He has been accused of “stolen valor,” with former service members saying he didn’t deserve a Bronze Star as he wasn’t even there. He also received a restraining order from an ex-girlfriend for “harassment, threatening to release sexual videos, and to harm future boyfriends.” trib.al/PEPE8s8

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

Tricia McLaughlin, DHS lying-ass propagandist, often points to DUI arrests when claiming ICE is reporting "the worst of the worst."

Turns out this drunk worst of the worst works for ICE.

Is appeasing the escalating and out of control violence of the federal government a compelling local government interest that justifies time, place, and manner restrictions?
New: Broadview, IL Mayor Katrina Thompson issued an executive order today - her first this year - limiting protest outside the Broadview ICE facility to between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

The order cites "recent escalation of violence by ICE" at the facility as reason to restrict protest there.

Important to note ICE tends to drop off detainees before 9 a.m. and after 6 p.m., which is why people were protesting at 5 a.m. to begin with. It's not because waking up at 4 a.m. was a convenient time for protesters!

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents will be on-site at Super Bowl LX, where Bad Bunny is headlining, a Trump adviser said.

Deploying abusive agencies to sporting events, concerts, or other public events is a cruel practice that should end.

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!
Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

New from me: A "heterodox" writer took a week to teach himself immigration law, then reprimanded me for daring to suggest that Trump is violating the due process rights of immigrants.

He's wrong -- about pretty much everything.

Remember that new study?

Yeah we been knowing. 96% of BLM protests were peaceful; same for 99% of the pro-Palestine protests…

And while I saw lots of reports on the study, I can’t say the same for the bigger news:

That Trump scraped the study from all government websites — like it never existed!

When you have an administration that so constantly, shamelessly, openly lies, pretty soon there’s no faith in any information streams coming from the administration, so there’s no way to convey true information in a way that lands right, which leads to more chaos.
