The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.

American citizens are being detained & brutalized.

This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

Immigration agents become increasingly aggressive in Chicago

Activists, residents and elected leaders say increasingly combative tactics used by federal immigration agents are sparking violence and fueling neighborhood tensions in the nation’s third-largest cit...

WHOA.

Tom Homan was being investigated for accepting a $50K bribe from undercover agents before Trump and Pam Bondi shut it down.

The $$$ was in exchange for access to government contracts in Trump’s 2nd term.

HUGE scoop.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

Jack Smith wasn’t the special counsel when the FBI obtained a court order to search Mar-a-lago for classified documents.

He was in the Netherlands working at the ICC.

DID YOU KNOW THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THINKS IT CAN UNILATERALLY CHANGE LAWS TO BENEFIT THEM?

OMB changed the wording of the Law where Furloughed Federal Employees are guaranteed back pay, to reflect they are not.

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance

An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

Would you have sex with Pam Bondi?

Bondi badly needs to get laid but there’s a rather short line of guys wanting to have sex with a kind of living corpse.

If you answered YES, please submit your twisted story to AMC+ for Shudder series consideration.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?
