When you realize that Trump has always been working for Putin, it all begins to make sense...

23-year-old US citizen, Ruben Ray Martinez, was murdered by ICE-holes at a traffic stop on March 15, 2025, in the beach community of South Padre Island.

This sketchy body cam footage is reminiscent of the murder of Renee Good.

Trump tries to hide behind his wars but an entire city became a billboard. Epstein files. The client list. Projected across buildings for everyone to see. No one could look away. No one could scroll past. The streets became the screen. This is what happens when the internet goes outside!

Even someone as stupid as Trump has to see that Putin does not respect him. Not one little bit.

Every president since COVID has stayed above the pre-pandemic average β€” until now. That yellow bar in 2026 doesn’t just fall short. It crashes BELOW zero. Years of payroll growth, wiped out.
Trump didn’t inherit a mess.
He created one.

Dufus Ford confirms he wants to fill parts of Lake Ontario to create land for a new convention centre, arguing it will attract tourists & jobs to Toronto.
Critics call him out of touch: β€œhe says money doesn’t grow on trees & wants to spend billions on a fantasy island.” #cdnpoli

FEW JOURNALISTS ARE COVERING THIS :

Trump's war in Iran has brought one more disgusting scandal to the WH ; there are bets going on in the Situation Room about how many strikes there will be.

While our people suffer with soaring prices, they made $1M+ betting on death and human pain ...

23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? β€œI’m sorry sir”.

ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.

Renee Good’s last words? β€œIt’s ok I’m not mad”.

Alex Pretti’s last words? β€œAre you ok?”

These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.

Abolish ICE

An Epidemic of β€˜Victory Disease’ The president is pointing to the American military’s excellence as though that somehow constitutes a strategy in itself.

For years, strategists have warned national leaders against the temptations of "victory disease," the belief that winning battles means they're winning the war. Leaders throughout history have made this mistake, and Trump seems to be making it now.

β€œI hope you are impressed,” Trump said on Thursday to ABC’s Jonathan Karl. β€œHow do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better.” Trump then repeated, β€œHow do you like the performance?” - this is the β€œtheatre” that entertains him. Kennedy Center RIP

That is not what Iran said. They said no more missiles to countries that don't fire upon them. You know, being an actual intelligent country. They aren't surrendering anything. They are uniting their region. People are already pausing participation on "Board of peace" scam. Trump sounds desperate.

It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.

Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

Iran adds new urgency to Pentagon’s Ukraine drone deal Iran’s counterattack has exposed a vulnerability that’s left the Pentagon asking Ukraine for help.

Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran has given Ukraine a new card to playβ€”its hard-won expertise defending against Russian drone and missile attacks.

The Iranian counterattack with cheap, easily produced drones has added new urgency for the Pentagon to close a deal with Ukraine.

Ah, the irony!

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.

Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes.

Wonder why that is?

Anthropic says the Pentagon has declared it a national security risk After months of negotiations, the Defense Department cut off business with the leading AI company. Anthropic said it sees β€œno choice but to challenge it in court."

β€œAnthropic CEO Dario Amodei had wanted stronger guarantees the Pentagon would not use its AI technology for deadly autonomous weapons or mass domestic surveillance.” The DOD has
now designated Anthropic a β€œthreat to national security” & banned it from doing business w/ the military. 3/5/26 … 1/

Justice Department publishes some missing Epstein files related to Trump The Justice Department has published additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld.

DOJ β€œaccidentally” withheld 53 pages of Epstein files tied to Trump. NPR caught it. Now 16 more quietly appear… leaving 37 pages still missing.

Apparently β€œmistakenly tagged as duplicates” is the DOJ’s new filing system.

Nurses. Truck drivers. Federal workers. Tech employees. Trump didn’t just kill jobs β€” he gutted the backbone of this country. Healthcare down 28K. Transportation down 11K.

These aren’t numbers.
They’re families.
And he called this a plan.
