ICE blasts through door using explosives, armored vehicle & drone—all 3 people in house were U.S. citizens.

Agents did not knock or give warning—immediately set off explosives & flew in a drone.

Then at least 10 agents who were crouched behind an armored vehicle stormed the house.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.

What the actual fuck! Trump's ICE Gestapo hangs out in strip malls and then pounces on American citizens for the crime of having brown skin. These fucking Nazis drive around in unmarked vehicles and like fascist cowards, hide their faces behind masks. 😡👇

Trump’s back on it about firing Fed chair Powell and again seems to think the central bank’s job is managing government borrowing costs.

I suspect that like many things with this admin, this is a way to seed a narrative and they may not even see it all the way through (how can they with sloppiness like the below?). But it’s enough for Fox, and even if they later drop it they can deport him again through regular removal proceedings

Trump slashes funding for FEMA and other natural disaster relief programs just in time for things like hurricane season.

Trump wants all Americans to suffer, regardless of party affiliation. Why? Because he doesn’t care about you.

To pressure Russia to end the war in Ukraine, the Trump administration should heed the lessons of Obama’s experience negotiating with Iran—and “work with hawks on Capitol Hill rather than oppose them,” argues Edward Fishman.
