Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

2. It's as if Schweigert is saying According to the millions of Americans are Martians. (Link to study that takes you to another study by the same people that includes no actual data, just more unsubstantiated claims)

GOP Schweigert claims that millions of Americans were fraudulently enrolled in ACA plans. His proof? People who never made a claim Hmmm...healthy people don't go to the Doctor. Also, his research? The Paragon Institute. And when you dig deeper, you see that the research just cites itself as proof.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

The only thing standing between voters and voter suppression is the U.S. Senate. If 60 Senators vote for the SAVE Act, millions of voters will be disenfranchised and we're headed down the path of one-party-rule. We can't let that happen. Call your Senator or message now: bit.ly/4hZ7Bโ€ฆ

We heard from Vets, Doctors, non-profits, park service employees, TSA, community health workers, refugees, and school admins, ....It's unbelievable that we have such an inhumane, and shortsighted government. Our DEM AGs can litigate, but ultimately it will be settled in the court of public opinion.

I went to the AZ AG townhall in Phoenix. The townhall was for people to tell their stories on how Trump has impacted them. You can read it in the news, but to hear the stories is alarmingly heartbreaking. We will ALL be impacted as it will trickle across the country, 1/2

So, tRumps plan is to deport undocumented workers to Mexico and then kill Mexican jobs with tariffs. And somehow, this is supposed to be good for the U.S.?

Colombia: We're not taking shackled detainees returned on military flights. Transport them with dignity

Trump: Trade war!

Colombia: OK

Trump: Fine, no more shackled detainees returned on military flights

Colombia: Good. Was that so hard?

Trump: They gave in!

Trump fires at least 12 independent inspectors general, Washington Post reports U.S. President Donald Trump's administration fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies late on Friday, the Washington Post reported.

Firing independent watchdogs is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Removes another obstacle to corruption and abuse of power www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
