Trump said he would arrest the worst of the worst not hire them to do his dirty work
Kirakosian: We have this Border Patrol agent and he’s literally in his pajamas… he takes it upon himself to march down the street to confront these kids. And then he confronts our client and he points his loaded firearm directly at the 17-year-old…

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

I was offended that the DOJ lawyer kept saying the Oval Office belonged to Trump, that it is his private space.
Months after the Trump administration booted the Associated Press from White House events because it refused to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, the AP asked judges to permanently find that its First Amendment rights were violated.
In Gulf of America case, AP renews legal fight to end White House ban
The Associated Press, which sued the government after being barred from covering White House events, presented its case to a circuit court panel.

Kristi Noem and Kash Patel were out last night enjoying the Las Vegas F1 race at taxpayers’ expense. This is exactly the kind of fraud, waste, and abuse that deserves a full investigation.

Q: Just days ago you referred to Trump as a 'despot.' Will you retract?
MAMDANI: We're both very clear on our positions & what I really appreciate about the president is our meeting focused not on places of disagreement but shared purpose we have
TRUMP: I've been called much worse than a despot

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

![II. Credibility
The Court next addresses the credibility of the parties’ evidence and witnesses. After reviewing all the evidence submitted to the Court and listening to the testimony elicited at the preliminary injunction hearing, during depositions, and in other court proceedings, the Court finds Defendants’ evidence simply not credible. [FN 6]
Plaintiffs submitted a mountain of evidence, providing the Court with over eighty declarations, numerous videos and articles, and other evidence. Defendants did not rebut anything that Plaintiffs set forth in their declarations or testimony, even with BWC footage.
[FN 6] In another case considering some of the same evidence presented to this Court, another court in this district also found that the perceptions of certain of Defendants’ declarants, such as Hott and Parra, were not reliable. See Illinois v. Trump, No. 25-cv-12174, 2025 WL 2886645, at *5 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 10, 2025) (noting a “troubling trend of Defendants’ declarants equating protests with riots and a lack of appreciation for the wide spectrum that exists between citizens who are observing, questioning, and criticizing their government, and those who are obstructing, assaulting, or doing violence”), motion to stay denied in part, 155 F.4th 929 (7th Cir. 2025).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifpyry2il5toxbr3iejgrsxs6kmnwve75qwnhebfp44ieyjrfpsdu@jpeg)

The Trump administration is STILL trying to punish Abrego Garcia for not just accepting his illegal deportation to the CECOT prison. They won't send him to Costa Rica, they want to send him to Africa. Why? Purely because they are terrible sadistic people.

They can't release the files that involve people under investigation, i.e., the Democrats in the Epstein Files. So no reason not to release the files that concern Trump and any Republicans!

Trump tells the GOP to vote to release the files, and he’ll give them whatever they’re “legally entitled to.” How long before he tells everyone they’re legally entitled to nothing because of the open and ongoing “investigation” he opened into a “hoax”?
