In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

News cycles move fast, but it’s sometimes worth slowing down to reckon with what this government is doing. In service of its racial project, it is willing to beat, kill, and subordinate anyone it deems a threat. This is a violent white nationalist project.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

The explosion in McEwen wasn’t just a tragedy—it was a heartbreak for an entire community. Parents and siblings went to work and never came home. Tennessee families deserve safety, dignity, and accountability. A job should never cost you your life.

DC politicians like John Cornyn promised to lower costs, fight for families, and drain the swamp.
Now they’re trying to gut healthcare for millions to cut taxes for their donors — even shutting down the government to do it.

All kidding about this nonsense answer aside: The regime is asserting the power to murder without trial a boat full of people suspected of drug trafficking, who easily could have been intercepted and arrested instead. That is unconscionable and horrifying even assuming everyone aboard was guilty.
Q: On the Venezuela vessel strike, what legal authority were you guys working under?
