Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.

Holding aside everything—everything—else, the President conducting very sensitive conversations with his Attorney General on an unencrypted social media platform would have been a major scandal any time before 2016. Is he DMing the CIA Director on there? The Secretary of Defense? We don’t know.

WSJ: President Trump believed his Truth Social post demanding prosecutions of James Comey and other political foes was a private message to his attorney general, and "and was surprised to learn it was public."

I would love it if you stopped by the Sioux City Art Center to see my new painting! It’s part of the Local Perspectives exhibition, and you can see it at 225 Nebraska Street, Sioux City, Iowa now until February 8th, 2026.

On Nov. 6 2024 I deactivate and deleted my twitter acc.
I have about 1/2 a dozen browsers I use for various things.
One day I had one open and noticed it had an X acc.
I have been using it to post truths and to show them their hypocrisy. I keep it at 0 followers

• The vast majority of National Guard members have day jobs or are enrolled in school.

• Close to half of them are parents.

• They are being deployed in their own country while the public overwhelmingly opposes it.

• They are not even being paid due to the government shutdown.

Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

This is probably the best time to be in organized crime since before the repeal of prohibition in 1933. I mean if you wanted to commit high level non-immigrant related crime, now is the time to go hog wild.
