🔥POWERFUL AD ABOUT ICE AGENTS: “What will you say when your kids ask you about your day? A mask can’t hide you from your neighbors, your family, God… you can walk away, but the shame will follow you home.”

‼️👀 Trump yells ❝SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!❞, boosts ❝Hang them❞ posts about Dem lawmakers, then claims he’s ❝not threatening death❞ even as threats and bomb scares spike around his targets. Same old pattern: light the fuse, deny you touched the match.
𝕿 𝖗𝖚𝖒𝖕’s outburst started when six Democratic lawmakers with military/intel backgrounds posted a video reminding troops they must refuse illegal orders; he blasted them on Truth Social as guilty of ❝SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!❞ and reposted a ❝Hang them❞ meme, then later told Brian Kilmeade he wasn’t really threatening them, just noting that ❝in the old days❞ they’d be executed for such behaviour. The lawmakers immediately reported a surge in threats and at least one bomb threat, while Trump’s allies insisted his comments were just legal analysis and that Democrats are the ones ❝playing with fire❞ by urging disobedience of unlawful orders. ❝SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!❞ Trump, on Truth Social, reacting to the Democrats’ video urging troops to refuse illegal orders. ❝I’m not threatening death, but I think they’re in serious trouble. In the old days, it was death. That was seditious behaviour.❞ Trump on Kilmeade’s radio show, trying to reframe his earlier post while doubling down on the ❝death❞ talk. ❝If the president is saying you should be hanged, then we shouldn’t be surprised when folks on the ground are going to follow suit and say even worse.❞ Sen. Elissa Slotkin, after being put on 24/7 security following Trump’s posts. ❝Trump’s Truth Social posts threatening to execute Democratic Members of Congress speak for themselves.❞ Rep. Jason Crow, saying he won’t be intimidated even as threats against him rise. ❝Clearly the president knew exactly what he was doing, trying to turn his online digital mob against these members of Congress.❞ Sen. Ruben Gallego, arguing that Trump was siccing his base on the lawmakers for telling troops to obey the law.

🤔 UBS says Trump’s tariff regime now mimics a 1.2%-of-GDP tax, pushing inflation higher and wiping out wage gains, even as the White House touts a $2,000 ❝tariff dividend❞ many economists say doesn’t pencil out.
UBS economists argue Trump’s tariff regime functions as a large, stealth tax increase that is propping up inflation, eroding real income gains, and leaving big swaths of the U.S. economy effectively in recession while the White House dangles an implausible $2,000 ❝tariff dividend.❞ ❝The tariffs are a big tax increase.❞ Nick Lichtenberg — ❝❛The tariffs are a big tax increase❜: Top bank crunches the numbers on how much Americans are paying for Trump’s trade regime❞ — Fortune — Wed. 12-Nov-2025 According to UBS, the current trade policies imply ❝a weighted-average tariff rate of 13.6%,❞ a fivefold jump from 2.5% at the start of the year, ❝effectively a tax on imports representing 1.2% of GDP.❞ Nick Lichtenberg — ibid UBS estimates the new trade regime will add about 0.8 percentage points to core PCE inflation in 2026 and up to 1.9 points through 2028 once knock-on effects are included, ❝enough to erase a year’s worth of disinflation progress.❞ Nick Lichtenberg — ibid The expansion is ❝narrowly driven❞ and ❝precarious,❞ described as ❝a big bet on AI❞ in which ❝a decent chunk of the U.S. economy is in recession,❞ including real residential investment and non-residential construction. Nick Lichtenberg — ibid Trump has pitched a ❝tariff dividend❞ of ❝at least $2,000 a person,❞ but UBS and budget analysts note that fiscal 2025 tariff revenue — $195 billion — falls far short of the roughly $600 billion needed to cut such checks nationwide.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

{𝗮𝙅𝙎𝘿} A president used emergency powers to slap sweeping tariffs on nearly everything. The split on the right is now so deep that a Reagan-era conservative —𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒗𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒎𝒑 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆— is fronting the Supreme Court fight to stop him. Executive overreach hits wallets and the separation of powers. ⚖️💸🔥
A conservative public-interest firm that helped gut union fees is now leading the Supreme Court challenge to Trump’s IEEPA-based tariffs, with an ideologically mixed legal team and small-business plaintiffs — framing it as a test of presidential power versus Congress and the cost borne by consumers and firms. ❝It’s about the presidency, not about the president, and it’s about the Constitution.❞ Sara Albrecht, president, Liberty Justice Center, in Ann E.

