A rare admission from the administration that policy choices have knock-off effects.

In this case: immigration crackdowns raise your grocery bill.

Never before in the history of the Nobel Peace Prize has a nominee publicly discussed wanting the award and claiming to be the most deserving...before donald j. trump!

He was nominated by Netanyahu, who is wanted for crimes against humanity by the International Court.

Humiliating but not to him.

The First Lady proudly admits she has been in contact with the Dictator running our greatest enemy, who is at war with Europe, and the media is talking about the deaths of people you never heard of.

What has happened to this country?

Melania lays bare details of private letter from Putin in surprise announcement

The first lady said Vladimir Putin had signaled a "willingness to engage with me directly" in an unexpected White House announcement.

It’s truly shocking to know that both Netanyahu and Putin face charges from the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.
And trump and melania are making deals with them.

Pam Bondi gets uglier with every clip of her I see. People lying...when everyone knows they are lying...yet they do it anyway...they're the most repulsive thing you can ever see. That feeling of being repulsed...and what you are looking at...when you feel that way...fuse... permanently.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

This is dedicated to those who believed DJT and legacy media coverage that Project 2025 was nothing to be concerned about.

Also, this isn’t legal.
