Something, something Weaponization of Government. Good thing Jim Jordan will be on this! Nah, he’ll just look the other way like he did at OSU.
“Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US central bank had been served grand jury subpoenas from the Justice Department threatening a criminal indictment related to his June congressional testimony on ongoing renovations of the Fed’s headquarters”

This interview is absolutely brutal to watch, to the point where honestly surprised Noem agreed to do it.
Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on J6. Trump pardoned them all. You said Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters."

It is a constitutionally protected right to observe and record law enforcement in the conduct of their duties.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Pastor: I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.'

HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE agents today, and not being allowed to go near her.
The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

After posting on the White House website just yesterday that Ashli Babbit was "murdered in cold blood," the administration states that the victim of the ICE shooting in Minnesota was justifiably killed as a "domestic terrorist."

Clearest angle yet of the ICE officer fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis. DHS said a "violent [rioter] weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them." Is that what this shows?

Why is Donald Trump so afraid of Tim Walz? Fear is the only thing that could explain his conspiracy-theory campaign against Walz and Minnesotans.
Donald Trump is now reposting videos on Truth Social suggesting that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman assassinated.
This is objectively evil, and calling it out should not be political.
