I can't believe I'm saying this, but there is actually someone who looks even more bat-shit crazy...and Mental Hospital ready that Donald Trump; this ass-crumble Donald just gave $20 billion.

It’s no accident that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem shot and killed a 14-month-old puppy and now oversees ICE.

(I observed at the time of her appointment that her killing of the dog probably made her a more attractive candidate for the position.)

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

This video from Fox32’s helicopter shows how devastating it can be to deploy tear gas in a residential areas.

The thugs once again used it against protesters and Chicago PD… not to mention anyone living in the vicinity.

This is Chicago’s South Side.

Our governors and us are all that stands between authoritarianism and democracy.

We will not tolerate a king in America.

Social media post:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to
protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!

Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker
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?

Dean Blundell’s drops a bomb saying Trump allegedly leaned on Netanyahu to stall Biden’s Gaza deal so he could swoop in, take credit, or even profit off “Peace in the Middle East.” What do you all think? 🤔

BREAKING: Did Trump Lean on Bibi to Stall Biden’s Gaza Deal so HE Could Profit From/Take Credit For "Peace in the Middle East"?

A ceasefire, a victory lap, and a lurking “Gaza Riviera” business plan—was peace timed for politics and profit?

Freedom of Speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences. Good on Governor Hochul for calling this out for what it is, bullshit! They should all be condemned! This is the US 2025, not Alabama 1952!

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

Remember how MAGA told us Javier Milei would fix Argentina's economy with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.
