BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

Pete Hegseth conducted a live fire exercise over I-5 as part of a made-for-Fox stunt for him and Vance which had a misfire that struck a Highway Patrol vehicle and could have killed people?
Who could have foreseen this?

Noel Casler warned everyone repeatedly. He came to Aberdeen in the mid 80’s for 1st attempt to build a golf course & lied to everyone, skipped out on his bills, so was chased down the runway by half a dozen vendors throwing turnips at him. I hope they indict him& his entire shit show of grifters.☠️

The WH is laughing at Republicans in Congress, because they know they’re dog walking them.
Trump’s top advisers joke about ruling Congress w/an “iron fist.” Bannon compared the GOP-controlled House to the Russian Duma, a ceremonial rubber stamp.
They’re Trump’s puppets, and everyone knows it.

WSJ reports that Ghislaine Maxwell is treated like a VIP guest at a five-star resort in her new minimum-security Club Fed prison. She recently received a special visitor, and the entire facility was placed on lock-down while the guest was there so that no one could see who she or he was. Creepy.

I can’t wait for Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem to tell us that this 13 year old boy was a very dangerous member of Tren de Aragua
ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.
