A woman from the FDA’s Center for Devices & Radiological Health explains how her entire department was gutted

That means there’s no staff to alert you if your pacemaker is recalled

If an implantable device in your body is toxic or broken

This could have catastrophic health impacts & cost lives

It’s time to send a loud message to the entire world. It’s time to make history. It’s time to be the flood. I heard fascists can’t swim.

Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ BREAKING: Per four senior DHS & Trump admin sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the country is underway, with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed & reassigned in an effort to increase deportation numbers. I'm told the move is spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. I'm told some of the ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE Field Office Directors in: - Los Angeles - Phoenix - Philadelphia - Denver - El Paso - San Diego - Seattle/Portland - New Orleans Border Patrol officials taking over ICE leadership positions would be extremely significant, as Border Patrol and ICE do different things, and I've done numerous ride-alongs/embeds with both.

Generally speaking, ICE typically conducts very targeted operations, largely going after criminal illegal aliens or those with deportation orders, but almost always knowing who they are targeting for arrest, often conducting surveillance to learn their schedules before and waiting hours before arresting them if needed. Border Patrol, under Trump 2.0, while sometimes doing their own targeted operations, has been extremely aggressive and has been at the forefront of some of the most controversial immigration enforcement operations we've seen so far, carrying out roving patrols in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc, often at Home Depot, car washes, flea markets etc, leading to a handful of federal judges around the country issuing injunctions against them. A majority of the viral videos you see online are Border Patrol agents, including the use of a Trojan horse style Penske moving truck at a Los Angeles Home Depot, an operation organized by Bovino. ICE often gets blamed for what Border Patrol does, as the media and activists often cannot tell the difference between federal agents, and everyone is called "ICE". I'm told there are growing concerns about the political and PR fallout associated with some of the roving patrols Border Patrol is conducting as lawsuits continue to stack up and mid-terms approach next year.

I'm told there is significant friction within different wings of DHS and the administration, with Border Czar Tom Homan & ICE Director Todd Lyons preferring to prioritize targeting criminal aliens & the "worst of the worst" or those with deportation orders, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and BP Commander Bovino prefer to use aggressive tactics to arrest anyone in the US illegally, including but not limited to criminals, to ramp up deportation numbers and achieve President Trump's promises of mass deportations. I am hearing from both sides of this friction. One senior DHS official tells me: "ICE started with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol started in LA in June, we've (DHS) lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization. It's getting numbers, but at what cost?". Border Patrol agents I've talked to defend their tactics, with one telling me: "What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst? Tom Homan has said it himself, anyone in the US illegally is on the table."

It's quite a situation, as both sides of this are on the same team, with the same end goals, but different perspectives on how to get there. Another DHS official confirmed the personnel changes to me on deep background, adding that the moves are based on performance and doing what is needed to achieve the best results. Official statement to @FoxNews via @TriciaOhio : "While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump Administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country." 7:57 PM · Oct 27, 2025 · 29.6K Views

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Trump Sued After Destroying White House for His Tacky Ballroom Donald Trump was hit with a brutal lawsuit after demolishing the East Wing of the White House.

There’s only been one lawsuit filed against the devastating destruction of the White House.

One.

And it’s by Virginia couple, Charles and Judith Voorhees.

Not Congress, not historical (or any) institutions, but a citizen couple.

We continue to be the resistance.

Donald Trump’s America where simply having brown skin means you’re going to be terrorized by ICE thugs, with NO warrant, while running daily errands.

Reminder:
IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!

Trump and his vile ilk have got to go.

Fuck those fucking pigs! They could've killed him compressing his lungs like that!

Congress may as well not exist at this point under this Spineless Speaker.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/u...

Speaker Johnson should be removed for violating the Constitutional rights of AZ-2, and by extension the rights of all Americans by keeping the House adjourned. The People have business to attend to! Administrate the oath and let all go on record on releasing the Epstein files!

The ex-prosecutor also said this:

“I have a lot of close contacts in law enforcement, and almost to a person, none of them support these actions. As a lawyer, someone who adamantly believes in the rule of law, watching it in open sight in front of my house just be completely eroded…it’s upsetting.”

It’s pretty fucking hard to make sense of us giving $40 billion to Argentina’s federal government when our federal workers are standing in fucking breadlines here at home.

MAGA can tell me to “cry harder” all day long, but they know damn well they didn’t vote for ballrooms and breadlines.

They know.

They’re just too damn stubborn, stupid and scared to admit it.

I approve 👇👇👇
Meanwhile, voting has already started in a lot of places. Bring a friend. Help save #USDemocracy.

The White House's new McDonald's™ Epstein™ Ballroom™ appears to have been designed on free software.

lol.

More from the scene

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.
