Furloughed Department of Education workers’ out-of-office emails were changed to blame Democrats for the shutdown without their permission.

Why is Trump resorting to such desperate, and likely illegal, tactics?

Because he knows that he’s the one to blame for this shutdown.

I want to see ICE go up against someone that can actually fight back.

Not a 90-year-old man or pregnant woman. Or five and six year old children.

Let them fight someone that has been trained to fight and then watch them piss themselves and run away and hide.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Obviously not the main point here, but it's interesting how this is framed as content rather than policy.

"BREAKING" is typically what journalists or influencers say when they have a big story -- not what government officials say when they launch "undercover" operations

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.
