Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Attorney General Pam Bondi tells a member of a co-equal branch of government during a public hearing: “You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer.” The disdain for our own government is appalling. This administration is destroying our democracy.

Yesss, Scientology does this every year.

Just one note, they don’t buy a national ad for the Super Bowl.

They buy local ad time across the country to give the impression they’ve bought a national ad.
A commercial for Scientology.

A massive new voter suppression bill could disenfranchise 21 million Americans before the midterms.

The GOP-led campaign to create barriers to voting follows a series of alarming White House statements telegraphing its intent to interfere with the 2026 midterm elections.

In the past few weeks, passing the legislation has been a unifying rally cry for Republicans, a welcome distraction from the party’s cratering public opinion polls.

It was another busy week for voting and democracy.

President Trump issued his clearest statement yet about taking control of elections. And after House Speaker Mike Johnson welcomed Trump’s comments, the GOP proposed the most restrictive voting bill in modern U.S. history.

Apparently, Laura Ingraham thinks about 70% of the people of Minneapolis are crazed radical socialists hellbent on the radical overthrow of the US Government. Mostly, they're Lutherans who are concerned about what is being done to their neighbors.
Laura Ingraham described anti-ICE protesters as radical socialists who are hellbent on overthrowing the U.S. government. There is no viable communist party in the U.S. and the protesters aren't an armed militia but that won't stop Ingraham from promoting the new red scare.
