This is what local accountability looks like: In Festus, Missouri, a town of about 14,000 people, the city council quietly approved a $6 billion Ai data center to be built on 360 acres just north of Highway 67. Residents say they were never properly heard. Meetings were held in private. Documents were released too late. A week after the approval, the town held a regular election. Voter turnout jumped 129 percent. Every single council member who had voted yes lost in a landslide. A 70-year-old first-time candidate beat an 8-year incumbent by 40 percentage points. Now a recall petition is circulating to remove the mayor as well. The lawsuit against the city is already filed. Has your local government ever been held accountable like this? 🔥

BREAKING: FBI insiders say Kash Patel is FAKING his crime stats — and the numbers prove it. Kash Patel walked into a Senate hearing on Tuesday, waving a giant black placard of arrest numbers like a used car salesman flashing a sticker price. Current and former FBI agents say those numbers are as real as a three-dollar bill. According to a bombshell report from MS Now, backed by half a dozen law enforcement sources, Patel quietly changed FBI counting rules to inflate arrest statistics. Under the new policy, if an FBI agent is simply present while ICE or local police make an arrest, it gets counted as an FBI arrest. That's how Patel got to claim 45,000 violent offenders arrested — double the previous year. He didn't catch more criminals. He just changed the math. "They are absolutely padding the stats," one current FBI official told MS Now. "Comparing 2025 to 2024 is not apples to apples." The Most Wanted list manipulation is even more brazen. Patel boasted about capturing 8 of the top 10 most wanted fugitives in 14 months. What he didn't mention is that several of those fugitives were added to the list hours before their arrests — including one captured just 73 minutes after being added. The FBI had been planning those operations for days in advance. The last-minute additions were pure theater, engineered to juice Patel's scorecard. Meanwhile, the real numbers tell a different story. Under Patel's "record" leadership, the FBI has lost 2,800 agents in a single year — four times the normal attrition rate. Yet, Patel told senators that morale at the bureau has "never been better," to their visible disbelief. When senators tried pressing Patel on his branded bourbon giveaways, his government jet joyrides to VIP events, his taxpayer-funded security detail for his girlfriend, and his retaliatory polygraphing of dozens of agents, he waved his placard and called everything "baseless." Sen. Patty Murray had the perfect response: "If you want to pass out liquor or pop bottles in a locker room, stick to podcasting." This is Trump's FBI — fake stats, real dysfunction, and a director more focused on his personal brand than public safety. Please like and share this everywhere to spread the news!

A 10-year-old wrote MAGA Congresswoman Virginia Foxx for a school project. He chose to write about an electric vehicle tax credit. Something he thought was good for the environment. Virginia responded by attacking him and his teacher for being propagandized. Her words: “your teacher will not be able to give you a good education as they are too interested in indoctrinating you... How sad.” An 80-year-old woman. Attacking a 10-year-old. For doing his homework. These people have power over your life.

🚨 BREAKING: Epstein survivors just broke down in tears at the hearing. My name, phone number, address, workplace... everything released. I woke up to it mentioned 500+ times. The Trump regime dropped their info while shielding the clients. MAKE THIS GO VIRAL! Demand JUSTICE!

🔥MUST-WATCH: “You’re all cowards. I do not forgive you. Thank you for teaching me no one will stand up for me besides myself.” The 🦸🏻‍♀️student Keith Ervin called “hot” shows the WASHINGTON COUNTY school board 🐔 what real leadership looks like. emails: wcde.org/page/school-bo…

The coverup is absolute. US Representative Ed Case exposes how the Trump administration is desperately hiding the massive destruction of US military bases. Pentagon CFO Jay Hurst is forced to admit they have absolutely no idea how to rebuild the devastated infrastructure.

🤣😂🤣🤦‍♂️

Alexis Goldstein was a program manager at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — the agency that has returned $21 billion to consumers since 2011. On February 7th, 2025, she wheeled her empty stroller into the CFPB basement and found people with no badges accessing government computers. She filmed them, they called security on her. She was put on administrative leave for a year. The inspector general found no wrongdoing. She was fired anyway. Now she's running for Congress. But here's the thing nobody's talking about: Alexis was investigating Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Cash App trade secrets when DOGE arrived. Elon Musk wrote "delete CFPB" — then launched X Money, his own competing payments platform. Musk didn't just gut consumer protection. He may have walked out with the files. youtu.be/WF3ovl-Quuw

Trump’s sons just signed a weapons deal with the Air Force during a war Congress never authorized. Amazon paid $40 million for a Melania documentary, then won a $581 million no-bid Pentagon contract. The corruption is not hidden anymore. It is the business model. November cannot come fast enough.

