Karoline Leavitt lies shamelessly: "Under Joe Biden, murders were up. Violent crime was up." (Biden brought crime dramatically down from where it was in 2020, the last year of Trump's first term)

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range.
And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

Congressional Republicans unveiled their new “MEGA Act” bill, which could:
❌Impose strict voter ID requirements to vote
❌Create a centralized voter surveillance system in every state
❌Ban universal mail voting
❌And much more
The kicker? These changes would happen all at once.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

1. A group of pro-Trump billionaires took control of TikTok's U.S. operations.
2. TikTok appeared to begin suppressing content about ICE's activity in Minneapolis and criticism of Trump.

Can't emphasize enough how bad this is. ALARA protects power plant workers and the public from cancer-causing levels of radiation.
Ending it allows companies to cut corners in design and operation of reactors that WILL endanger lives.

🚨 A Trump PAC crossed a line. It implied ICE might “track down” people unless they donate.
That’s coercive, deceptive—and possibly unlawful. ICE doesn’t answer to campaigns. Donations don’t change your status.

Bovino had apparently become so accustomed to lying that he pushed the DHS falsehood that Pretti appeared to have “wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.”
Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, was too sympathetic to be smeared so brazenly. Trump recognized that and sent Bovino packing.
