    Hi, I’m God.

    At a bare minimum, you should all be able to agree that pedophilia, secret police and nonstop shootings are bad. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!

    Dems need to remind people that they aren’t talking to the average person, their comments are directed to the top 1%. Trump telling someone from his golf cart that his taxes are coming down is talking to a rich club member.

    NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

    • NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
    • NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
    • ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

    As a Black Hawk helicopter roared overhead, the slender, 28-year-old immigrant from Venezuela answered softly, his eyes darting to a television crew invited to film the raid. Next to Caicedo, masked Border Patrol agents inspected another man’s tattoos and asked him if he belonged to Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has designated a terrorist group. Until that moment, Caicedo’s only interaction with law enforcement in his two-and-a-half years in the United States had been a traffic stop two weeks earlier for driving without a license or insurance, according to the records we reviewed. Chicago police had run a background check on him and found no prior arrests, no warrants and no evidence that he was in a gang. Caicedo said he had a pending asylum application, a steady job at a taco joint and a girlfriend whose daughter attended elementary school across the street. None of that mattered. The U.S. government paraded him and his neighbors in front of the cameras and called their arrests a spectacular victory against terrorism. But later, after the cameras had gone, prosecutors didn’t charge Caicedo with a crime. They didn’t accuse him of being a terrorist. And after a brief hearing in immigration court, the government sent him back to the country he had fled nine years earlier. “I lost everything,” he said in a phone interview from his mother’s home in the Venezuelan city of Valencia. “For those fools, everyone from Venezuela is a criminal.”

    You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

    We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.