Republican Congressman Thomas Massie reveals what many suspected: Trump vetoed a bipartisan clean drinking water project in Rep. Lauren Boebert’s district after she backed a petition to release the Epstein files. After the veto back in December, Boebert strongly criticized Trump, saying: “I sincerely hope this veto has nothing to do with political retaliation for calling out corruption and demanding accountability.” “Nothing says ‘America First’ like denying clean drinking water to 50,000 people in Southeast Colorado.” In any normal country, a president who did something like this would be forced to resign. We cannot normalize this corruption. Impeach!

Update—ICE confirms they unlawfully detained 19 year old U.S. citizen. Agents gave him a concussion—he needed 7 stitches to stop the bleeding in his head. Dropped him off miles from his home—in a part of New York he did not know. Lead agent shrugged saying it was a "mix-up."

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents in New York illegally surrounded two cars and demanded the people inside prove their citizenship. Community members showed up and immediately started asking the questions ICE never wants asked on camera: “Do you have a warrant?” The agents claimed they did. But when people asked to actually SEE the warrant… they refused. Because they didn’t have one. That’s the constitutional violation right there. In the United States, federal agents cannot legally detain people, block their vehicles in, and demand proof of citizenship without lawful justification. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures. You don’t lose those rights because ICE decides to profile you. And unless agents have a judicial warrant signed by a judge, or actual legal probable cause tied to a crime, they cannot just trap people in their cars fishing for immigration status. ICE keeps counting on intimidation instead of law. They surround cars with multiple agents, act aggressive, throw around words like “warrant,” and hope people are too scared to question them. But the second community members demanded proof, the whole thing fell apart. Both cars were eventually released… because ICE never had the legal right to stop them in the first place. This is exactly why people recording matters. This is exactly why communities showing up matters. And this is exactly why constitutional rights matter… especially when federal agents are acting like they don’t apply to them anymore.

Pete Hegseth told the House Armed Services Committee that in 2024, Joe Biden deployed troops to polling locations in 15 states. He repeated the same claim to the Senate Armed Services Committee the next day. Daniel Dale contacted every state on the Stars and Stripes list of states that activated National Guard personnel for the 2024 election. Twelve responded. Every single one said no troops were deployed to polling locations. Iowa: "We have never gone to a polling station as part of an election." Their personnel were in a basement at the state emergency operations center. Arizona: Two personnel were on standby for potential cyber incidents. No incidents occurred. No polling location presence. Oregon: Noted, for good measure, that it has been a 100% vote-by-mail state for over two decades. "There are no polling locations." The remaining three states that didn't respond - Alabama, Tennessee, and Wisconsin - produced no evidence of polling location deployment either. The Defense Department received CNN's requests for comment and did not respond. This is not a disputed interpretation of ambiguous facts. Hegseth made a specific, verifiable claim - "15 states, polling locations, Biden" - in sworn congressional testimony, twice. CNN contacted the 15 states. The states said no. The Defense Department said nothing. The claim is documented false.

ICE deny man heart medication in custody—has to be rushed to hospital for emergency open heart surgery. Family unable to find out where he was for 3 weeks—then only allowed 1 call every 7 days. Man entered U.S. legally in 2015—and ICE still hasn't even said why he was detained during his regular check-in appointment. Isidro Rodríguez was "cut open from bottom to top" for emergency surgery—and is struggling to learn to walk again. His family does not understand why ICE will not release their father—who has legal status—back home for proper medical care.

DEVELOPING: DOJ is investigating $2.6B in suspiciously timed oil trades made right before Trump's Iran decisions. The corruption is finally catching up to them. Please like and share to get the word out!

The DOJ published a study showing right-wing extremism has killed 520 Americans since 1990 compared to 78 from the left. Two days after Charlie Kirk was killed, they deleted it. Today the administration released a counterterrorism strategy focused almost entirely on left-wing groups. Those facts belong in the same sentence. Full piece on Substack - link in bio.

NEW: Trump-endorsed Rep. Max Miller is accused of physically abusing his ex-wife, GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno's daughter, including allegedly hurling boiling water at her with their 8-month-old present. @Daily_MailUS has the photos. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

When Neil Gorsuch tried for 2 years to sell his $1.8M property with no luck, but only 9 days after getting confirmed to the Supreme Court, sold it to a lawyer with multiple cases before SCOTUS, then failed to disclose the buyer’s identity - there’s a stench on the bench.

@ReichWingWatch It's worse. Of course it's worse. 1. There're two female relatives who accused him of misconduct, not one. 2. He has pushed for bill requiring 50/50 shared child custody irregardless of any abuse allegations 3. There's no democratic opponent for the general election
