The first time I searched Trump, there were over 900 records found.

I also confirmed there are now 332.

Context:

@brian-goldstone.bsky.social is author of a powerful 2025 book about the human face of "homelessness": 'There is no place for us.'

Hampton Inn (and others) should change their policy.

Everyone should read Brian's book.
A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.

When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.

This is outrageous.

The United States has officially instated a sweeping new travel rule that requires all non-U.S. citizens — including Canadians — to be photographed each time they cross the border.
Oh my Canadian friends…. Please stop coming here until this insanity is over. Don’t come for vacation, groceries, shopping, business, or even a layover in an airport. Most of us love you all dearly. But until we can stop this insanity, we are not a safe place for you to come. It isn’t you. It is 🍊💩

It’s just not enough outrage about what is happening in America. #ICE is the enemy of the people. While many are still thinking it can never happen to them - buckle up.

This is a helluva piece by local news reporters about the nightmare our city endured. Read every word about the violence & overreach, non-stop DHS lies, disgusting ICE/CPB photo ops, horrible impacts on families & communities & how local Chicago residents fought back.

I filmed this FBI raid of an allegedly fraudulent Somali owned business outside of Minneapolis almost two weeks ago. The New York Times and KARE 11 were also there.

Now I have Republicans telling me this has never happened, and Democrats telling me I’m colluding to film a fake raid.

It didn’t make this story, but I interviewed Gov. JB Pritzker who ripped Homeland Security’s Tricia McLaughlin as someone who really is “fine with lying” and mocked Gregory Bovino as someone who “makes himself seem taller in his social media.” They’ve cracked at him for months.

Also, re: FDNY, the chief who announced he was quitting when Mamdani was elected had no experience before Adams appointed him.

Has Mamdani already driven out the least-qualified fire chief in the history of New York?

This Adams crony owns “one of the largest security and janitorial service companies” in Israel; he was never a firefighter or emergency response official…but he liked chasing fire trucks when he was a kid.

It’s incredible how Trump doesn’t even need to pretend like the Kimmel situation is about anything but Trump’s feelings. You’d think he would feel at least a little pressure to pretend like Charlie Kirk was the reason Kimmel got pulled. Trump didn’t bother to mention Kirk in that tweet at all.

Per Paul Vallas' author page on the Chicago Tribune's website, he's written 23 opinion pieces for the Trib just since the start of this year, and 70 since he lost the Chicago mayoral election in April 2023.

lmao at the trib hiding all the comments calling the editorial board racist
Chicago’s mayors have been the subject of Tribune editorials for pretty much this newspaper’s entire 178-year history. But few of the city’s chief executives have made as many appearances on the editorial pages in a single year as Mayor Brandon Johnson.

None of this matches reality. Tariffs are taxes that raise prices on Americans. The trade deficit wasn’t cut by 60%. GDP isn’t 4.3% “and rising.” Inflation still exists. The world is calling us fascists. Repeating slogans doesn’t change the data.

F-wit bombed parts of Nigeria claiming the strikes were meant to protect Christians from ISIS. But local residents in the affected villages say there’s no history of ISIS activity there & report that Christians & Muslims have lived peacefully together. The airstrikes instead caused fear among them.
