Has any American president ever done anything remotely like this while in office? Historians are gonna have a field day with this ill-timed, ill-conceived, tone deaf, and lewd debauchery.
Trump held a Great Gatsy-themed party last night while our government is shut down and people can't buy food. The Great Gatsby is a story about excess and greed, vividly depicting the materialism, extravagant parties, and decadent lifestyle of robber barons of the Roaring Twenties.

Kristi Noem says “There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained."

Tell that to George Retes. This U.S. Army veteran and American citizen was wrongfully arrested and brutalized by ICE while simply trying to get to work.

The regime’s attacks on dissent are escalating. Trump’s goal is to silence opposition through fear, but the American people will never submit to his corrupt rule. The best way to protect our rights is by continuing to exercise them.

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

Let's be very clear: Donald Trump's Justice Department is not just going after @katmabu.bsky.social.

Trump is going against the youth movement that will kick his ass in the midterms and destroy MAGA for good.

Kat is fighting for all of us. We need to fight for her.

At Menards hardware store in Cicero, IL

It's a major hardware chain throughout the Midwest.

Look at Trump's masked thugs shattering the truck windows and dragging a man off to an unmarked car.

Menards told employees to delete any videos they took of the ICE raid—or they would be fired.

Did ICE issue some order to threaten witnesses with arrest for recording DHS activities. Border patrol agents have harassed and threatened citizens in Chicago for driving and taking video of officers. 18 USC 111 does not prohibit recording law enforcement officers.

Know your rights.

Chicago Mayor Brandon
Johnson accused the Trump administration of horrific acts, saying
"Black babies are being thrown in the back of vans" and "zip-tied in the middle of the night."

Earlier this year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

You can judge for yourself.

JFC I have no words. Indicted?!?! For WHAT?!?!
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.
