Trump, Border Patrol Retreat in Failure from Chicago Five important lessons of the first six months of Trump’s immigration raids — and why CBP’s Greg Bovino is the Nathan Bedford Forrest of the Trump era.

This is a fabulous read:

"Bovino’s Border Patrol raiders have one playbook — terror — and it’s less effective each time they deploy it. So far, it’s aging in nuclear half-lives. The shock value is wearing off..."

ESQUIRE: “ICE is hiring literally anybody, and it’s terrifying… people who flunk the exam, criminal records… yet they’re allowed to tear children from their beds at night.”

Nydia Velázquez is always a champion of democracy even when its hard. She was the only elected in her part of Brooklyn to challenge the corrupt Vito Lopez Democratic Machine. Her legacy is alive in AOC, Mamdani & more and by announcing this now she gives folks time to run a fair primary. Respect!

Hedy Lamarr not only was in one of the first topless scenes in film history, but also invented frequency hopping technology that helped the Allies beat the Nazis and eventually lead to the creation of cellular phone technology.

On October 1, 2025, after successfully completing 16 weeks of the FBI Academy's
19-week training program, Maltinsky was handed a letter terminating his employment with the
FBI. The letter was signed by Defendant Patel ("Patel"). In the letter, Patel wrote that he had
"determined that [Maltinsky] exercised poor judgment with an inappropriate display of political signage in [his] work area during [his] previous assignment at the Los Angeles Field Office." In short, Patel fired Maltinsky for displaying a pride flag at his workstation that had been flown by the FBI at the LAFO and then given by the FBI to Maltinsky.
The Defendants' discrimination against Maltinsky for engaging in protected speech
was a clear and brazen violation of federal law and the Constitution.

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait.

It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on.

NEW: Evanston has released video + reports surrounding a 10/31 incident where a CBP agent threatened to shoot people + another beat a handcuffed man.

We found some disturbing X posts from one of the feds, also seen in other viral videos. His name is Timothy Donahue, and it's now public record:

You're a federal agent? Do you have an opinion on which "President's daughter falls in love with her Secret Service agent" movie is better -- Chasing Liberty or First Daughter?

Let me tell you why Chasing Liberty is the better film....

"Fear is contagious, but so is courage."

Good statement.

Trump and Republicans are clearly on the defensive at this point and Trump is acting in desperation literally throwing stuff on his social media platform.

Dems shouldn't be giving an inch rhetorically - but also legislatively on the Hill.
