ICE amps up its surveillance powers, targeting immigrants and antifa Iris scanners, facial recognition apps, phone-hacking software and cellphone location data are among the agency’s recent technological purchases.

"ICE has also purchased spyware in recent weeks that enables it to remotely hack into smartphones and extract data, even if the phones are locked or communication is over encrypted apps."

That’s seven.

Millions expected to rally against Trump administration at ‘No Kings’ protests across the country | CNN Politics “No Kings” organizers say more than 2,500 demonstrations are planned nationwide today in protest of President Donald Trump’s administration. Follow for live updates.

Personal observation and from friends around the country: The high turnout for No Kings Day in suburbs within red states should set the Trump admin back on its heels: www.cnn.com/webview/poli...

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

He said it wouldn’t impact the existing structure at all. So now we’re talking about something other than the Epstein files: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Barron Trump tipped for top TikTok job US president’s 19-year-old son could be appointed to the app’s board

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Wow.

This National Banned Book Week, we’re celebrating the freedom to read stories that reflect the diverse communities that make up our country.

You can try to ban books, but you can't ban ideas - enjoy some of my personal recommendations.

It’s wild the agents who have videographers following them never seem to have footage of what they claim those they are arresting did

Trump is at Walter Reed for the second time since April with little coverage while everyone is covering the indictments of Leticia James and possible indictment of John Bolton on Friday afternoon of a holiday weekend…Seems like a plan…

Will the Trump-Hegseth “esprit de corps” meeting today include a discussion of a loyalty oath to Trump?

Fact Check: True

It was refreshing to hear @KamalaHarris tonight addressing what we face as a country head on and especially all those *leaders* and institutions who have surrendered to Trump. She was unsparing and saying I told you so without saying it. More people should do the same.

To everyone who stood up for free speech and against Trump congratulations. There are more people who oppose what he is doing to this country than support it and today is proof. The cancelled products, channels, trips and more worked. The more that is done the sooner it will stop.

Trump is handing out stakes in the TikTok deal to his allies like candy, or a mafia boss. There is no normal bidding process. He is once again acting alone, and out of his jurisdiction. GOP says and does nothing.

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

Russian State TV: “Let’s give Trump a Nobel Prize from us…our Trumpushka is being mistreated… you’re wrong not to love our Trump… 🇺🇸 is moving away from its fundamental principles…”

They praise him for getting Kimmel fired, sending the military to our cities, etc rooting for our democracy to crumble
