From ICE Cheers to Bathroom Tears❗️❗️❗️ 🤷‍♂️

Kristi Noem once applauded ICE for blocking Dem lawmakers.

Now she’s furious she couldn’t access a bathroom in Chicago.

Funny how authoritarian cruelty hits different when it’s aimed at you.

What the facility is really facing is an investigation. Just days before all of this, on September 24th, local officials had made it clear that ICE is about to lose its permit to operate in Portland because of repeated violations.

🚨 Comey Indictment = Pure Political Theater!

The DOJ going after James Comey isn’t about justice — it’s about Trump’s revenge machine.

🚨 Trump’s Mafia Politics Exposed❗️

He’s about to FIRE a U.S. attorney — not for wrongdoing, but for refusing to frame Letitia James.

That’s not leadership, that’s pure corruption.

🔥 There’s No Antifa Army … Because It Doesn’t Exist!

They’re using fear, not facts. Antifa isn’t a structured group—it’s an anti-fascist ideology.

This push to terrorize ideas is chilling.

Democracy & the First Amendment are under attack.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

When Melissa Hortman died we cared while you ignored it.
When Charlie Kirk died we spoke of his true legacy while you hyper-sanitized it (among other things).

We are not the same.

When George Floyd died they burned down cities.
When Charlie Kirk died we host vigils.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Israel fired on Hamas in Qatar—a country housing the massive U.S. Al-Udeid base—without warning. Qatar was blindsided.

The irony is staggering. A convicted fraudster + pedophile crying 'mortgage fraud' at Lisa Cook? Classic GOP projection—accuse others of what you’re guilty of. DOJ should be focused on protecting democracy, not amplifying Republican distractions.

Fact check: RFK Jr lied during his confirmation hearings. Not once, but repeatedly—and provably.
This isn’t new!!!

He’s deceived the public for decades. He’ll do it again today. Don’t fall for it.
