He's undoubtedly planning the Mother of all Distractions but can't think of anything to top flying over a city in a crown dropping poo on American citizens.

The same Bill Pulte who keeps insisting he’s found real estate fraud committed by Democrats? Huh.
The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

ICE does love its photo ops.
“We were just immigrants trying to get ahead and celebrating a friend’s birthday.”

New from @francescadnunz.bsky.social: Experts interviewed by the Observer say there's still no concrete evidence the dramatic multi-agency raid on a rented AirBnB had anything to do with preventing gang activity.
Prosecutors Drop Only Criminal Cases from Hays County Airbnb Raid
Pending drug charges have been abandoned from the multi-agency April operation that supposedly targeted Tren de Aragua and led to multiple deportations.

This is Sam Houston's house aka his "executive mansion" when he was the President of the Republic of Texas in 1837. This was taken sometime after that, but this is the house. It was at what's now 405 Main in Houston --- where there's a Subway sandwich shop. Wonder what Sam would say about that?

Texas AG on 10/22: "Attorney General Ken Paxton Arrests 35 Illegal Aliens for Immigration Violations Through Partnership with Trump Administration"

On 11/12: "As these individuals were not arrested by the OAG..."

Well gee, I wonder how people got the wrong impression...

Coming up on #KTLA: Along with 50-year mortgages, the Trump administration reportedly is considering so-called 'portable mortgages' allowing homeowners to take favorable rates to new homes. An industry group for lenders calls this 'a logistical nightmare'

❌ No, a video doesn't authentically show ICE agents arresting and deporting Pizza Hut employees. The video was AI-generated. www.snopes.com/fact-check/p...
Video claiming to show ICE agents deported Pizza Hut employees isn't what it seems

There was no network news correspondent more powerful — and productive — than NBC’s Jim Avila.

And yet, when I got my first big assignment for Nightly News, it was HE who sent me a simple topline: “Go get ‘em.” 🙏🏼

Kids, this is state TV in action:
Fox News' Brian Kilmeade: "The president is talking about doing a tour... about what he's doing to make things affordable... If you do that, they'll pass all the other turmoil. They'll look past all the negative press that pops up on the networks and legacy media. They'll say ok, my life's better."

Typical for KKK.
Pretty much all of his service staff at mar a lago are minimum wage immigrants on h1a visas. They can be deported when fired. They are essentially indentured servants/slaves.

Aside from being sick, they clearly know the dam is about to burst so are now in the position of trying to draw a line between raping teens and molesting children.
(This is why it’s so important to use the correct language: never say “girls” or ”young women” and always say “children.”)
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Let's impeach him again first chance we get.
Revenge prosecutions are about payback, like payback against elected officials who obtained articles of impeachment against you.
Breaking NBC:

Bill Pulte, a top Trump housing official, just referred Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell to the Justice Department for a potential federal criminal probe, based on allegations of mortgage and tax fraud related to a D.C. home.

An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:

ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.
