Your border czar was caught taking a $50,000 bribe. Nothing about that is fake except you pretending it doesn’t matter.
Peace in the Middle East? China threatening critical supply chains? Government shutdown? George S doesn’t care about that. He’s here to focus on the real story: a fake scandal involving Tom Homan.

In a functioning democracy, armed, masked federal agents secretly kidnapping an autistic child and not notifying his family would be all over the news, with congressional hearings, and bipartisan outrage. We’re no longer a functioning democracy.
ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify family. Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time. He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Stephen Miller is trying to provoke violence in American cities so he can justify authoritarian repression he's that bad a person https://t.co/9bodIn6MLd

Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff, has never hidden his disfigured and dangerous psyche. But now Donald Trump has empowered him to execute his fascist impulses.

If you don’t think this country is turning into a fascist, Nazi-like police state in front of our eyes, then I don’t know what to say to you.
During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. https://t.co/c9C7Zm4wsn

unimaginable in our USA
In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.

That was my sense as I was watching on television. Glad it was confirmed.
Alan Porter, the best ump in baseball, with another masterpiece last night: ~96% accuracy on taken pitches ~97% overall consistency (Ump Scorecards) Five hours of tense baseball 472 pitches: no miss by more than an inch, with only five framed misses

The playbook is as obvious as it is repetitive. They will illegally arrest US citizens, and when they are caught, they will still slander them, attempting to ruin their lives. We've seen the same pattern over and over.
Fair and transparent local news stations in Chicago?🤨 Apparently not, as this employee of a local television network decided to take the news cycle to a whole new level by throwing an object at Border Patrol Agents conducting lawful duties. Reporting now shifts to a different

Either Trump gets it or the @NobelPrize Committee disbands.

As a person who actually lives in Portland, I will continue to push back against this administration’s bullshit. There are not “fires all over the place.” Stop letting these buffoons lie to you.
Trump: “The amazing thing is you look at Portland, and you see fires all over the place…It's like movies you see for the kids, adults also with these bombed out cities” WTF https://t.co/YWxmj1fhk5

ILLINOIS Candidate for Congress @KatAbughazaleh: “You said Prizker & Johnson need a history lesson - I’d like to give you one: when masked men are kidnapping entire families, naked, zip-tying their hands and throwing them into U-haul trucks… they’re usually not the good guys.”

The corruption on display here is clear as day. But we can't simply be quiet. We all have to speak out against the weaponization of our Justice Department. We need a DOJ that works for the people, not one that is focused on political retribution for Donald Trump.
Trump's handpicked acting US attorney indicts Letitia James, the latest adversary of the president to be brought up on charges after career prosecutors concluded there was insufficient evidence.

They want to go after "Antifa" because it has no leader, no organization, no bank accounts, etc... This way they can say anyone is Antifa. This way they can do anything they want. That's it. That's the whole Tooth Fairy/Santa Claus/Antifa fantasy. It's to go after YOU.

!!!!!!!!!!
Authoritarians aren’t creative—they follow the same script: gag the press, choke funds, rig votes. Nixon used more finesse. If Congress doesn’t stop DOJ/IRS vendettas now, elections will resemble Putin’s. Switchboard: 202-224-3121.

The people suing Trump over his illegal imposition of tariffs are American business owners whose businesses have been seriously damaged by his actions. Calling them "enemies of the country" is disgusting. But it's in line with Trump's other authoritarian nonsense.

Your President doesn’t want his citizens to know the truth either. That’s why he’s shutting them down.
We should not be shutting down Voice of America, Radio Free Europe. Radio Free Asia and Middle East Broadcasting Networks. We need these in our national security toolkit. Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and Cuba don’t want their citizens to know the truth. Information is power.

Fourth-best city in the U.S. according to the new Condé Nast Traveler list. Guess they’ll be charged with DEI violations soon.
This is ludicrous. As Judge Immergut put it, Trump on Portland is untethered from reality.

Never in the history of our great country has a President threatened to jail a Governor for disagreeing with him. I stand with Governor Pritzker and hope all Americans do as well. This is authoritarian insanity. Donald Trump’s not fighting crime, he’s abusing power to attack
I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?
