More than a dozen children were taken out of a Chicago apartment building during a federal immigration raid.

One man said he worried about his 6-year-old nephew, who clung to his legs when agents knocked down the door.

This Thanksgiving we want to make sure you’re ready to answer tough questions from *that* relative.

"Aren’t all politicians corrupt? Is Trump really that much worse?"

Yes, Trump is worse—and it’s not even close. Here’s why. 🧵

The Dallas Express, a right wing "news" website that routinely quotes groups that were secretly funded by the website's publisher Monty Bennett, has been given a White House press pass under the "new media" program that also includes folks like Russian-funded podcaster Tim Pool.

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…
The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

So Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump really just want Mark Kelly to run for POTUS and humiliate JD Vance, right?

Bc that's the only explanation that actually makes sense.

Up to half of Americans have used a Buy Now, Pay Later loan through companies like Afterpay, Klarna, and Affirm.

But Trump's attacks on the CFPB limit our ability to monitor these lenders and protect consumers.

I'm pressing for answers on how these loans impact our economy.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Love how academia is being attacked and reshaped, under the iron fist of the government, with the heavy influence of a guy whose experience in the field is defrauding students with scam for-profit universities.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

"The sanctity of our military"?! WTAF?!

sanc·ti·ty
/ˈsaNG(k)tədē/
noun
The state or quality of being holy, sacred, or saintly.

Our military is *not* a religion nor a manifestation of spirituality.

Last month, Article 3 Project (A3P) founder Mike Davis posted these heinous remarks. I’ve kept my eye on him because he has bragged on X that A3P advises Trump on judicial nominees, because he’s close with Ed Martin, & because “National Conservatism proponent” Josh Hammer is an A3P attorney. 1/

I know people are going to revel in the schadenfreude here, but this is really just an admission—given how close the House is split—that they’re just mad it didn’t work. Fewer than a dozen House GOPers could change America tomorrow. That they’re not proves this is just about losing, not principles.
