Keith Porter Jr., a father of two, a son, and a brother, had his life taken by off-duty ICE agent Brian Palacios. His grieving family came together to demand the truth. We will continue to support Keith Porter Jr.’s family until they receive justice, transparency, and answers.
In the last 60 minutes, the President has posted 56 times on Truth Social.
One post claims Walmart is closing 85% of its California stores because of our “$22 minimum wage.”
Another features an AI-generated video in which a robot accuses Governor Newsom of running a drug-money laundering scheme out of the Governor’s Office with the Mexican cartel.
Just to clarify:
— Walmart’s 303 stores in California are open.
— The AI robot is lying. Governor Newsom is not Pablo Escobar.
We cannot believe we have to say any of this out loud.
We cannot believe this is real life.
And we truly cannot believe this man has the nuclear codes.
Deep breaths, everyone. Three more years.
@mattvanswol This guy was a badass. I broke a rib once and didn’t do anything physical for a month.
ICE breaks Alex Pretti’s rib and he’s back out in a week helping women being shoved to the ground by federal agents?
Every time you try and slander this guy he looks cooler.
President Trump’s speech at the Detroit Economic Club was filled with false claims about the economy and various other topics. Here’s a quick fact check of some of his claims; more details at the link below.
- Trump didn’t win the popular vote “all three times”; he won it in 2024 and lost it (by millions) in 2016 and 2020
- Trump didn’t win Michigan in 2020, as even a GOP-led Michigan investigation confirmed five years ago
- Inflation hasn’t “stopped”; the CPI report this very morning showed it continues
- Overall prices aren’t “down” under Trump, they’re up
- Grocery prices aren’t starting to “go rapidly down”; the CPI report showed December had the biggest month-to-month spike in three years (though there might be some shutdown-related data issues)
- Trump didn’t inherit “the worst inflation” of all time; it hit a 40-year high in June 2022 and had fallen sharply to 3.0% by January 2025
- It’s impossible to reduce drug prices by “thousands of percents,” since a reduction of more than 100% means people would get paid to get their pills
- Trump hasn’t secured “$18 trillion” in investment in the US; this figure is fiction, nearly double the White House website’s own wildly exaggerated “$9.6 trillion” figure
- Growth is robust but nowhere near “the highest growth we’ve ever had”
- China isn’t “one of our biggest taxpayers right now” via tariffs; US importers pay those tariffs
- Trump said gas is “under $2 in many places”; GasBuddy told me today that it’s under $2 at about 465 stations of the 150,000ish stations it tracks nationwide
- Trump hasn’t “ended eight wars”; among other issues, his figure includes two situations that were never wars, one war that never ended, one war that flared back up last month, and one war where some violence has continued
- Trump’s big bill didn’t completely eliminate tax on Social Security for seniors; it created an additional temporary deduction, but many seniors will still pay tax on their benefits
- You can’t balance the federal budget by eliminating fraud, since the deficit is more than triple the highest end of the GAO’s estimated fraud range
- Biden didn’t let in anywhere close to 25 million migrants (big Trump exaggeration) or 11,888 murders (long-debunked misrepresentation of federal data that includes people who entered the US over decades, including Trump’s first term)
- The US didn’t lose anywhere close to 36,000 people during its time building the Panama Canal
- And…though the story was much vaguer than usual this time…no, Trump still didn’t win a Michigan Man of the Year award years before he entered politics

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city, obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”
Tonight my son turned 12 and so we went to Waffle House( his choice) as we went in I mentioned to the waiter, Philip that it was my son’s 12th birthday mainly to embarrass him! While we waited for our food, Philip presented Nathan with 12 one dollar bills from his tips! To put this in context we were the only ones in the Waffle House at Little Road in Arlington so I can only imagine he doesn’t get a ton of tips! Phillip thank you for making this a memorable birthday and teaching my son how to sacrificially give and love others - this is a birthday he will not forget! If you are in the area visit Phillip at the Waffle House in Arlington on Little Rd💙Credit - Victor Garcia
Chicagoans were told this was all about deporting violent criminals--"the worst of the worst."
Now DOJ records show that just 2.6% on list of the first wave of 614 'Operation Midway Blitz' arrestees had criminal histories.
To borrow a phrase:
It's a hoax! https://t.co/BGdD84F7np
