Let's see who in Chicago sells DHS buildings...

Noem: "With your authority, we're purchasing more buildings in Chicago to operate out of. We're gonna not back off -- in fact, we're doubling down. We're gonna be in more parts of Chicago in response to the people there. We're looking at facilities we can deploy more law enforcement out of."

In a stunning development, the Trump administration admits in court that it has moved California National Guard members into Chicago, which to this point has been done in secret. To be clear, there is no security reason to have withheld this information from the American people.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

Kristi Noem: "I was in Portland and met with the governor and mayor and chief of police and superintendent of the highway patrol. They are all lying and disingenuous and dishonest people. Because as soon as you leave the room, then they make the exact opposite response."

In a democracy based on freedom and the rule of law, we don’t jail public officials—or anyone—because of policy disagreements. We need everyone to repudiate this nonsense because a president cannot act as a prosecutor, judge, jury and dictator.
