Benny Johnson is a well known plagiarist, grifter, & Christian nationalist who was being paid by Russia - to the tune of well over a $100,000 a month - to push Russian propaganda on the American people - the perfect bio for a MAGA influencer. We no longer have a Justice Department.πŸ‘‡

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

An β€œimmigration judge” is not an actual judge in the judicial branch. They are a DOJ employee.

As Judge Young, an actual judge, made clear in one of the truly essential parts of his Tuesday ruling. www.lawdork.com/p/judge-will...

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

"Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties."

I'm not a political genius, but I'm pretty sure the party that published a 600-page manifesto on how they want to shut down the federal government are the ones who shut down the federal government.

NEVER FORGET:The LOOMING shutdown is creating mass INSTABILITY to the ACA Marketplaces. Costs WILL skyrocket. BUT, ALSO don't forget that the Trump & GOP BBB ALREADY caused PREMIUM increases for Medicare & Private Insurance. By NOT extending ACA Tax Subsidies MILLIONS of Americans will be UNINSURED!

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked β€” what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers β€” what would we say?

Authoritarianism β€” let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

David Rose, the police officer and Afghanistan veteran with a wife and 2 small children, was murdered by a white, right wing extremist man a month ago over antivaccine conspiracies pushed by RFK Jr. and this administration.

Gov. Evers directs DHS to protect access to safe, effective vaccines "Vaccines save lives, folks. Spreading fear, distrust, and disinformation about safe and effective vaccines isn’t just reckless, it’s dangerous. RFK and the Trump Administration are inserting partisan politics into healthcare and the science-based decisions of medical professionals and are putting the health and lives of kids, families, and folks across our state at risk in the process. Here in Wisconsin, we will continue to follow the science to ensure Wisconsinites have access to the healthcare they need when and where they need it to make their own healthcare decisions that are right for them.”

The fallout from the Trump administration's baffling decision to antagonize South Korea is going to be substantial. Per Evan Feigenbaum: "The US now at risk of losing Korean investment, which reached $76.7 billion in 2023."

I don't think a lot of people realize or know people who were on the receiving end of death threats for over a decade because of Turning Point USA. They made a watch list of professors that made them targets for not only hate mail but death threats. That's Charlie Kirk's legacy.

A U.S. Citizen Detained by ICE for Three Days Tells His Story A conversation with George Retes, an Army veteran swept up in a California raid

High-ranking FBI job losses disproportionately hurt women, people of color Leaders are undertaking an unprecedented campaign to force senior officials off the job.

Heads of the FBI, about six weeks ago: Hey, y’know Mehtab Syed, the special agent in charge of the Salt Lake City branch? Let’s force her out of that position, even though she’s experienced and decorated. I’m sure we won’t need to have anyone experienced to head up that division anytime soon.

To put this into context, the judicial warrant for the search at the Hyundai plant named just four people.

Relying on that warrant, ICE detained nearly 500 people. DHS admitted that included U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and people lawfully here on visas.

Defense Department Scrambles to Pretend It’s Called the War Department President Donald Trump said the so-called Department of War branding is to counter the β€œwoke” Department of Defense name.

A β€œStriking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage A new ProPublica data analysis adds to the mounting evidence that abortion bans have made the common experience of first-trimester miscarriage far more dangerous.

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban.

Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. β€œThis is striking,” one doctor said. β€œThe trend is very clear.”
