It’s almost as though their system is broken.
New: The government does not track how often immigration agents hold Americans. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration.

To celebrate the Marine Corps Birthday, POTUS has authorized the Navy to… fire missiles at Marine Corps base housing? What?! Absolute clown show of an administration. How about you pay the troops?
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Trump may launch missiles from warships into California this Friday and Saturday as part of what is being described as a “vanity parade” and shut down portions of the I-5 during the No Kings protests

The Taliban’s ‘amnesty’ is a façade. The killing of Afghan partners is real, ongoing, and unforgivable. We call on the U.S. to act swiftly. #DutyNotDone #AfghanEvac

How embarrassing for everyone involved.
🚨NEWS in @PunchbowlNews AM: THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION is girding for a long shutdown. They are in the process of finding money to pay for law enforcement officers. They're using tariff revenue to pay for WIC for the foreseeable future. “OMB is making every preparation to

For our friends in Pakistan
FYI for Afghans with consular interviews scheduled at the Embassy in Pakistan for today October 14, 2025 -- they have reportedly been canceled. The Embassy is saying that they will reach out to reschedule interviews. Please be patient for that. Emailing them is not likely to

Even when elected officials are on the scene, ICE acts inappropriately. We can only imagine how they act behind closed doors. That’s why we’re at Broadview ICE facility. Accountability—now.

Not sure there’s been a more pro-housing Governor in the country than @GavinNewsom. He’s cut regulations, increased supply, built affordable units and led on ADU construction. The work is paying off and we are ready for another housing boom.

I believe @stephenm means priests, wartime allies, family of servicemembers, and grandmas when he is speaking here. People have eyes, Stephen. We know what you’re doing to our friends and neighbors.
The core project of the Democrat Party is preserving mass migration by any means, even lending aid and comfort to those waging violent assault against ICE officers.

We need to clear some things up. 1. Bagram is not reopened & there are no U.S. forces in Afghanistan. 2. Stop going back to Afghanistan. Do not leave the US if you are here. You’re fucking it up for everyone else. 3. Family reunifications through I730 aren’t happening. At all.

Every single day on my old U.S. Navy ship there was an evening prayer of the Christian non-denominational varietal. Other people exist and it’s okay for people to see them, know that they exist, and experience their culture. Also, this is at a mosque. I wonder if “MAGA Mama”
Woman records the Muslim call to prayer being broadcast over loudspeakers in Dearborn, Michigan. Every resident is subjected to hearing it five times a day, from sunrise to sunset. How is this even allowed in America?

This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. I’m going to frame it on my wall.
Remember when @JimLaPorta got banned from Camp Lejeune for violating their press policies? If you’re trying to not get your credentials revoked, you may not want to get your advice from him. Just sayin’. https://t.co/ZTvTBvW0C8

Yikes. This is really horrendous behavior.
SCOOP: Paul Ingrassia, Trump's controversial nominee to head up the Office of Special Counsel, has recently been investigated for allegedly harassing a lower-ranking female colleague at DHS on a work trip to Florida, five administration officials told me.

Don’t let the GOP’s lies fool you: undocumented immigrants can’t get Medicaid, Medicare, or Obamacare. The only way in which the federal govt might pay for their healthcare is through ERs, which are required to give emergency care to all people. Medicaid reimburses hospitals for

Donald Trump was the President in 2020.
The 2020 Census was a fraud. The Biden admin used a shady “privacy” formula that scrambled the data and miscounted 14 states. It included illegal immigrants and handed Democrats extra seats. Americans deserve a fair count and I’m fighting to fix it.

Curious.
New — White House says Donald Trump will visit Walter Reed Medical Center on Friday. While there, he will "stop by for his routine yearly check up." But…Trump had his annual check up already. 5 months ago. On April 11.
