An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

What farmers don't get.

They don't understand that he doesn't need them anymore.

He just wanted their vote so he could stay out of prison.

If they do get bailed out it's not going to be enough.

BREAKING: Journalists exited the Pentagon after refusing to agree to the Trump administration's new restrictions on access.

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules

Federal resources aren’t campaign tools. Secretary Kristi Noem's new TSA video crosses the line, violating the Hatch Act with blatant political messaging.

We’re urging California airports to stand firm against this unlawful federal pressure and refrain from airing the video.
