A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

Trump does not need you to believe that Renee Nicole Good rammed an ICE agent with her car and sent him to the hospital

What they want you to believe—what they NEED you to believe—is that if you don’t behave the way they want you to behave, they will fucking kill you

Who honestly supports this shit?

They gave this woman about 8 conflicting commands, broke her window and drug her out of her car.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

New in PN: Trump's plot to intimidate the Fed backfires bigly

"His thuggish DOJ may have actually made it harder for the White House to exert control over the central bank. Remember back in 2017 when Trump’s supporters said he was playing 10-dimensional chess?"

January 2020. Kelly was at her quality of life vet appointment, where she was diagnosed as "Old, fat, happy."

She died just a few weeks later, but she was truly so happy.

“I did something so stupid and irresponsible that it would destroy our country to remedy.”

That’s the argument the President is making regarding why the federal government should get to profit off of an illegal tax.

I completely agree with … {checks notes, checks them a second time, and then blinks several times} … Joe Rogan?
Rogan: "Its very ugly to watch someone shoot a U.S. citizen, especially a woman, in the face…It just looked horrific to me. When people say it's justifiable because the car hit it, it seemed like she was turning the car away."

It's been well over three weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

You’ll notice that the American state media have completely ignored the fact that bribe for hire Pam Bondi hasn’t released a single Epstein file in 2026. They have deliberately and continuously failed humanity.
