BREAKING: Over 100 priests arrested in Minneapolis for protesting ICE in Minnesota where today it's -21 degrees outside MSP Airport.

The clergy gathered in prayerful solidarity to demand airlines — especially @Delta
and Signature Aviation — cease contracting deportation flights to DHS.

So far, over 2,000 deportations have gone through MSP, per organizers.

WASHINGTON (TNND) — The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) informed staff on Thursday that disaster worker terminations would be halted due to the massive impending winter storm set to impact at least 160 million Americans.

FEMA said in the email obtained by CNN that it would "cease offboarding" for disaster workers whose employment contracts are set to expire in the coming days. It was not specified how long the pauses would last.

Sources reported that around 300 disaster workers were let go at the start of the new year, with only a handful receiving extensions.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, whose department oversees FEMA, visited the agency's headquarters ahead of the storm to receive a briefing on preparations.

It shouldn't take the threat of a winter storm for this admin to take disaster preparedness seriously.

I led a demand to end workforce cuts at FEMA with Sen. Peters and will continue to advocate for a FEMA that is prepared to help our communities when disaster strikes.

I honestly think their are a look of good Democrats speaking out against Trump but the media just does not broadcast the comments over the air.



Congressman Jared Huffman, "If we're real and honest about what's going on, we have a madman in the White House"

"Trump is running the biggest most corrupt criminal grift in criminal history, out of the White House"

"We take an oath to the Constitution, but it seems all of you took an oath to Donald Trump"

"This is shameful, a disgrace"

"To pretend everything is just fine right now?"

"The madman is in Europe driving our friends into the arms of our adversaries"

"Trump is doing immeasurable damage to our credibility o the world stage and you are just fine with it?"

"What the hell is wrong?"

"I'm not going to just sit here and pretend everything is fine"

"This is wrong. This is not normal. And I'm not going to normalise it"

Trump jokes and mocks about Freezing weather that could kill people without heat..........

Trump really has no soul. And when will enough Actually BE enough??
Seriously--check on your neighbors --if you can in this Freezing weather if electricity goes out.
But care for yourself also. This weather is truly dangerous--here is mid WI, it is 25 degrees Below Zero with a windchill close to 50 below
Stay safe


Trump: "Record Cold Wave expected to hit 40 States. Rarely seen anything like it before. Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain — WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???"
