After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were.

The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

"Maine State Press" is not a real news outlet and this Twitter account was created in August.

It has 400 followers but this claim has now gotten 2.5 million views.

Maine State Press on X:

New details are emerging about the recent Politico article on Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner.

The report highlighted a deleted Reddit account allegedly tied to Platner — but notably did not explain how that account was located or verified.

Multiple political sources now claim that advanced data-analysis tools, possibly including Palantir or similar AI-driven technology, may have been used to trace the archived account and compile identifying information linking it to Platner.

As of now, Politico has not disclosed the technical methods or sources behind the discovery.

What do you think the odds of some random person you pull from a MAGA rally knows what the 10th Amendment is?

I guarantee most Americans couldn’t get this question from the new naturalization civics test correct. (It's not multiple choice, you just have to know the answer).

This story in New Britain, CT is one of the craziest and most disturbing crimes I've ever seen. The mom made another child pose as her child during a welfare check even though she starved and killed her own 11 yr old. ctmirror.org/2025/10/17/n...

When they have to invoke Jesus, you know they don't have any actual arguments anymore or opinions of their own. Jesus is not my king. Never has been, never will be. It's fine if you personally believe in him, but I don't and I don't have to. That's the great part of being American.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

Just had the most full circle work call. With someone who knew me BEFORE I was even in preschool. Her son was in preschool with my brother and I was the younger sibling. Then I worked at her restaurant in college. Now I am a lawyer giving immigration advice for their workers. Life is crazy, man.

I can’t believe my boy turns 4 in a month. I feel like this is prime childhood memory time and I’m so excited for him to start more activities. Next year he can start tee ball and Korean school!

37 dollar bucks. I usually buy at Costco though because in our neighborhood we can go through like 4-5 Costco bags of candy on Halloween. I think I’m only going to buy 3 this year then turn off the light. Get off my lawn.

Who wants some ghost peppers from my garden? Bae is traumatized from when he bit half of one a couple years ago as a joke that very much ended up not being funny. 😂

So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

In response to HuffPost’s query about who suggested Budapest, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, “Your mom did,” and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: “Your mom.”

Showered, in my jammies, on the couch with Thai food, and watching the new BTK documentary to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. Wouldn’t have it any other way. 👩🏼‍❤️‍👨🏻♥️
