DHS ramps up its use of a secretive legal weapon, administrative subpoenas, which allow federal agencies to obtain your data without a judge’s order. Tech reporter @joemenn.bsky.social warns, “We are so awash in data now that an immense amount can be compiled without you ever knowing.” #Velshi
DHS is using administrative subpoenas to retaliate against dissenters
The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known legal weapon, targeting dissenters with administrative subpoenas. MSNOW Legal Analyst Melissa Murray says the Trump administration isn’t using them “to fight crime or enhance public safety, but to minimize public dissent.” Tech reporter Joseph Menn warns, “This isn’t an isolated case.”

"You can't understand the Israeli genocide of Palestinians without understanding what happened close to 80 years now."

WTF happened to the Epstein files? Full release was required December 19 by federal law. Today, 99% are still undisclosed. Initially, there were rolling releases. Now, nothing in weeks.

REMEMBER: The DOJ said the review of these documents was complete in JULY.

Artists need only art supplies and time to work to create magic! Where ever they are.
Using floor wax and colored pencils, John W. Zenc creates his own acrylic paints. His art has earned him the nickname “Picasso.” Here’s how the 65-year-old, working with Q-tips and toothpicks, has become a remarkably resourceful artist.

NEW: Israeli settlers allegedly beat a young American as she defended one of the last Palestinian families left in their way of stealing more land.

They then attacked a grandma & two kids, threatening to burn them alive if they didn’t leave their land.

She says the US hasn’t responded to her.

The attack in the West Bank comes as Donald Trump maintains he brought peace to the Middle East.

Affordability concerns are real because:
- Tariffs raise import costs
- Deportations make it harder to harvest crops
- Attacking Obamacare hikes premiums
- Budget deficits raise mortgage payments
- Undermining the Fed risks inflation.

It's not a hoax; it's a policy choice.

The language of war turned inward—rhetoric of a thug in office. A head of state bragging about “deportations in the morning” isn’t a leader—he’s a domestic terrorist in a suit, the festering carcass of American rot, animated by cruelty and parading the stench of collapse as if it were providence.

Judaism: “What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the whole Torah; the rest is commentary.” To claim condemning wrongdoing is “anti-Semitic” is to claim Judaism would remain mute at & allow for horrific violence against others. I cannot imagine a more anti-Semitic idea than that.
