CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

The government accused of backing the 9/11 terrorists who killed around 3 thousand people on U. S. soil, are now going to build a Qatari Air Force base on U. S. soil. It will also house Qatari soldiers.

Shouldn’t this be alarming?
What could go wrong?

Trump just eviscerated the CDC.

This is not hyperbole.

Using the shutdown as a pretext, last night he fired—illegally—100s of key scientists, disease detectives, immunologists, respiratory disease experts, the entire Office of the Chief Medical Officer, the CDC's entire Washington office, etc. 1/3

🚨For all Federal workers:

If you know something say something.

Nancy Levine Stearns 🌎 @nancylevinestearns.bsky.social · 1d

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Democrats whistleblower tip line is open.

oversightdemocrats.house.gov/contact/tip-...

Report Potential Wrongdoing Under the Trump Administration

Whistleblowers play a vital role in helping Congress conduct our constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities. If you have knowledge of corporate or government corruption and abuses of power; insights into the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates; or information regarding potential wrongdoing or waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars, your disclosure can make a difference.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Trump's Truth Social post to AG Pam Bondi last month, urging the prosecution of his political enemies — including both James Comey and Letitia James — was meant to be a private message.

Comey's lawyers will likely use that post to argue the case against him should be tossed out.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

EXCLUSIVE — DHS Acting General Counsel sent out a memo Wednesday to all Federal Protective Service staff (the sub-agency that guards federal buildings) letting officers know they could take any action necessary "in the vicinity" federal property to protect themselves.

DHS top lawyer says 'no legal barrier' to actions officers can take to defend federal property
