Let’s be clear: this does not warrant building a ballroom at the White House.
It seems rather hypocritical to say you want to end birthright citizenship when you’re basically allowing someone born in South Africa to be your co-president.
An American president being found liable for sexual assault is a national disgrace. It’s a stain on the country that will never wash out.
Don’t let them spin this Signal debacle as if it’s no big deal. It’s an epic national security failure and a massive story.
When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.
