SCOOP: ICE Agents Use Secret Rules to Justify Lethal Force
ICE’s "Firearms and Use of Force" policy is almost entirely redacted, leaving the public in the dark about when agents can legally pull the trigger.

Pieced together the surveillance video, including the new angle dropped by CNN (added slow-motion), and the condition of the officer after Renee Good was shot. What do you observe?
Vehicles were able to drive around her with plenty of clearance.

New: Trio of Dem senators urge Apple and Google to enforce their own terms of service and ban X, Grok apps for their flood of nonconsensual sexual imagery.
I've repeatedly asked both Apple and Google about this for three days. They're completely silent, seemingly hoping the question just goes away.

Senators urged Apple and Google to remove X and Grok from app stores over sexual deepfakes
“Turning a blind eye to X’s egregious behavior would make a mockery of your moderation

COLLINS: If Machado gives you her Nobel Peace Prize, will that change your view about her running that country?
TRUMP: Well, I have to speak to her. I think it's very nice she wants to come in, and that's what I understand the reason is. Because Norway is very embarrassed by what took place.

They're looking for a showdown. I fear what lengths they might go to to terrorize Americans in an attempt to stop all resistance.
The AP is reporting that ICE is pulling out of Louisiana and they are all being sent to Minneapolis.
He's doubling down on Minneapolis. This might be the big one.

The things we are defending are so very basic. The old John Locke stuff. Government by consent of the governed. Not voluntarily enslaving ourselves to the whims of armed agents of the state. Which the other side gladly and willingness does, which is why we shall overcome.
When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

So why do you think Trump stopped his meeting with oil company executives, who are seeking both US security guarantees and taxpayer-funded infrastructure subsidies for Venezuelan oil production, to talk to them about his ballroom where the price tag continues to go up for it monthly?
