Gov. Mike DeWine on the Mullin v. Doe: "It's a mistake for a number of reasons…You cannot fly into Port-au-Prince…It is clearly not safe…It is worse than it has ever been…It's not in the U.S. interest, certainly not in Ohio's interest, to have people who are working every single day, who are supporting a family, who are buying houses, fixing up old houses, starting businesses, and put deep roots in this country and really are contributing — and yank them out…That is a huge, huge mistake."

Eviction notices have been sent to farmers in northern Vietnam to make way for a $1.5 billion Trump Organization-branded luxury golf resort project.

Trump never divested from the Trump Org, so this project is one of his countless conflicts of interest. https://t.co/FdpTBl2yMc

🚨BREAKING: In the Chicago suburbs, an ICE agent assaults a teenager for filming his vehicle, and pointing out that it illegally has no license plate.

In the video, a U.S. citizen is peacefully filming an ICE vehicle, that is sitting in a parking lot. He walks to the back of the SUV to document that it has no license plate.

That’s when the ICE agent jumps out, screaming, “Get away from my vehicle!” while aggressively charging toward the teenager.

The teenager immediately backs away, but the ICE agent keeps walking at him, tries to trip the teenager , and continues yelling… even though neither of them are anywhere near the vehicle anymore.

Filming government officials performing their duties, in public, is protected by the First Amendment. That protection doesn’t disappear just because the official doesn’t like being recorded.

An officer also can’t lawfully use physical force simply because someone is filming them. Using force, to stop someone from recording, is a violation of that person’s constitutional rights.

And let’s not ignore the reason the ICE agent got out of his car in the first place...

Illinois law requires vehicles, driven on public roads, to display valid registration plates. This ICE vehicle is not following that law.

So, if your first instinct, when someone records your conduct, is to assault them… you’re proving exactly why the public is recording in the first place.

Former President Biden criticized President Trump and made a comment about the ongoing Reflecting Pool renovations during his speech at the 2026 Fight Back & Win Gala hosted by the Maryland Democratic Party on Saturday.

“The Reflecting Pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration,” Biden said. “It’s the corruption… the brazen, blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.”

Trump is taking away a once in a generation chance to fix the housing crisis. Republicans and Democrats came together and passed a housing bill for working families. He tore it apart. His priority is enriching himself above all. #SaveHousingFromTrump

#BREAKING: Lawrence: “The Trump White House has been rocked by stunning new reporting in the NYTimes that some in the White House seem to consider SO ACCURATE, that they are accusing NYTimes reporters of having obtained audio recordings of White House Situation Room meetings. Think about that. The White House is not condemning this new devastating reporting from inside the Trump White House as a pack of lies. Instead, they are in effect declaring it to be so shockingly 100% accurate that the reporters MUST HAVE audio recordings of what was said in the White House.”😂😳

BREAKING: HE'S LOST HIS MIND! Trump is now ARRESTING people, including an Olympic cyclist, for just TOUCHING his precious Reflecting Pool and deploying National Guard troops to guard it from imaginary antifa vandals!

This is starting to get scary…

On Truth Social, Trump declared that “The United States Park Police have arrested multiple individuals for vandalizing our nation's magnificent Reflecting Pool. Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail!”

While giving no details about the arrests, reporters and eyewitnesses were able to discover that citations were being issued for simply *touching* the Reflecting Pool.

David Hearn, an Olympic cyclist, was finishing a bike ride and went to check out the Pool to see what all the fuss was about. He touched his fingers to the water to see what it felt like, and found himself ARRESTED on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government property.

“I didn’t vandalize anything,” Hearn said. “I didn’t destroy or break or peel anything. By the time I realized what was going on, I was being put in handcuffs.”
This isn’t funny anymore. This is the stupidest tyranny that the world has possibly ever seen. Arresting someone for TOUCHING A POOL and then claiming they were destroying it?

Donald Trump is losing his mind, and he’s growing more and more authoritarian by the day.

This is a colossal misuse of public resources and flagrant abuse of state power in order to accommodate the paranoid delusions of a demented pedophile (alleged) and Congress needs to take action IMMEDIATELY to put a stop to this dangerous nonsense.

Police officer fired for feeding "feces sandwich" to homeless man—now promoted to Chief of Police.

After being rehired on technicality—fired yet again after another poop-related attack in women's bathroom.

He was rehired by another Texas police department—and promoted to Chief of Police.

Matthew Luckhurst bragged to a fellow San Antonio police officer that he had picked up some feces, placed it in a slice of bread, put it in a Styrofoam container, and then gave it to a homeless man.

His final termination from the San Antonio Police Department was in 2020.

He was then rehired as a police officer by the Benavides Police Department in April 2023—promoted to Police Chief in June 2026.

Benavides is a city located in Duval County in South Texas.
