ICE break window to enter U.S. citizen's house without warrant—violently tackle man for filming them. Agents turn to leave and close front door—suddenly barge back in to physically assault homeowner. "They're inside my house with no warrant—I'm a U.S. citizen!" she tells 911

They lied. All of them: Trump, Noem, Miller, Vance, and Patel. And then they covered it up.
NYT: FBI agents equipped with a signed warrant prepared to document blood spatter and bullet holes in Renee Good's SUV received orders to stop, including from Kash Patel. The fear? "a civil rights investigation would contradict Trump’s claim that Good “violently, willfully, and

A U.S. Army veteran detained since a traffic stop in September for not using a turn signal has now been deported. Godfrey Wade lived in the U.S. over 50 years, served 8 years in the Army, and was pursuing citizenship under a Biden-era directive later rescinded under Trump.
ICE is moving to deport a U.S. Army veteran detained after failing to use a turn signal. He served eight years, earned multiple medals, and has six U.S. citizen children. He’s been transferred to a LA facility after Trump ended protections for veterans. https://t.co/NIMXluyZ45

"Senate Dems considered a requirement banning ICE agents from polling sites as a demand in negotiating the DHS funding bill. But that was not included in their final list..." Crazy idea: Given what Trump's said, update the "final list" to include it. https://t.co/D8MMEvUk7d

Election officials are preparing for the possibility of immigration enforcement activity at or near polling sites in November.

If these are the stories we're getting now, just wait until after this miserable administration ends, and we start to get the full picture. We should be ashamed now. Our shame will only grow. Future generations will ask how we let this happen.
MORE: Judge Menendez tonight ordered the release of a woman from Ecuador who says she suffered severe injuries during her arrest by ICE, requiring "treatment for lesions to her face and surgery for her appendix and gall bladder." https://t.co/H87iFd7x2V

DHS, ICE, Tricia, etc. responded to this post over 20 times last night. They are really worried that people will see that their agents are still acting so dangerously, carelessly, and repressively.
DHS agents in MN swerved in front of an unarmed woman who was recording them, once again WALK IN FRONT OF A CAR with guns drawn. The only thing they've learned from Renee Good is how to get away with killing people. A local cop intervened to stop the illegal arrest!

Why it's hard to focus the outrage. Past 72 hours: - Trump sues IRS for $10b - Fulton Co. election records, play for 2026 steal - MELANIA doc/bribe rollout - WSJ on sellout of AI chips for personal $$ - DOJ pitch for Trump-loyal AUSAs - Epstein files, OMG - Minneapolis, ongoing

An Abu Dhabi royal backed a secret $500 million investment in Trump’s crypto company. Months later, U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

Legendary conservative lawyer, top Fox News legal analyst, National Review contributor, and a guy who's professionally hated Democrats for years And *even he* is sounding the alarm about Trump and the GOP 👇
If support for incumbent the president is now a condition of enforcing federal law, Congress should defund DOJ. DOJ should only exist if it’s nonpartisan. Too dangerous to liberty otherwise. If AG Garland’s office had posted this, MAGA & GOP would be calling for impeachment.

Even with everything in this Epstein drop, remember: this is a minority of the files. This is STILL just what they were *willing* to release - in violation of the law, which requires release of all files. Pam Bondi’s DOJ is still hiding most of them. We need them all.

BREAKING: Both the White House & RNCC have lashed out at the creators of this ad. It must have struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

Every FBI official trying to follow the law is being removed.
BREAKING on @MSNOWNews - The acting chief of FBI field office for Minneapolis has been removed from his job by headquarters, two sources tell me. This comes on heels of his office's disputes with @FBI HQ over ICE protests & ouster of Atlanta chief. https://t.co/6NALjGSOcl

It’s insane that TikTok was more Pro Free Speech when it was owned by the Chinese Communist Party than when it was owned by Donald Trump and Larry Ellison.

"It’s time to wake up. Trump seems keen on influencing the vote in states that will decide margins in 2026 and the outcome in 2028. That he has the FBI participating in his effort is a terrifying demonstration of how many guardrails he has steamrolled..." https://t.co/DBjwjHc9H4

The FBI’s seizure of Georgia ballots is as much about future elections as past ones.

ICE brutally detain U.S. resident during traffic stop—refuse to release him until he gives them DNA swab. Agents injured his head when breaking the car window—and sprayed him with pepper spray. "They laughed" when the pepper spray burned his skin making him jump around in pain.

how do you get to a place ideologically where you call yourself a libertarian but also believe people need to stay in their houses so that agents of the federal government don't execute them in the streets

Troubling. Using 2020 conspiracy theory to grab voter files and records for 2026. First Bondi in Minnesota letter and now this.
And it begins. expect more of this in the run up to 2026 https://t.co/zI0kCsaJJH

We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️
