Notice that the parts of Trump's economic program that help working and middle class Americans — DOGE checks, tariff rebates, and warrior dividends — are popular, progressive, and non-existent. Tax cuts for the rich are unpopular, regressive and very very real.

This tracks with my experience. DHS made up stories like this in Chicago, too. Every story ICE told about being attacked by community members was debunked in court. To assume anything they say is even potentially credible is irresponsible and out of touch with reality.
Re: the ICE actions in south Minneapolis Monday. DHS said "rioters" attacked officers with rocks and pepper spray. Note: I received lots of evidence and didn't see any rocks, the only pepper spray I saw was ICE agents sometimes spraying each other. I did see snow and possibly ice being thrown. (1)

It’s sad that a faction of Americans (MAGA) want this country to be one rooted in hate. Very sad.

Welcome to the dark ages.
The chemical industry has launched a multi-million dollar lobbying blitz to influence Trump, including on regulations related to "forever chemicals."
Trump's EPA has also recently added chemical lobbyists to regulatory positions.
"Make America Healthy Again."

The Trump administration has nearly doubled the amount of formaldehyde considered safe to inhale under EPA regulations.
Formaldehyde causes far more cancer than any other chemical in the air.

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

After taking over housing and healthcare, private equity is now buying up software used by volunteer fire departments — making it even harder for rural communities to respond to emergencies.
The only winners from private equity's price-gouging spree are wealthy investors.

Exactly the sort of tyrannical behavior that the Constitution was written to prevent. See the Fourth Amendment in particular.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

What happened to drain the swamp? Seems like it just keeps getting deeper and bigger.
Donald Trump, Jr.’s net worth has increased six-fold since his father was reelected.
Eric Trump has gotten ten times richer over the same time period.
Funny how that works, huh?
