Q: Is Tom Homan easing the situation in MN?

Lyon: "Weโ€™ve seen a deescalation in the fact that the protests ... have subsided and ICE has been allowed to do their targeted intelligence-driven enforcement operations."

This is false. I talk to MN folks every day who say NOTHING has changed.

In fiery remarks, Rep. Goldman tells Lyons if he doesn't want ICE to be called "a fascist regime" or "secret police," then his agency needs "to stop acting like one."

"People are simply just observing what they are seeing. Thatโ€™s why people are making those comments."

"You all got him McDonalds," says Rep. Brad Knott (R-N.C.), praising the ICE agents for this. "You all did not abduct him."

Hello, DARVO!

"Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim + Offender" is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing "may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior."

Congresswoman Uses Simple Math To Show How Broken ICE Is

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet report plunging tax bills thanks to AI investment and new rules in Washington The build-out of artificial intelligence data centers along with business-friendly provisions in President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" are combining to make 2025 a banner tax year for Big Tech.

While the rest of us suffer under the weight of having to pay to keep the gov't running, large corporations are paying up to 86% less in taxes.

Amazon's tax bill went from $9 billion to $ 1.2 billion, META from $9.6 billion to $2.8 billion, Google $21.1 billion to $13.8 billion.

I warned you Starmer would implode in office I don't care if this sounds smug. I predicted what should have been obvious

We didn't just tell you Starmer would implode in office.

We told you WHY it would implode in office.

In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.

I think the victims and survivors should tell their own stories. The best approach is to continue to cite Virginia Roberts Guiffre's efforts and book, as well as statements at press conferences organized by the survivors.

The Epstein Files Have Fully Exposed the Right. The Jeffrey Epstein files, once fully released, will expose Epstein, detailing his prolific atrocities once and for all.

The Epstein files have exposed tens of millions of Conservative Americans who have continued to move the goalpost for what they deem morally allowable when it comes to the vile, ignorant, spray-tanned object of their cultic fervor...
