Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Rep. Ryan Zinke: "Our economy right now is not great. The jobs report was not great."

SCOOP: At 9:35am on Wednesday, the first morning of the US government shutdown, employees at the Small Business Administration (SBA) received a template from human resources for their suggested “out of office” email. They were advised to blame the Democrats.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

As @timmiller.bsky.social says: “irresponsible & sick”

NEW REPORT from Forbes has revealed the Trump family has doubled its fortune—to a total of about $10 billion.

For Donald Trump, his White House comeback has been “the most lucrative year of his life,” with POTUS raking in $3 billion, two-thirds of which came from cryptocurrency. trib.al/U2Sm4vo

This is what politicization of the Justice Department results in.

“.. For Bessent, the Argentine crisis is significant .. He bought up distressed Argentine debt as an investor and worked with [President] Macri .. , Now, rather than fighting government intervention in currency markets, Bessent is advocating for it.”

Another authoritarian red flag 🚩

Pentagon reporters can no longer gather or share information unless the government signs off first. And if they get away with it here, nothing is off limits next.

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

All while making it even harder for people to afford their groceries.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

BASH: The big difference here, as you know, is that this is a broadcast network that was threatened by a govt individual who has oversight over their regulation and potential for mergers

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Sure, but this is also a network that has not been friendly to this administration whatsoever

If you are still in denial, wake up. It’s truly deteriorated to this level

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

JUST IN: Vaccine advisers to the CDC have voted to recommended against using the combined measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox vaccine for children under 4. https://cnn.it/3K73pNn

Imagine weaponizing the Justice Department to chase phantom crimes against your political opponents… then punishing prosecutors for not making them up. That’s not America, that’s authoritarianism.

Btw, this was JD Vance just a few months ago back in February of this year🙃

Trump posts an AI image of himself trading Intel stock in the Oval Office.

Had to double check if this was real.

It is.

This is precisely what the 1st Amendment was designed to prevent: the abridgment of free speech about government by government.

A tip and some Instagram posts led New York Times reporters to a Turkish oil magnate’s megayacht — where President Trump’s daughter Tiffany and her husband were apparently cruising the Mediterranean.
