In a fight between Pritzker and and police, who is going to win? This is what happens when both parties allowed law enforcement to become one of the most powerful political actors in the country -- a taxpayer-funded political movement that wants to kill people.

Former Congressman Matt Gaetz recalled that at his first AIPAC event, he and other attendees were given name badges with QR codes so donors could scan them and contribute instantly.

Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area ICE facility and began to pray.

The masked ICE agents on the roof responded by firing pepper balls, with one striking him in the head

So Noem is questioning someone in an ICE vehicle while they're being filmed. This is illegal - right? x.com/nicksortor/s...

Nick Sortor on X: "🚨 WATCH: An illegal captured by ICE BEGS Kristi Noem to let him go That tactic used to work under the Biden regime, but not in the Trump admin! 🤣 “You waited until we detained you, so now you will be REMOVED from this country, and NEVER get the chance to come back.” This is https://t.co/XoasWVRY34" / X

City Attorney Taylor opened with thanking all the people that have contributed to our recent legal wins. I will second all those thank yous, especially to @agdanrayfield.bsky.social and team, and add a thank you for Robert Taylor himself, who's been particularly effective these last few weeks.

Ya, I'm just dying over here. Can't wait to see what ICE uses for their next Tweet!

MAGA influencers and podcasters who are riding around and following Kristi Noem --- are proving with their videos that there's no war zone, fires or rioters in Portland.

Cops misled journalists about using a powerful surveillance tool to track a woman across state lines because she had an abortion, then tried to cover it up when we found out the truth. Huge story from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social this morning: www.404media.co/police-said-...

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime

Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

84YO woman who was peacefully protesting on 10/4 when, in her words, "Feds rushed out in a phalanx and pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile....4 Portland police officers came to her and were very caring." (She wants this shared).

Trump's tweet that Portland is "war ravaged" just backfired. A Trump-picked judge cited it in blocking National Guard deployment to Portland, declaring him "untethered from facts."

On the pod, Oregon AG Dan Rayfield illuminatingly explains the ruling and what's next:

Would you sit down with a Jan. 6 rioter who bragged the Proud Boys were “beating the shit” out of BLM and now sells propaganda for ICE, Miller & Trump. An OR state rep just did that. They think we should sit down with people we disagree with. SMH

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
