🚨BREAKING: MAGA is outraged over an episode of “The Pitt”… claiming it “demonizes” ICE agents. Meanwhile… here in real life… A sitting Chicago elected official, Jessie Fuentes, walks into a hospital, sees Border Patrol detaining an injured man, and does something pretty radical… she asks a simple question: “Do you have a warrant?” That’s it. That’s the “crime.” Because seconds later, she’s grabbed, shoved, and put in handcuffs… inside a hospital… for asking if the Constitution still exists. Agents were holding a man in a hospital bed, trying to arrest him, when his leg was broken, needed surgery, and was still being detained by agents, while lawyers initially couldn’t reach him. An elected official asked for a judicial warrant, and instead of producing one, they arrested her. They didn’t explain the law she broke… because there wasn’t one. And MAGA is watching a scripted TV episode, calling that “unfair” to ICE? Be serious. The show isn’t “demonizing” ICE, it’s depicting what people are literally recording on their phones. They’re not mad because it’s inaccurate… they’re mad because it’s recognizable. Because once you see it, you can’t unsee it… and suddenly “it’s just a TV show” doesn’t hold up when reality looks exactly the same.

The world energy shock is coming — it will deepen inequality in ways we've seen before. Our new @newstatesman piece argues that without urgent government action, the Strait of Hormuz crisis will ripple through our economies and rip apart our societies. Here's why. 1/

BREAKING: HOLY SMOKES! Bombshell report accuses Trump and Rubio of "the largest fraud in the history of the U.S. immigration system" amounting to over $1.3 billion stolen from migrants. And the details will absolutely enrage you... According to the Cato Institute, a right-wing think tank, Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and outgoing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem extracted at least $1.3 billion from migrants in fees for visa processing and other immigration services that they never intended to provide. They took the money, then took no steps to hold up their end of the agreement. The administration is taking money from immigrant hopefuls from over 90 countries despite the fact that Trump's own xenophobic travel bans have made it so that those same people are "banned from receiving immigrant visas and immigrating permanently to the United States." Trump is having it both ways: taking the money he would get for allowing immigration while simultaneously blocking that immigration. "During testimony before the US Senate, I called it the largest fraud in the history of the US immigration system. In fact, it is likely the first $1 billion fraud—a theft of processing fees for services never rendered," wrote David J. Bier for Cato. But the corruption goes so much deeper... Rubio's State Department has issued internal rules that prohibit his staff from informing the migrants in question that they have no chance of success and their money is essentially being stolen. It's a systemic graft operation. “Cubans represent the largest group of affected applicants with nearly a million affected applications at a combined cost of $543 million. The second most common was Venezuelans, with 239,000 applications at a cost of $138 million,” Cato reports. Cato estimates that over 2 million immigrant applicants were affected by the travel bans and had their money taken when there no intention on the part of the administration of rendering the services in question. "The fees came primarily from applications for work permits and filings to adjust status to permanent residence or immigrant visas—the two ways in which people receive green cards to stay permanently in the United States," writes Bier. Congress must immediately investigate this blatant, rampant fraud and begin the long, difficult process of ensuring that every single victim is paid back with interest. These people came looking for a better life in the United States and were instead fleeced for what little money they had. This is a kind of cruelty and greed that could only exist with Donald Trump as president. Please ❤️ and share to demand full refunds!

@nicksortor Would love to see him comment on this

@ClaudetteGGibs1 Christian values

Surprise me.

@SenateGOP That is not how it works and you know it.

In 19 states, illegal aliens can obtain a driver’s license without proof of citizenship.    In many of these states, this triggers automatic voter registration, throwing the door wide open for illegal aliens to vote.    The SAVE America Act puts an end to this.

@nicksortor @Thefactsdude That's a bold faced lie. Illegal immigrants have been a net positive impact on the economy by tens of billions of dollars every year.

@Thefactsdude That’s a lot of the argument behind mass deportations. We’d save billions upon billions per year if we just sent them back proactively. COUNTLESS billions

🚨 BREAKING: The House of Representatives has just PASSED a bill requiring AUTOMATIC deportation of illegals who commit welfare fraud, 231-186 🔥 This is a NO BRAINER! But of course, 186 Democrats voted AGAINST this. REMINDER: Democrats are NOT ON THE SIDE of Americans. The fraud encompassed in this bill includes: - Social Security fraud, - SNAP (food assistance) fraud, - Mail fraud, - Conspiracy to defraud the U.S., - Theft or bribery involving federal funds, - Identification document fraud, - And other similar crimes involving government funds or public benefits.

