I took infant CPR training yesterday where we pictured a lot of horrible situations but none of them were this bad
"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car"
"His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

It appears JD Vance has concluded that the best way to get elected president in 2028 is to become an amalgamation of Jack Posobiec and Catturd.

I was 16 working as an evening “turn-down” maid at the Hotel Utah -the kind that put mints on your pillow, turned down the bedspread, and emptied the ashtrays- when I walked in on Bob Hope in a towel, fresh out of the shower.
As a cashier when I was ~15 I was in the grocery store when Meatloaf checked out with an entire grocery cart full of frozen Stouffers meals.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Meanwhile Ron Johnson today saying immigrants are poor and stay poor so they live on govt handouts. I realize they want you to square it by imagining the govt hands free single family houses to illegal migrants but of course that's bullshit
Turner: "When you look at Biden administration & the weak immigration policies, tens of millions of illegal immigrants came across unchecked & that caused housing supply to go down & costs to go up. With secure borders & our fiscal house getting in order, this is a step toward housing affordability"

All of the people in this photo descend from America's 2nd Vice President and 3rd President, Thomas Jefferson. Would JD consider these people white? If not, why not? They're all "heritage Americans" in that they descend from a founder, yes?

It's wild but not surprising that last week the White House was leaning into "these seditious Democrats dared suggest that troops were receiving illegal orders!!!" and this week they are scrambling to figure out who to blame for issuing illegal orders.

Thank you for this excellent reporting. Please use your broad audience to educate on Kushner’s role in crafting this deal, which is just breaking. This seems a huge, unsurprising but underreported factor which points directly to likely Trump family enrichment through it. 1/
