The Public Fires Kristi Noem That's not the story you'll hear from Washington

Senior ICE official says he thinks Kristi Noem was fired because of the Minneapolis protests, a sentiment I heard from other DHS officials

Chlorine Dioxide, Raw Camel Milk: The FDA No Longer Warns Against These and Other Ineffective Autism Treatments The FDA has taken down a webpage warning about therapies and products making β€œfalse claims” of treating autism. It’s part of a series of actions the agency has taken under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy ...

The FDA webpage had a stark warning: Some purported autism β€œcures” or treatments, including chlorine dioxide and raw camel milk, are dangerous and make misleading claims.

Now, under RFK Jr.’s leadership, that advisory is gone.

Yeah it's somehow still underrated but Biden (and Harris by extension because she was operating under the thesis of no daylight) essentially did everything possible to avoid clamping down on Israel against the trendline of their own party's base and the response from the pro-Israel lobby was scorn.

The IDF account announced the new bombing campaign with a video of fighter jets set to the tune of β€œFortunate Son” by Creedence Clearwater Revival from 1969.

The song was an anti-war anthem in the United States during the Vietnam War.

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Kristi Noem’s firing is long overdue. She oversaw vile crimes against humanity and we’ll never forget it.

But until ICE is abolished and expelled from our communities, we keep fighting.

Lawless federal agents kidnapping and killing people on our streets can never be normalized.

It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by β€œIranian state media”

We saw an uptick in ICE activity today.

ICE continues to be spotted around the metro area - dining, driving, and hiding in between events.

Current vehicles on the short list include Black Chevrolet Tahoes, White or Silver Jeep Wagoneers, and White Ford Transit vans with fake branding.

A tweet from Eleanor Klibanoff saying, "The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily BLOCKED a Dallas judge’s order to keep the polls open til 9, ordering the county to separate out votes from people who were not in line at 7pm. 

Not a final ruling, but will create chaos in getting results from Dallas County"

Wow. If any races in Dallas County are super tight, this will be a huge legal fight as thousands of votes hang in purgatory.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

Jasmine Crockett: "We're about to file a lawsuit to keep the voting polls open. People have been disenfranchised. The polls were supposed to stay open until 9. The Texas Supreme Court said a few minutes ago, shut it down, and don't count votes that came in after 7 PM."
