"ICE AGENTS VERBALLY ASSAULTED AT MN RESTAURANT"

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

The ICE shooter was a registered independent. Kirk's killer had no affiliation. Trump's shooters were a Republican and a former Trump supporter. Facts matter.

I can't believe MSNBC is falling for this "anti-ice" on the bullet thing. The shooter's brother says he wasn't political and didn't have strong feelings about ICE. Where's the scrutiny?

I was worried they were starting to get it. It doesn’t appear that will happen anytime soon though.

Powell: "GDP growth has slowed notably in the first half of this year, to a pace of 1.2%, roughly half the 2.5% pace in 2024. The declining growth has largely reflected a slowdown in consumer spending ... higher tariffs have begun to push up prices in some categories of goods."

Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.

Check this shit!

Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California — no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents.

Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.

This is so important…

Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles.

In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected.

REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency.

Target’s CEO is stepping down as sales continue to plunge | CNN Business Target CEO Brian Cornell is stepping down after 11 years at the retailer, as the company faces slumping sales and backlash to its retreat on DEI.

Target caved to Trump, sold out their core customers, and torched their own brand.

They chose this path, and now they’re paying for it. I’m still not shopping there.

Congress tried to control D.C. police in 1989. The results were disastrous. Today, relaxed criminal laws and a pandemic-era crime spike have again made D.C. a federal target. But little is known about exactly how federal officials plan to improve the conditions they complain ...

Jeanine Pirro is finally leaving the White House tonight after this morning's press conference.

I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started.

NEW: VoteVets Responds to Trump’s Illegal Strikes on Iran

Congress? You awake?

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.

Rep. Gomez: LA County alone is 34% foreign born, 34%. So when he says they're going to liberate us, who is he going to liberate us from? Ourselves?

The unrest on Ghorman needs to be put down firmly.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Pete Hegseth is threatening to send active-duty Marines into California. Pure madness. Pure authoritarianism.

President Trump's proclamation hands significant authority to someone who lacks a cool head.

Here's Secretary Hegseth's first statement:

False statements below and then this:

"If violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert."
