Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

Janet Mills is now in the Maine Senate race.

I will NOT be supporting her in the primary

I am offended that a 77 years old thinks that’s a good idea.

I also have no patience for anyone who takes money from AIPAC.

It’s time for new blood.

Graham Platner is electrifying the people of Maine.

Your mouth in the neck ad has disgusted me enough that I will never buy anything from you.
Ever.

The returning old things also is charmless. It cost$25 to drop off old electronics. Get that wrench back to take her junk home with her.

Trump will be giving Charlie Kirk the Medal of Freedom.

Next, he will be giving one to George Lincoln Rockwell, former head of the American Nazi Party, assassinated in 1967.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.
