Mississippi’s state auditor has made it clear he stands with ICE.

Here is ICE, assaulting Presbyterian minister David Black, of First Presbyterian in Chicago.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

I’m returning to Mississippi after spending the past two days in Chicago, where ICE has targeted Black and Brown folks with no regard for law or due process.

Everywhere is Mississippi.

The FBI is weighing an arrest and perp walk for Comey β€” and suspended an agent for refusing to help, sources say The FBI is considering carrying out a "showy" arrest and perp walk of the agency's now-indicted ex-Director James Comey, sources tell CBS News.

β€œThe source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.

This is simple. Congress should not willingly pay the bills to fund the most serious assault on political freedom in our lifetime - an assault that may collapse democracy as we know it if we don't fight back.

I love when student journalists break a crazy story, especially about their own school. This one is extraordinarily macabre. www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2025/10/01/u...

I really hope Cliff Johnson's campaign for Mississippi's 1st Congressional District gets some national attention from the Democratic Party.

His campaign launch video gave me chills. I know Cliff. He's the real deal.
