Despite a court order, the Trump admin is dragging its feet on paying people the SNAP benefits they need. 
 
Meanwhile they're buying Kristi Noem 2 new jets, bailing out Argentina, & building a ballroom. 
 
They have the money.

They just don't want working people to have dignity.

"Build A Ballroom"

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

Federal agents pulling a woman out of Rayito Del Sol, a daycare by Lane Tech high school

Chicago woman dragged out of her car after colliding with ICE demands accountability The arrest of Dayanne Figueroa highlights growing concerns about the use of force against U.S. citizens and due process. She was released after a few hours without charges.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

Among the many amazing things about Adams pleading his case here is that he openly supports and now is asking for help from… people who cancelled funding for cancer research.

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

California folks: if you have a Prop 50 mail-in ballot but haven't mailed it in yet, do it today. Please. I am begging you. It's literally the only question on the ballot and it'll take you like 30 seconds to fill out. Redistricting only happens if enough people vote for it by next Tuesday. #yeson50

A running team from Chicago posted that Trump’s federal agents dragged a runner (67 years old) from his car, broke his ribs, and caused internal bleeding.

ICE violently detain father & son walking to school—teenage boy had to be rushed to hospital.

"I was just going to school," kid cries out. "I'm underage!"

The 16-year-old star athlete is a U.S. citizen—agents sent him to the hospital with severe injuries to his back & neck.

Houston, Texas.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Secondly. The President is to be commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States. In this respect his authority would be nominally the same with that of the king of Great Britain, but in substance much inferior to it. It would amount to nothing more than the supreme command and direction of the military and naval forces, as first General and admiral of the Confederacy; while that of the British king extends to the DECLARING of war and to the RAISING and REGULATING of fleets and armies, all which, by the Constitution under consideration, would appertain to the legislature.

It’s also worth reading the Federalist Papers; key architects of the Constitution wrote them to convince States to adopt their new design. They explain how it’s meant to work: the legislature MUST control military funding to prevent POTUS from becoming a KING. avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century...

Donald J. Trump + @realDonald Trump Just in: Documents show conclusively that Christopher Wray, Deranged Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, and other crooked lowlifes from the failed Biden Administration, signed off on Operation Arctic Frost. They spied on Senators and Congressmen/women, and even taped their calls. They cheated and rigged the 2020 Presidential Election. These Radical Left Lunatics should be prosecuted for their illegal and highly unethical behavior! 2.73k ReTruths 7.67k Likes 10/24/25, 22:11

Just for the record, in 2020:
- Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey
- Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes
- Garland was an appeals court judge
- Monaco was in private practice in LA

There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise.

He crazy.

Trump Administration Live Updates: Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

This country is allowed to have tariffs. You just have to convince Congress that they're a good idea.

The President can hold tariff powers instead of Congress, if you can convince voters to amend the Constitution.

If you can't convince anyone of anything, rethink your ideas.

Right: he's treating Treasury accounts like slush funds to pay military personnel, he's buying luxury jets for cabinet members with our $$, he's using state power to extort bribes to fund his stupid ballroom, and now he wants to help himself to a 9-figure sum while fed workers aren't getting paid.

Maybe the Chicago and Portland chambers of commerce should sue the administration over the defamation and military occupation of their cities in the same way the national Chamber sued over H-1b visa fees?

Trial shows that ICE agents lied, concealed evidence in an illegal effort to convict the "libtard" who filmed them.

Musician playing ‘Ghostbusters’ outside ICE facility is arrested by agents ‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

According to the victim's attorney, the body camera captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good”
