Trump makes over the Rose Garden, Mar-a-Lago style Trump has swapped out the grass in the Rose Garden with stone, turning what had been a lawn into a patio that bears a striking resemblance to one at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla.

"Music blasted from the White House as Trump tested out a new speaker system for the patio [which used to be the Rose Garden]. Trump can play DJ from his iPad, just like he does at Mar-a-Lago..."

Un poco triste que lo único que tenga la “oposición” para tratar de esconder el inmenso resultado de AMLO respecto a la reducción de la pobreza en México es inventarse que su esposa se iba a Madrid. No dan pena porque ya están grandecitos para andar montando esas payasadas.

Ogni anno mi vedo una buona quantità di opere. Non mi era mai successo sentire tanti fischi come in questa prima di Don Giovanni. Un napoletano ci ha detto “il direttore non si merita pomodori ma molto peggio”. Le voci erano bellissime ma è senza dubbio la più brutta messa in scena della mia vita.

Kind of seems like a problem when US citizens are getting disappeared off the street?

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

ICE was created post 9/11 to combat terrorist threats. If they aren't combatting the number one terror threat to America - Domestic Violent Extremism and white supremacists - then they don't need to exist as an agency.

BREAKING: A fourth court has found that President Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act was illegal, seeking to stretch the meaning of "invasion" beyond its plain meaning.

I'm grateful that if I post that Stephen Miller is a hateful dickbag on social media, no one can fire me from MSW Media because I own it. I might not be your cup of tea, but thanks to all who support independent media 💙🙏

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

How extreme is the June 7 Memorandum on federalizing the National Guard?

One of several issues: It has NO geographic limit. None. No mention of California or any other state. It's open-ended.

Now this from President Trump: "Well, we're going to have troops everywhere."⬇️

Remember: this is only happening because of Trump. He is the arsonist. He is to blame.

A protester picks up a tear gas canister and throws it back at police. The rest of protesters attempt to fan the gas back at police

He shouldn’t have taken the post down. He’s a reporter. And he was reporting facts.

Bernie, you rascal! You’re spot on here.

“They’re releasing some kind of gas, so the attorneys can’t breathe”

Joe Biden was old and not fully competent and his staff covered it up. Big scandal.

Donald Trump was accused by his top donor and former top ‘Special Government Employee’ of being a pedophile. So are his staff covering that up?

Isn’t that, y’know, a bigger scandal?

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.”

Simone Biles comes for Riley Gaines

*narrator* he did in fact come back.

How much are they paying ICE agents for each person they deport? I know they’re evil and would do it anyway, but I’m just saying, I watched some videos and got a feeling about the way they try to SNATCH as many people as possible…it feels like a bounty system is in place.
