This is Trump’s masked ICE agent, who shot the woman in Minneapolis, fleeing from the scene about 90 seconds after the shooting.

You can hear a witness yelling, “Don’t let the murderer leave.”

Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:

Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

Trump's HHS has banned nearly 200 words for Head Start programs—like “‘disability,’ ‘women,’ ‘Tribal,’” and more—forcing programs to choose between complying with the law or bending to Trump's unlawful DEI ban to keep funding. 

This is outrageous. I'm demanding answers.

Stunning admission from Trump in his Politico interview. He confesses he knows almost nothing about the drug trafficking of the guy he pardoned even though he helped bring 500 tons of cocaine into US. Trump also reveals his narcissism makes him easy to manipulate:
