BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schoolsβ€”told staff they had β€œparental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Sign: Not one dime for Elon Musk's companies

The only dangerous minority in the United States is billionaires. In 2024, women alone made up 85% of purchases in the United States. If money talks, we’ve got to use OURS to create consequences for the billionaire-in-chief. Take the pledge to boycott Elon Musk's companies. app.sosha.ai/s/RmRhSFws

The Trump regime is reportedly planning to gut a unit within the DOJ that prosecutes corruption by elected officials.

This comes after Trump's DOJ dropped bribery charges against Eric Adams and suspended enforcement of a foreign anti-bribery law.

A tweet from Tom Malinowski with a verified badge reads:
"Whoops, I accidentally cancelled Ebola prevention!

Doh, I fired the the bird flu experts!

Oops-a-daisy, I stopped the Lutheran Charities foster care and adoption services!

My bad, I sacked the nuclear weapons workers!

Now can I have access to your tax returns?"

You've heard of girl math, but have you heard of billionaire math?

Trump's temporary tax handouts for the rich are expiring this year, and Republicans want working Americans to foot the bill.

They're claiming it'll cost you nothing, but in reality, these tax handouts cost trillions.

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion

Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion

Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on.

It's reverse Robin Hood.
