GOP Senator Kennedy admits Trump is the reason for TSA shutdown: "He said said 'No deals with the Democrats.' We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week. But the President said 'No deal.'"

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.

@NoahKahan So disappointed in your ticket prices, even the ones that were on sale straight from Ticketmaster.

[Meghan Taylor @MegTaylor4]

@Mr_Husky1 Wow this is so inspiring. Congratulations ❤️

This guy magnificently used sarcasm to explain the Republican and MAGA hypocrisy in regards to the Alex Pretti murder.

@DAntonBerry1 @DLineGURU @JPRockMO @KirkwoodFB @jmac___19 @CoachKing314 @CoachJackCurtis Congrats D’Anton!! I’m so proud of you!!

WORTH REPEATING:

Texas has 2.1M undocumented immigrants and Florida has 1.2M.

Minnesota has 130,000.

Don't let anyone tell you this is about immigration.

It never was.

Trump lost MN three times. That is what THIS is about, and it’s impeachable.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

[Theo Baker @tab_delete]

Reminder that this guy showed up to a protest and *actually shot* three people only to be celebrated by Donald Trump.

Okay so,

1) an American citizen exercises his First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and his Second Amendment right to bear arms, out of apparent concern that a tyrannical federal government is violating basic protections afforded under the Constitution

2) after coming to the aid of an unarmed woman who's been shoved to the ground by a masked federal agent, the citizen -- impaired by pepper spray, holding nothing but a cell phone -- is dragged to the ground by a group of other masked agents

3) during the scuffle, shortly after one masked agent removes the weapon from the restrained citizen's person, several other masked agents open fire, unloading 10 shots from close range and killing the unarmed citizen

4) despite video evidence, a spokesman for the federal government says the citizen approached agents with a gun, provoked a violent confrontation, and planned to "massacre" law enforcement

You really want to defend this? Go ahead. Just know, you look like an absolute fool.

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

Maher Tarabishi, age 62, was taken by ICE last October when he exited his immigration check-in appointment in Texas. He was the primary caregiver for his 30 year old son Wael, who suffers from a chronic muscular condition called Pompe disease. His father provided 24 hour care for many years.

Wael died today, his family told me. Wael’s heath had been declining ever since his father’s detention. He never got to say goodbye to his father. Maher will never see his son again.

Maher came to the United States in 1994. He is not a criminal. He paid taxes. He raised a family. He was attending his immigration check ins reliably. Now that family is destroyed. For what?

If our government has any compassion, Maher Tarabishi should be released from detention now. He should be allowed to attend his son’s funeral. May Wael rest in peace.

Is this what America has become? Is this what we want America to be? Spread the word: #FreeMaherTarabishi

🚨 CONFIRMED: ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minnesota and put her on a plane to Texas despite a judge’s order requiring her release, per the Star Tribune.

Read that again.

A court order said release the toddler… and ICE said no.

This is state-sanctioned kidnapping with a boarding pass.

Crockett: "You only love enforcement when they're going after Black, brown, immigrants, that kind of folk. But on January 6, you didn't care about law enforcement."

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

On video: Congress admits they’ve got $800 MILLION set aside for ICE bonuses up to $44,000.

Meanwhile, the “average American bonus” is $2,500… if you’re lucky enough to even get one.

So let me get this straight:
They can’t fund healthcare, housing, or disaster relief…

…but they can cut cash incentives for an agency that’s detaining people first and checking facts later.

That’s the priority.

Reporter: You said Maduro is responsible for drug trafficking. You recently pardoned the former president of Honduras convicted of drug trafficking.

Trump: He was the head of the country. He was persecuted very unfairly.

Irony died a thousand deaths.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Donald Trump just ended a rule that required airlines to compensate you for delayed or canceled flights.

Why?

Maybe because the airlines donated big bucks to Trump. Or maybe because the Secretary of Transportation used to be an airline lobbyist.

Either way, you lose.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.
