A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.
Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Trump DOJ official, Emil Bove, told colleagues to “fuck” the courts, says a whistleblower. Now Trump wants to make Bove a federal judge.
Erez Reuveni’s whistleblower disclosure alleges Emil Bove’s involvement in a campaign to defy federal court orders and lie to the court. The Senate must oppose Bove's nomination to a lifetime appointment to the Third Circuit.

And someone should write a book!
I can’t believe the media covered up the fact that a clear mental incompetent was running the government while out of his mind on drugs, despite it being widely known in DC circles, to preserve their access to the White House. There should be huge recriminations for this.