@nicksortor If they are deported, how do we get the money back? How are they held accountable?

@Bubblebathgirl If you deport them, how do we get the money back?

186 Democrats voted to keep foreign fraudsters in the US

This is Cherise Doyley. She was 12 hours into labor when a nurse told her to cover up with a bedsheet. Then a tablet appeared at her bedside. On the screen: a judge. Lawyers. Hospital staff. She hadn’t asked for a hearing. The hospital had. Doyley is a professional birthing doula. She refused a C-section — she’d had three before, and one left her hemorrhaging. She knew the risks. It didn’t matter. And here’s the part people should pay attention to. The state filed an emergency petition. She had minutes to prepare. No lawyer. No advocate. A three-hour hearing. In the middle of active labor. A judge decided how she would give birth. This is the fetal personhood movement, fully realized. And it’s already happening. To Black women. In Florida. Read the full @ProPublica investigation. “A judge decided how she would give birth. That’s legal right now. Should it be? #ReproductiveRights #DemsUnited

@eyojoel77 One could argue it's better than being there because someone *didn't* love you

Ending up in therapy because you loved someone is crazy.

🚨 Two MAJOR bombshells in 30 minutes. CBS News: The Trump administration concealed the true extent of Iran’s strike on a US base in Kuwait. Dozens of service members suffered severe injuries. 30 remain hospitalized right now. They hid it. The New York Times: A US military investigation has concluded the United States was responsible for the strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab, Iran. 165 girls. Ages 7 to 12. Trump said the Tomahawk was “very generic.” Trump said Iran bombed its own school. Trump said he’s “willing to live with” whatever the report shows. The report shows it was us. And while Trump was lying about dead children, his administration was hiding dozens of wounded American service members from their own families and the American public. Concealing American casualties. Lying about dead Iranian children. Blocking terror warnings to law enforcement. Sealing the Epstein files. This is a pattern.

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷 The New York Times confirmed it. In the Oval Office last week, a frustrated Donald Trump pressed General Dan Caine Chairman of the Joint Chiefs — demanding to know why the United States cannot immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The answer was simple. They can’t. The Wall Street Journal had already reported Trump ignored Caine’s warnings before the war about exactly this. Karoline Leavitt called it “PREPOSTEROUS.” Senator Chris Murphy walked out of a classified briefing and said simply: “They had NO PLAN.” So here is the sequence. Netanyahu orders his apprentice to launch the war. MBS makes the phone calls. Trump launches it on their behalf with America’s military, America’s money and America’s soldiers. Caine warns him about the strait. He ignores it. The strait closes. He begs Russia and China (China gets 6.6% of its energy through Hormuz but is still getting their ships through) and is now threatening to delay his Beijing summit over it. He begs France, Japan, South Korea, the UK. Nobody comes. He goes on Israeli television to say it’s not America’s problem. While he sits in the Oval Office shouting at his own general asking why he can’t fix the thing he was warned not to break. This is the Epstein coalition’s war of choice. And it’s going brilliantly.

@RonFilipkowski Wrestling a Twinkie? People, this is called dynamic inactivity. They fire actual scientists, doctors, and public health experts and hired social media content creators. They have done this across all agencies. Trump drained the swamp and filled it with shit.

@RonFilipkowski In DJT's administration, everyone's 12.

@PpollingNumbers LMAO 0.2% isn't the flex you think it is.

New - 60 weeks into the second approval average 🔴 Trump 42.9% 🔵 Obama 42.7% 🔴 Bush 38% RCP

@DHSgov @TSA Pretty sure they don't have a choice unless they quit...

It’s time for Democrats to end their DHS shutdown and pay our @TSA agents.

Ted Cruz was booed off stage by Christians His response: “If you will not stand with Israel, then I will not stand with you.” A US senator just publicly pledged allegiance to a foreign country over his own constituents. Clear and loud x.com/allenanalysis/…
