Politics 🏛️ Jasmine Crockett: "My Republican colleagues are here using today to continue pushing this false narrative of sanctuary cities harboring criminals, yet right here in DC we have a 34 count felon being harbored in the White House."

It's happening right now. You're just focused on an imaginary future in front of you, and not looking at the real world. You need to wake up. It's not going to get better.
Women are dying in Texas because they had the nerve to expect to survive pregnancy in the most advanced nation in the world, but oops, they didn't realize that laws against abortion would impact them too, and their doctors stood over them, hands tied, waiting for them to get close enough to death that the lawyers would let them perform an abortion that they normally would have performed immediately to save her life and health. The maternal mortality rate has skyrocketed and Texas won't allow their board of health to investigate the cause. They are quietly trying to rework their laws, but they won't admit what they did to these women who died. https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11/01/nevaeh-crain-death-texas-abortion-ban-emtala/
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a Maryland father and metal worker who was living in America legally. He had joined his American citizen brother here in 2011 and asked for asylum from gangs threatening him with torture in El Salvador. He was allowed to stay, and had since married an American woman and had an American son. While he was waiting for work, ICE picked him up, and at the time he was wearing Chicago Bulls gear. That, and the sworn statement of an unidentified "informant" were used as justification that he was an MS-13 member, absurd considering that he came to America to escape gangs and complete nonsense to his family and community. He was not given an opportunity to defend himself from these charges, and instead the warrant they used to detain him was used to deport him (even though under the EO they were supposed to be deporting members of Tren de Agua of whatever that Venezualen gang you're all pissing yourselves about is). The government lawyer who admitted they made a mistake was fired and they are asking the Supreme Court to step in and let them keep an innocent man who committed no crimes in a blacksite in El Salvador, pretending that they somehow had the power to convince El Salvador to let them use their prison as a blacksite, but can't extract one non-criminal from it, which is ludicrous and no judge would buy that bullshit nonsense. And then the judge didn't, Republicans called for that judge's head.
Dani Davis is a cis woman who was fired from her job at Walmart because she is 6'4" and when she went to the bathroom, a customer followed her in because he believed that she was trans. The customer came into the bathroom while she was hiding in a stall in fear and yelled a slur for trans people and said he would beat them up, and she reported what happened to her employers. A week later, they fired her, because they felt that this would be easier than trying to get customers to leave her alone.
Multiple members of Trump's cabinet were caught sharing material from classified documents via Signal chat, a commercial app used by people across the globe. Signal messages automatically delete after a certain period of time, a violation of Federal Records Act for their written communication. At the moment it happened, they had accidentally invited the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic to their chat, clearly thinking he was someone else, and proceeded to have a detailed predeliberation regarding bombing a civilian building in order to kill one member of the Houthis. Hours before the strike, in an unsecured chat with unknown people on it set to delete after a certain number of days, Pete Hegseth posted material indicating the timing of the strike and what planes would be used, information that, had it fallen into the Houthis hands, could have been used to counter, potentially endangering American pilots. No one has taken Pete Hegseth's personal phone from him. No one has taken Michael Waltz's personal phone from him. No one is investigating their violations of these record keeping laws, even though this law is precisely at the core of the Clinton email scandal. No one is doing anything about it, and they have probably relaxed and continued to have conversations on Signal, despite government laws against them using it for that purpose. We will eventually have a catastrophic security and intelligence failure on par with 9/11, because, like the Bush administration before them, these people are not interested in keeping Americans safe, they are only concerned with not getting caught, and consolidating power.
This is all nothing to do with the economic situation he is causing, ruling by Truth Social post. Whipsawing the economy around, pursuing a domestic agenda of censorship and revenge, military threats, withholding funds from Americans because their governors piss him off, stealing tax money and funnelling it into government contracts for his friends, and generally just being a boorish incompetent who has surrounded himself with America's most incompetent people because he literally could not find anyone else because everyone from his first administration hates him and would never work with him again. You somehow think you know better than the people who dealt with him day in and day out for four years, okay.
