ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

This is the second week in a row that Brennan has had what I will call a regime moment and while I see people wondering what pressure she's under I will say that the fact she is still there doing this job should lead people to question whether she's fine with doing this.
BRENNAN: This isn't everything you asked for just yet, but would you acknowledge that they are complying with the spirit if not the intent of your law?

MASSIE: No. They're flouting the spirit and the letter of the law. It's very troubling the posture that they've taken.

Things we learn:

1. Bovino's existence is the result of chain migration, which MAGA wants to ban

2. His family arrived legally under an immigration law MAGA wants to repeal

3. His father killed a woman while driving drunk, a crime for which MAGA aims to deport immigrants

And much more. Read it.

Reminder that the entire Hunter Biden investigation was predicated on sex workers investigation.

Now Gary Shapley, who championed that investigation by badly misrepresenting it, is in a senior IRS position.
The “no tax on tips” rule as part of the Big Beautiful Bill doesn’t apply to pornographic content.

This means when someone with an OnlyFans files their taxes and expects their tips not to be taxed, the IRS needs to watch their content to decide if it’s porn or not. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!
