It’s *VERY* important to note that ABC didn’t decide to pull Kimmel’s show as a private business decision (which they have a right to do), rather, the FCC implied that if ABC didn’t punish Kimmel, the licenses of ABC affiliates could be revoked.

This is chilling to watch and utterly unacceptable in the United States of America.

As a former Senator, I’m calling on all current members to speak out on behalf of Sen. Padilla and defend him and the Senate against these outrageous attacks.
Senator Padilla’s office sends me this video of his take-down and detention at Sec. Noem’s press conference in L.A.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption.

Breathtaking. Heartbreaking.

We cannot let this stand.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession.

Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months.

Gotta be some kind of record.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:

An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

"Many scientists told 60 Minutes that vaccines could be the best defense. There is a vaccine for bird flu, but it has not been licensed by the Food and Drug Administration. Moderna has a new one, but the Trump administration has paused its final funding."
As the H5N1 bird flu virus mutates and rapidly spreads through American cattle herds — a first for the U.S. — doctors and veterinarians are fearful that if the virus is left unchecked, it could spiral into a possible pandemic. https://cbsn.ws/4ionCJG
As bird flu hits cattle herds in U.S., scientists say these H5N1 factors worry them most
Bird flu infections have been rare among people, but the pathogen is evolving, which has scientists worried about a possible pandemic.

🖋️ “Remove Pete Hegseth Immediately” hit 250 signers!

💬 Text SIGN PPWWJW to 50409
Remove Pete Hegseth Immediately
Text SIGN PPWWJW to 50409 — The time for polite concern has passed. It is your constitutional duty to act decisively: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth must be removed from office immediately. Hegseth has now been implicated in two separate national security breaches—each of which would be grounds for removal on its own. On March 15, he shared highly classified military strike plans targeting Yemen not through secure government systems, but via Signal, a commercial messaging app that’s explicitly barred for such use by the Department of Defense. He did this not once, but twice. In the first incident, he shared operational details with a group that mistakenly included a journalist. In the second, he deliberately included his wife, brother, and personal attorney—none of whom had the security clearances or legal authority to receive such information. This is not just reckless. It is textbook misconduct that endangered American lives, jeopardized active missions, and violated national security protocol. He used his personal phone, ignored repeated warnings from senior aides, and allowed his former Fox News producer wife to attend meetings with foreign military leaders. This isn’t leadership. It’s dangerous nepotism, unfit for a Pentagon intern—let alone the Secretary of Defense. Your silence is complicity. Every hour Hegseth remains in power sends a message to our allies, our troops, and our enemies that the U.S. is willing to tolerate chaos, favoritism, and a complete disregard for protocol at the highest levels of our military command. Investigations are underway, but the facts are already clear. The Pentagon’s acting inspector general is probing what experts have called “the most serious operational breach by a cabinet official in modern history.” National security is not a game—and it should never be compromised to impress friends or curry political favor. Enough. Remove Pete Hegseth from office now—before the next breach costs lives.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️

Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines.

He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.
