Still hoping anyone can corroborate the claim that they arrested the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa 🙏

President Donald Trump held a roundtable on Wednesday, which featured prominent administration officials and independent journalists, billed as a “Roundtable on antifa.”

Here are seven claims made during the roundtable event, and a fact check of those claims.

Trump’s antifa roundtable made some wild claims about Portland. Here’s the truth about 7 of them

Portland was mentioned repeatedly during the roundtable event.

For fans of noir stories, femme fatales, and sharply dressed jazz men, Portland Playhouse's 'Paradise Blue' does all that and captures fleeting moments before a highway paved over a place people called home.

I'm seeing a lot of people sharing an image of troops eating Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland. But it appears to be an AI or Photoshop that's based on an image published in years past.

I can’t believe Courtney went back to South Portland to bring us this literal unicorn chaser

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Sorry, it is pretty nasty over there. He continued “we all know that there’s a lot of support for Secretary Noem in Oregon, as we all have seen and we all have showed.” I’m perhaps too heavy into cutting stuff that seems long winded and repetitive. But I don’t want to leave people wondering.

If someone changed that “Long live the wildcards, misfits, and dabblers” mural to “long live the person standing by KATU’s news camera blasting ‘Yakety Sax’ while they filmed Kristi Noem” I would find it appropriate.

Right-wing influencer David Medina was picked by DHS to cover Secretary Noem’s Portland visit. He shows his audience “like maybe five or ten protesters,” seemingly supporting what Oregon leaders have been saying about the ICE protests: unremarkable unless ICE officers use riot control agents.

Blurry proof that Secretary Noem was on the Portland ICE facility roof.

Secretary Noem appeared on the upper roof of the Portland ICE facility, surrounded by a small entourage of video recording staff. Then she left the roof. Multiple reports suggest that was her, way up on the roof.

Taking over for @courtneyvaughn.bsky.social and @portlandmercury.com When I arrived a number of protesters were saying that Secretary Kristi Noem was on the roof of Portland’s ICE facility, but we haven’t seen a motorcade, so it is very likely it was just a feminine looking person in a hat.

ICE facility can be seen at a distance. Little people appear as dots on the first floor roof.

Waiting for more info, but Portland Police Bureau has S Bancroft St blocked off, presumably in anticipation of Kristi Noem's visit to the ICE facility.

The Trump administration claims "far-left Democrat judges" are obstructing their efforts.

But here is Judge Immergut's background:
• Investigated Bill Clinton
• Became a Republican-appointed prosecutor
• Trump appointed her as a federal judge

In 2019, Trump Made Her a Federal Judge. In 2025, She Blocked His Troop Deployment.

Love that Andromeda Strain goes full bejeweled decontamination outfit

A nude man is putting what appears to be a bejeweled or textured silver head covering in a mirrored room. The cover opens like a clam shell and fits over his entire head, closing around the neck. The outside of the helmet is like a faberge egg/disco ball mash-up, twinkling lines running vertically along the entire surface.
