Today there was a planned federal operation in lower Manhattan. 

We’re closely monitoring the situation, and we will keep working with our partners in government to ensure that New Yorkers know their rights, including those arrested today.

@meidastouch.com should come up w/ a kind of "Freedom of the Press" award show for those named, highlighting those w/ quantity/quality of mentions.

Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.

Somehow, I still can’t forget about the Epstein files. So how about leaking them out now?

Pete Hegseth is a straight-up serial killer

No asterisk, no caveat, he simply orchestrated—multiple times on multiple dates—a criminal conspiracy to murder unarmed persons who the U.S. military code deemed incapacitated and not a threat and then went online and admitted to doing it knowingly

...And, we should give out awards to reporters by the quantity & quality of their mentions on their page.

Maybe @meidastouch.com can whip up something more organized & official?

The White House just launched a “Hall of Shame” webpage to name and shame reporters whose coverage Trump doesn’t like. What an anti–First Amendment stunt. Honestly? Everyone should try to get on it and wear it like a badge of honor.

When Pete Hegseth is charged with War Crimes just remember what JD Vance told me.

Global Black Friday Strikes Against Amazon Target 'Techno-Authoritarian' Assault on Workers | Common Dreams "We are joining Make Amazon Pay to demand the most basic rights: safety, dignity, and the chance to go home alive," said one Amazon worker from India.

Amazon workers go on strike world-wide. “From Germany to Bangladesh, thousands of workers walked off the job on Friday and marched against Amazon’s labor practices to push for better wages, working conditions, and union protections." www.commondreams.org/news/make-am...

When ICE Tried to Deploy 600 Goons, New Yorkers said absolutely NOT ✊

Cruelty by design. This administration wants chaos. They want us demoralized and defeated. They want us tired and exhausted. They want us afraid as they do, what I believe is, calculated targeting. “What situation will cause the most outrage?” But they also want us angry enough to use as an excuse…

Screenshot of headline reading: Congressional committees to scrutinize U.S. killing of boat strike survivors. In a rare split with the Trump administration, GOP-led panels in the House and Senate say they want a full accounting in the September military attack.

Pete Hegseth is a war criminal and should be fired immediately.

YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS!!!!! 😍

She f*cken warned us.

Damn you who didn’t listen.

Tiffany Cross on the Trump ballroom: It sounds like he's building a structure that he does not plan on leaving.

So, while people are struggling to afford the basics & are about to lose access to healthcare, this man's focused on an ungodly ballroom?

I BLAME THE DO-NOTHING GOP!

Protecting the "integrity of the presidency" is a real reach.

Dude's made 40% of his current wealth through the presidency.

He's also used his presidency to cover-up his involvement in the Epstein Files, even bringing Boebert into the situation room to convince her to vote against their release.

Trump’s golf trips have cost taxpayers $71m since January and could eventually top staggering $300m, report says President spent $151.5m in taxpayer-funded golf travel and security in his first presidential term

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.