#Trump may have immunity from the Supreme Court, but nobody else does — something #ICE agents would do well to remember.
For anyone saying that the ICE agents are just doing their jobs, so were the German soldiers loading Jewish people onto trains.

{𝗮𝙅𝙎𝘿} ⚠️🔥 Trump is openly circling Venezuela with bombers, Marines, a carrier group — calls it ❝stopping drugs❞ and ❝sending their convicts here.❞ WaPo’s Max Boot says this is the old U.S. regime-change playbook: Florida man cosplay of the CIA vs. Maduro. Latin America has seen this movie. ⚠️🔥
The White House isn’t just ❝getting tough on drugs.❞ It’s moving an amphibious assault ship full of Marines, destroyers, subs, F-35s, and long-range bombers right up on Venezuela — and Trump bragged he greenlit CIA ops against Nicolás Maduro. The sales pitch is ❝they’re sending us drugs and criminals.❞ Even conservative lawyers are saying the boat strikes look illegal, and reporting says Venezuela isn’t even a primary cocaine source. The ❝they dumped their prisons in America❞ line? Zero credible proof. Max Boot’s warning is simple: we’ve done this before. Early 1900s Haiti / DR / Nicaragua, 1954 Guatemala, Bay of Pigs in Cuba, Reagan in Grenada, Bush in Panama. We called it liberation. We left behind coups, juntas, civil wars, and a hemisphere that still calls Washington ❝the Colossus of the North.❞ Boot points out the hypocrisy: Trump claims this is about freedom — while he’s purging U.S. prosecutors, threatening democracy at home, calling Colombia’s president a ❝lunatic,❞ slapping Brazil with 50% tariffs to protect Jair Bolsonaro, and letting Chevron pump Venezuelan oil when it suits him. His bottom line: Forcing regime change from outside is how you breed anti-U.S. rage for generations. If you actually want Maduro gone, you back Venezuela’s internal democratic opposition and stop playing 1980s covert-war cosplay for TV. ❝Trump … confirmed that he had authorized the CIA to launch another covert action against Maduro … It isn’t clear whether the presidential finding authorizes the CIA to overthrow Maduro, but simply making the directive public will turn up ❛the heat.❜❞ Max Boot, Washington Post opinion column, Mon. 27-Oct-2025 ❝Also turning up the heat is the presence of a massive U.S. armada in the Caribbean … an amphibious assault ship loaded with Marines … destroyers … a nuclear-powered attack submarine … and 10 F-35 fighter jets. B-1 and B-52 bombers have flown near Venezuela, and now an aircraft carrier battle group is headed to the region.❞ Max Boot, Washington Post opinion column, Mon. 27-Oct-2025; Pentagon flight reporting in recent days ❝They have emptied their prisons into the United States … and the other thing, the drugs.❞ — Trump’s justification. Cited in Max Boot, Washington Post, Mon. 27-Oct-2025. Independent reporting notes Venezuela is not a primary cocaine pipeline and there’s no evidence of a ❛prison dump.❜ ❝Trump … imposed 50 percent tariffs on Brazil … in a failed attempt to stop the trial of former president Jair Bolsonaro on coup charges … [and] threatened to cut off all U.S. aid to Colombia after its leftist president criticized his strikes.❞ Max Boot, Washington Post, Mon. 27-Oct-2025; Reuters/WSJ reporting on Brazil and Colombia in Oct. 2025 ❝Trying to foment regime change by military force or covert action is likely to backfire … If history is any guide, lasting regime change must come from within.❞ Max Boot, Washington Post, Mon. 27-Oct-2025
