The Trump administration is giving local police the power to act as immigration agents through the 287(g) program. But we don’t know how they’re trained, or who they’re targeting.
We filed FOIA requests for records related to immigration arrests, interrogations, and detention.

4. Why would a U.S. private equity firm (Affinity Partners) owned by a U.S. citizen (Jared Kushner) need to waive governance rights to avoid review by the Committee on FOREIGN INVESTMENT in the U.S.?
Because Paramount knows that Kushner's company is simply a vehicle for foreign influence.

This has largely been memory-holed but in Trump 1.0, he picked a big public trade fight with China. They retaliated by cutting off agriculture purchases, farmers got squeezed, Trump mailed them checks and had to go crawling back to Xi for a face-saving "deal".

Moreover, he levied this tax illegally and allocated the proceeds without the sanction of Congress.
The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

Each year, a significant amount of federally protected wolves are illegally killed during deer-hunting season in Minnesota.
One study found that 44% of all illegally killed wolves were killed between Nov. 7-16, a 10 day window when deer hunting is in full swing. Read more: https://bit.ly/3XGCnju

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.
