If Trump is so fixated on protecting Americans against the scourge of drugs, why is he cancelling funding for drug addiction treatment?

I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"

BREAKING: Hundreds of sensitive U.S. records obtained by WIRED undercut the Trump administration’s claims portraying Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua as a unified terrorist force invading the country. Intelligence agencies spent much of 2025 unsure TdA even functioned as an organization on U.S. soil.

Hundreds of records obtained by WIRED show thin intelligence on the Venezuelan gang in the United States, describing fragmented, low-level crime rather than a coordinated terrorist threat.

This is Brenden Cuni of New Rochelle, NY, an ICE agent who was seen earlier brutalizing a pregnant woman in Minneapolis, MN. As reported by I_May_Have_Weed

I hope his family is proud of him.

🚨 Meta has already met 38 times with MEPs from the ECR, the Patriots for Europe, and the Europe of Sovereign Nations Group. In the week of 8 December alone, representatives met with four far-right lawmakers, with the majority of meetings referencing the Digital Omnibus.
Meta, Microsoft and Google are all coordinating with the European far right in order to dismantle EU digital laws designed to protect citizens, according to a new report.

The recent 🇺🇸NSS strategy outlined regime change plans to support the European far right.

A public-private partnership.

Hey y’all!
Trump is lying. He’s not arresting the worst of the worst and deporting them.
Masked men are beating down American citizens. Beating women.

Everyone should be armed. This is the government coming for us.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"

"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.
