How the National Media Failed Minnesota And how Trump mastered the omniscandal.

"Trumpโ€™s 'flood the zone with shit' strategy is more sophisticated than it sounds. It reflects a deep understanding of a fundamental weakness."

These Italian Roma tomatoes at a popular warehouse store were $4.50 when Trump took office, tariffs hard at work. America is so effing stupid.

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Billionaires are not your friends.

They never will be.

Never ever.

How to Film ICE Filming federal agents in public is legal, but avoiding a dangerousโ€”even deadlyโ€”confrontation isnโ€™t guaranteed. Hereโ€™s how to record ICE and CBP agents as safely as possible and have an impact.

I think the ICE killings were so bad they had to release the Epstein files.

CNN calling Tom Homan "well respected" and "not as hardline as Bovino" is an interesting choice. The dude took a $50,000 bribe in a fucking Cava bag and says all the same fascist shit as Bovino and Noem.

Giving them more training won't make them more peaceful.

It'll just make their brutalization more polished and effective.

With Greg Bovino being shown the door

A reminder of how he and Kristi Noem have been in lockstep in responding to Alex Pretti's murderโฌ‡๏ธ (and what lead up to it).

An officer was clapping as Pretti was shot 10 times. This is beyond outrage. We must exercise every legal option available. Our nation is being burned to the ground by a demented maniac.
