Chris Christie tears into Trump’s unprecedented grifting:
“He and his family believe they are entitled to this… This is Putin-esque type of corruption and self-enrichment.”
For most of us, seeing the Klan 2.0, a.k.a. Patriot Front, march through Washington, D.C., unchallenged by authorities overshadowed any celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
My ancestors lived through this. And no one today can say with a straight face that racism is behind us.
This is how ICE in New Jersey feels about the American flag. He grabbed it from a protester and literally started ripping it into pieces and then tried to get rid of it so why isn’t he getting trashed by his people.
ICE detain single mother during traffic stop—separate her from 2 year old daughter left behind in back seat.
Last words to daughter:
"OK, baby, my love, don’t be scared."
"Sit down my love, mommy is going to go with them."
She is well known community volunteer—targeted by ICE for organizing food drives in support of families during immigration raids.
"They were already waiting for me when I left home," she tells friend over the phone.
Her teenage son was driving, but only had an Illinois Instruction Permit to drive with an adult.
Agents gave her one call before being taken to detention center.
Karina Brucio's only option was to call her best friend to hopefully come and take care of her children.
Incident occurred in the Blue Island suburb of Chicago, Illinois.

🚨BREAKING: Border Patrol agents violently pulled a U.S. citizen PASSENGER from a vehicle, slamming him to the ground…
Then shouted that he had a gun, even though he didn’t.
In Tucson, Arizona, state troopers pulled over a vehicle. While they were stopped on the side of the road, the state trooper called Border Patrol because the PASSENGER appeared to be Hispanic.
When Border Patrol arrived, the situation immediately escalated to agents smashed both passenger-side windows.
One agent tried to hit the phone out of the driver’s hand, who was recording, as they violently ripped the backseat passenger out of the vehicle, and threw him onto the ground, while multiple agents pin him down.
Then, an agent ordered the driver out of the vehicle.
She responded, “I didn’t do anything.”
The agent replied, “Step out or you are going to get tackled.”
At that point, at least three agents already had the passenger pinned, with his hands behind his back, when another agent suddenly yelled, “Gun!”
A fourth agent responded, “He has a gun?”
The driver immediately yells back, “NO! He has NO gun. WE HAVE NO WEAPONS!”
The agent, closest to the car, was startled by this, appearing to forget the driver was still inside… and filming.
That’s when he reached into the vehicle, grabbed her phone, threw it from her hand, and attempted to pull her out of the car.
There is a lot going on in this video, so let’s break this down…
First… you don’t get to detain people based on how they look. The Fourth Amendment requires individualized, reasonable suspicion. Not “he looked Hispanic.”
Second… a passenger, during a traffic stop, is not automatically required to identify themselves, or hand over ID. Law enforcement needs a lawful basis… like reasonable suspicion that that specific person committed a crime… to demand identification.
Third… even when someone is lawfully detained, they are only required to comply with lawful orders tied to THAT detention. A passenger doesn’t lose constitutional protections just because someone else was pulled over, while driving.
Fourth… the First Amendment protects the right to record law enforcement, in public, while they’re doing their job. Knocking a phone away, or throwing it because someone is filming, is violating that constitutional right.
And finally, any use of force… breaking windows, pulling someone out of a car, and restraining them… has to be objectively reasonable under the Fourth Amendment. That requires specific, articulable facts, not assumptions about identity.
This wasn’t a checkpoint.
It wasn’t a border stop.
This was a traffic stop where a PASSENGER became the target because of how he looked.
And if that’s enough to trigger federal agents breaking windows, and violently pulling U.S. citizens out of cars… then every single person should be demanding answers, and accountability.
Because this could’ve ended with another U.S. citizen dead…
And next time, that U.S. citizen could be you.
Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill into law one year ago yesterday. Are you finding it easier to make ends meet?
Based on what I've been hearing from Vermonters, not many can say yes.
Americans are paying the price, and we won't let Republicans escape it.
Gavin Newsom goes off on the Trump Family corruption:
Newsom: And I’m not talking about the $100,000 watches. I’m not talking about the guitars that he’s selling that you didn’t even know about, or the Bibles, or the sneakers. I’m not talking about all that.
I’m talking about what’s happening substantively with these kids and these investments, and the Pentagon contracts they’re receiving on rare earth minerals and drone companies, and all the stuff that’s happening with the Kushner family, the Witkoff family, the “Board of Peace,” which is about getting a piece of the Middle East.
Let’s talk about the UAE and high-value chips, where they’re getting a piece of our national security, where the Biden administration held off. But as long as you can get a deal done with the UAE on the private family businesses, then all of a sudden national security becomes less of an important talking point.
Or how about the tariff relief in places like Vietnam for the golf courses and the development deals, and the dozen other countries that he’s doing business in? How about all the corruption as it relates to the self-dealing with his resorts and all of his assets that the Secret Service and taxpayers are subsidizing? Or directing G7 investments? Or the emoluments issues across the spectrum every day? Or just the day trading literally behind the Oval Office desk, or showing up on your calendar at a company that you just invested in because you know that stock’s going to pop because you’re going to promote it the next day?
All of this happening—this open sewage system. You talk about draining the swamp. He gave it a presidential suite with gold leaf.
And you’re seeing this gross corruption at a scale and scope never before seen in modern American history. This is stuff I don’t even imagine exists at this scale in a year and a half, even in Putin’s Russia or Kim Jong-un’s North Korea.
On July 4, 2026, America’s 250th birthday, Reuters photographed a young Black woman surrounded by masked white supremacists.
It felt like Trump’s America in one frame.
Masked extremists in public. Masked ICE agents at people’s doors. Immigrants hunted. Rights treated like obstacles.
Trump empowered this, uniformed it, and made it policy.

#BREAKING: Alex Witt: “So, in the hours before the Supreme Court handed down the very last of the term’s significant decisions, those on Trans rights, and campaign finance, and Trump’s power to fire government officials, Justice Clarence Thomas was spotted on Capitol Hill by MSNOW’s Mychael Schnell…Is this normal?”🤦♀️
Trump and his sons ripped off nearly one million of their supporters and made a fortune producing nothing of value for anyone. Blood sucking leeches, using the US presidency to do it. And they couldn’t care less and their cult doesn’t seem to mind. Strange times in America.
🚨BREAKING: Trump interrupts his own teleprompter to contradict and refute his own statement that the United States has equal justice under the law.
He has a point. If we did have equal justice his ass would be in prison.
