ICE Melts Under Noem’s Shadow
ICE isn’t just losing support; it’s imploding under its own cruelty, incompetence, and Kristi Noem’s vanishing act, leaving America questioning who the real threat is.

A federal judge ruled that the DOJ unlawfully accessed evidence central to its case against former FBI director James Comey, delivering what could be a death blow to President Trump’s efforts to reindict one of his most prominent perceived rivals.
Judge’s ruling could doom Trump’s bid to prosecute Comey
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ordered the FBI to return emails and other electronic communications it seized from Comey confidant Daniel Richman.

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.
No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's blowing up the economy. He hasn't done squat to help the working class. The Epstein scandal haunts him.

The racism here is on steroids, as Trump tried to make case to MAGA that farmers need exemptions.
Says brown people do hard labor "naturally" and don't get bad back, while also saying they've tried to replace them with people "in the inner city" but they can't get them to do the work.

Trump on undocumented farm workers: "People that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They've tried, we've tried, everybody tried. They don't do it. These people do it naturally. Naturally ... they don't get a bad back, because if they get a bad back, they die."
