Trump calls Somali Americans "garbage" and said today about Ilhan Omar: “She comes from a country that is a non-country." If he'd been alive in 1915, he would've said that about Italians. If it was 1850, he would've said it about the Irish. He traffics in ethnic hate. We have to stop him.
Trump posted about the Democrat leading his candidate in Texas: "Where is he? What is wrong with him?" Saturday night that Democrat was standing in a 21,000-seat Dallas arena next to a Grammy winner. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-does...

Trump hates me personally. Now he’s taking it to the Supreme Court
When I tell people that Donald Trump hates me, they often assume I mean it in a generic sense — that he hates Democrats and people who fight him in court. No, I correct them: he hates me personally.

Executing a search warrant while early voting is underway in Minnesota, on an old, moldy "crime" is all you need to know about the motivation here. Absolutely no reason not to wait until the second week of November. It's abundantly clear that this is about politics, not a legitimate prosecution.
The Washington Sun@washingtonsun.com · yesterdayThe congresswoman said she “will not be silenced.” https://www.washingtonsun.com/congress/democrats-ilhan-omar-home-search-criminal-investigation
If you are shocked this am that Trump’s government executed a search warrant against a Democratic Member of Congress and ignored a judge’s order then you haven’t been paying attention. Stop saying this isn’t how it works in the US. It is exactly how it works under Trump.
