ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.
This is so heartbreaking 💔

NEW: On the eve of Greg Bovino's court-ordered appearance before Judge Sara Ellis, lawyers in the case ask her to fully bar the feds from using tear gas until she rules on a preliminary injunction.

"Something must be done. Defendants are plainly in contempt, and sanctions are warranted."

Houston, Texas ICE GOONS hospitalized a 16-year-old U.S. citizen on his way to school. The teen, a star football and soccer player, was violently detained alongside his father. Despite his cries for help, “I’m underage!” the agents tackled him, resulting in severe neck and back injuries.

This use of the military as political prop is anathema to everyone who has served or is serving. Wrong, wrong, wrong and dangerous.

A federal judge issues a GAG ORDER barring Trump's DOJ and Department of Homeland Security from violating Kilmar Abrego Garcia's right to a fair trial, citing a record of "troubling" statements that are "exaggerated if not simply inaccurate."

Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
As discussed above, government employees have made extrajudicial statements that are troubling, especially where many of them are exaggerated if not simply inaccurate. (Doc. Nos. 118 at 2–8; 124). These statements made allegations regarding Abrego’s “character or reputation” and expressed government officials’ views on Abrego’s “guilt or innocence.” For example, the DHS Secretary stated that Abrego is a “MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, serial domestic abuser, and child predator.

🧃 '“Pro-Life" Still Has Juice' — and It’s Sour as Hell
Trump’s big “free IVF for everyone” promise just got nuked by anti-abortion lobbyists. A year of behind-the-scenes pressure from groups like Students for Life, the White House quietly killed any plan to actually fund or require IVF coverage.
‘The pro-life movement still has some real juice’: How Trump’s promise of free IVF fizzled
A lobbying blitz by social and religious conservatives paid off last week when Trump announced policies that fell short of his promise to make fertility treatments, which they oppose, free.

The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.
A tweet from Robert Reich states: “The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?”

The Trump Adm is also exploring steps to prevent people with unused SNAP benefits from using those funds after Nov 1. The money in EBT accounts has already been appropriated and expended, so blocking their use does not save a dime. It just hurts Americans.

For Trump, hurting people is the goal.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Trump’s recent obsession with Venezuela is increasingly looking like a shake down for oil & rare earth minerals.

It has little to do with drug boats.

The tech bros have him in a tizzy over rare earth minerals needed for next gen tech.

It’s why he wanted Greenland.

This is the guy who lied on the stand at a trial in LA, telling the jury he witnessed the defendant assault the ICE officer, when the video showed the ICE officer assault the defendant. The jury took an hour to acquit. He's referred to immigrants as "filth, trash, and scum."

Did they copy a North Korean release? This makes me gag! Clearly we can’t trust any press reporting from the Pentagon.
