A homeland security secretary should not be confirmed until Congress agrees to new agency guardrails, and the Trump Administration agrees to impartial investigations into the fatal shootings in Minnesota.
🚨BREAKING: An ICE agent threatened to kill a U.S. citizen for driving through a neighborhood, in Cold Spring, Minnesota.
In the video, a woman is in her car when an agent walks towards her, with his hand on his gun, in the middle of the street.
He tells her that if she comes near him with her car, it will be “the last thing that you do.”
In other words… a federal agent just threatened to execute a U.S. citizen for driving down a public street.
She immediately points out that she wasn’t even close to him and tells him to get out of the road.
Instead, the agent escalates.
He stands directly in front of her vehicle, hand still on his gun, and tells her she cannot reverse or leave the street.
Except there’s just one problem…
He never identifies a crime.
He never states a lawful order.
He simply blocks her car and starts issuing threats.
That’s an illegal detention.
Then, he contradicts himself…
He told her she can’t back up… and seconds later screams at her to “back the f*ck up.”
The agent then walks to the side of her car and begins shining a flashlight directly into her face, with his hand still on his gun.
When she tells him to get the light out of her face and back off, he moves directly in front of her car again and repeats the threat:
“Do not hit me. This is your first and last warning.”
Again… she hasn’t moved.
Her car is still in reverse, and she repeatedly tells him to take his hand off his gun.
She even says:
“I’m not going to hit you!”
And yet, the agent keeps escalating, screaming the same accusation over and over… as if he’s trying to manufacture a justification to shoot her.
This is the exact same tactic we’ve already seen in multiple shootings involving ICE/Border Patrol… where federal agents step in front of vehicles and then claim they feared for their lives when the driver tries to leave, like they told them to do.
Blocking a vehicle, threatening deadly force, illegally detaining a citizen, and creating a scenario where a shooting can be justified after the fact…
Is not only dangerous, it’s illegal.
Because when armed federal agents start threatening to kill people for driving down their own street, more people are eventually going to end up dead…
And they will call it “self-defense.”
And removing Kristi Noem isn’t going to change that.
No one should have to beg the government to exercise a constitutionally protected right anywhere in the country.
Thank you @RepHouchin for cosponsoring HR 645, the National Constitutional Carry Act.
We know someone in the Trump admin authorized Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a cushy, minimum-security prison. But we don't know who, or why.
That's why @RepRaskin , @RepRoKhanna + I have launched an investigation to get the answers the American people and survivors deserve.
Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.
"We are not at war," Johnson said. "We have no intention of being at war."
Excuse me, this is war. Even those in favor of it will admit that much.
Changing the real meaning of words does not relieve Congress of its Constitutional duty to authorize War.

🚨 The US is now deploying Ukrainian drone interceptors to fight Iranian drones in the Middle East.
Let that sink in.
The administration that cut off Ukraine’s weapons. That humiliated Zelensky in the Oval Office. That called him a dictator.
Is now using Ukrainian technology to survive a war they started with no plan.
Here’s the math Iran figured out:
US Patriot missile: $4 million.
Iranian Shahad drone: $35,000.
Iran is flooding the zone with cheap drones until the Gulf states run out of expensive counter-munitions. It’s the same strategy they used against Russia — and Ukraine has been fighting it 250-350 drones at a time, 4-5 days a week, for two years.
Ukraine’s interceptor costs $3,000 each.
The most powerful military on earth is now dependent on a $3,000 Ukrainian quad-copter to survive an illegal war built on a 30-year-old lie.
Zelensky didn’t need us.
We needed him.
Imagine believing immigrants are the reason you can't afford groceries while the federal government uses $220,000,000 of your tax dollars to make an ad to convince you that immigrants are the reason you can't afford groceries.
Trump’s second-term pardons are historic in their enormity—billions in fines erased, allies protected, donors rewarded, DOJ undermined, and election norms threatened. Corruption looks less like an exception and more like the rule, says Cato’s Dan Greenberg.

This family was detained at Dilley Detention Center in Texas for two months & just released! They were left at a bus station with their 5 & 11 year old sons with Covid.They made it home to New Mexico & all their belongings were gone except their car which they’re living in now!
Elon Musk, you pretentious bald fuck with a micro-penis and god complex—you blew $44B on X to stroke your fragile ego after endless ratioings. Your Teslas are flaming deathtraps, SpaceX rockets are pricey fireworks, Neuralink fries brains, and your Mars fantasy is cult bait. You breed kids like a stray dog but can't hold a wife 'cause you're a narcissistic shithead. Suck a bag of dicks and fuck off to your red planet.
DOJ has produced, and Judge Boasberg has ordered unsealed, transcripts from three hearings in the investigations that led to Trump's federal indictments.

⚠️❗️Watch out for this account - @PabVis. This is Pavel Rubtsov, a senior officer in the Russian military intelligence service. He poses as a journalist and writes extensively in Spanish. It's possible that Putin will send him on a mission to South America.
Although he claims to be a journalist and a committed activist, he is actually an officer of the Russian GRU carrying out intelligence activities. He ingratiated himself with influential figures throughout Europe, recorded sex tapes, blackmailed his victims, wrote propaganda, and provided descriptions of individuals for recruitment and of important NATO facilities.
⚠️He was caught thanks to the Polish intelligence services. We know everything about him. There are now many indications that Moscow is preparing him for another military mission.

The man accused of killing three people and injuring 15 others in a downtown Austin shooting spree was a former Tesla employee who worked at Gigafactory Texas, where he allegedly assaulted a fellow employee late last year.
The victim repeatedly asked for his name after the alleged assault but Tesla refused, a lawyer said. The victim only learned his identity after the mass shooting early Sunday, when pictures of Ndiaga Diagne began circulating.

Why are we providing sanctions relief to a country targeting America's sons and daughters? I'll be demanding answers and accountability from the
