The Trump admin does not care whether the people they deport have committed crimes. They do not care whether there is reasonable cause to arrest them. They use people as pawns to instill fear in regular Americans, so that they just follow this rotten and criminal administration like sheep.

I am really puzzled as to WHY we are discussing the timelines of the flights that took off to the deport the supposed "gang members." The true scandal is that none of people on these flights had any opportunity to defend themselves. The public does not know who they are.

Appellate court rules Ohio's ban on gender transition treatment for minors unconstitutional The law banning gender transition treatments for minors is headed to the Ohio Supreme Court for a final decision.

The Legislature passed the law in 2023 and later overrode a veto by the Republican governor. The state appeals court said parents have a "fundamental right" to seek medical care for children.

Trump's policies keep destroying the U.S. economy. The S&P 500 is down 50.5 points again today, the Dow Jones loses 260, the Nasdaq is down 304 points. This president sure acts like someone who bankrupted six casinos.

Zampolli founded ID Model Mgmt and ran in the same social circles as Epstein, even running a charity with Ghislaine Maxwell. He says he introduced Melania to Donald at the Kit Kat Club in NY. He facilitated her move to the U.S. from Slovenia after finding her during a scouting trip to Europe.

Tariffs are a tax.
It’s a tax on the farmer who depends on machinery from Canada.
It’s a tax on patients who rely on prescription medication from other countries.
It’s a tax on anyone who needs groceries, electronics, or gas for their cars.
