This is an important piece and you should read it.

Also, I wish journalists would stop saying immigrant families in MN are “staying home to avoid encounters with immigration.”

They’re IN HIDING. It isn’t a casual choice. They have been terrorized into hiding.

Brendan Carr’s Abuse Of FCC ‘Equal Opportunity’ Rule Completely Blows Up In His Face
Yesterday we noted how CBS fecklessly tried to prevent Stephen Colbert from broadcasting an interview with Texas Democratic State Representative James Talarico. Which, as you've probably already seen, resulted in the interview on YouTube getting way more viewers than it would have normally, and Texas voters flocking to Google to figure out who Talarico is: In short, Brendan Carr's…

NEW: ICE Confiscates Children's Letters at Dilley Concentration Camp. I've filed a FOIA Request to Get Them
ProPublica recently published heart-wrenching letters from children at Dilley. ICE then raided the dormitories to confiscate and destroy those letters. I've filed a Freedom of Information Act Request.

Says it all: Social media posts of the president take precedence over official statements of the State Department.
Q: The president just said on Truth Social it would be a 'big mistake' for UK to hold over control of Diego Garcia, but the State Dept said the US supports that handover

LEAVITT: The post should be taken as administration policy. When you see it on TS, you know it's directly from President Trump.

Ummm..... this IS a definite conflict of interest, no matter how you look at it.

The problem wasn’t believing evil would be exposed.

The problem was deciding in advance who had to be innocent.

⚠️ For the first time, the Trump administration is seeking to convict anti-ICE protesters on charges related to domestic terrorism.

Federal prosecutors have characterized the protest as an “antifa attack.”

The trial for nine of the defendants starts TODAY:
Trump wants to prosecute anti-fascists as terrorists. This Texas trial will test his power.
A July 4 shooting at an ICE detention center could change the way the federal government prosecutes activists.
