ICE is thug trash.

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

The scoop: Trump refuses to do anything to reduce health insurance premiums; House Republicans refuse to come back to Washington due to Epstein files; and now they send layoff notices to CDC researchers dealing with burgeoning measles cases?

The Republican shutdown isn’t an accident. It’s the result of Project 2025 extremists who think chaos is a strategy.

JD Vance is LYING. These firings have NOTHING to do with the shutdown.

Donald Trump is CHOOSING to fire these scientists to threaten Democrats.

Trump is destroying what little is left of our public health infrastructure, and we will NOT be ready for the next pandemic.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision

An August 2025 analysis found that 65% of people taken into ICE detention in fiscal year 2025 had no criminal convictions.

The same analysis indicated that over 93% of those booked into detention had NO conviction for a violent offense.

The criminal is HIM.

Can we talk about the billions Trump is making off his crypto scam in return for favors? www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

Donald Trump Is Now One Of The World's Biggest Bitcoin Investors

Trump's crypto portfolio goes beyond World Liberty Financial and his memecoin—he’s also big into bitcoin. Will he use his presidency to boost its price to new heights?

“This was no longer a safe scene, and in that moment, I realized that the scene had not actually been safe the entire time that they were blocking us from exiting, and that we were essentially trapped.”

“I was still in such shock,” the driver later wrote, “that they were not only accusing me of such a thing, but crowding and cornering me in the seat, pointing and screaming at me, threatening to shoot and arrest me, and not allowing the ambulance to leave the scene.”

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

You could tell Vance he didn’t believe a word exiting his fraudulent talk-hole. He was just thinking & praying—as flunkies do for tragedies—that the #MadKing watching from Mar-a-Lago would toss him a participation trophy.
