These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

I was gone for 12 days. I’m having a hell of a time figuring out what happened while I was gone. The news moved too fast and its so crazy I can’t tell what’s real.

The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years

That's not good news

Tariffs are taxes on Americans

That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...

ICE tried to pay agents bonuses for how fast they could deport people. Then they scrapped it once the program was made public and reporters started asking questions.

This is Trump’s deportation machine in action: rushed, cruel, and lawless.

This morning, Border Patrol agents hiding in Penske rental trucks raided a Home Depot in Los Angeles to grab day laborers standing around, which the Border Patrol's current CA lead Gregory Bovino called "Operation Trojan Horse."

Raises very serious questions about violation of the court order.
