We got no investigation whatsoever for Renee Good. Todd Blanche said he watched the video and there was no need. Now we will get a rigged investigation on Pretti with DHS investigating itself to determine if DHS did anything wrong, and zero oversight from the Republican Congress.

Another jaw‑dropper - that blasts straight to the top. DHS wasn’t just bending the rules - they had a secret memo laying out how to sidestep the Constitution itself. That’s not “policy,” that’s the blueprint for a criminal conspiracy.

Companies are beginning to unload their U.S. Treasuries - a slow‑motion reaction to Moody’s downgrade on America’s fiscal stability.

For us regular folks, a downgrade means:
- Higher mortgage rates
- Higher credit card and loan rates
- Higher federal interest costs, which cuts out other spending.

Americans lost their lives in oceans, skies, and battlefields to crush regimes that pulled stunts like this. It’s sickening to see their sacrifice treated like it meant nothing.

Craig: "In my district, 2 days ago a special ed teacher pulled into her school parking lot, her windows were smashed, she was taken & detained for 12 hours. I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"

This is a major escalation — a direct intrusion by Trump’s administration into press independence, and a stark warning for anyone who values a free and functioning democracy.
