@squaratelli @TheCowardDonald @philosophrob@DrJillStein We did. We gave people a sane, sentient, smart, capable, experienced, caring candidate. You want more? Catch the next bus to Narnia.
Ken Paxton panics and refuses to answer multiple questions from reporters, forcing his handler to intervene:
Q: James Talarico is calling you out for owning 15 homes on a government salary, can you respond?
Paxton: *dodges question*
Q: Will you answer a question about your alleged voter fraud?
Handler: We’re going to get out of here
Border Patrol pulls over a 20-year-old in Slidell, LA for “white lights on the back of your vehicle… your reverse lights are on the whole time.”
Then, before writing a single ticket, the agent asks: “What’s your citizenship?”
The driver, Alan Laureano, was born in Slidell. His passenger — his 13-year-old stepbrother — was born in Pearl River, Louisiana. Both are U.S. citizens.
Didn’t matter. Twice, on camera, the agent tells Laureano he’s going to “check” the kid and “if he’s illegal, I will take him.”
He tries to open the 13-year-old’s car door himself. Laureano locks it and rolls the window down instead.
The agent then interrogates the child directly — full name, spelling, date of birth, birthplace — while Laureano stands his ground and refuses to hand over his own ID, telling the agent he doesn’t have the right to stop him over a taillight.
Immigration attorney Michael Gahagan reviewed the video and called it what it is: “an illegal detention.” Border Patrol isn’t authorized to detain someone over a traffic violation — they need independent reasonable suspicion of an immigration violation, and that has to come first, not get invented after the stop.
DHS’s after-the-fact statement claims the stop was based on “reasonable suspicion or probable cause of federal law violations” — but doesn’t say what that violation was. WWL Louisiana asked twice. No answer either time.
This is the pattern: pretext stop, pivot to citizenship, threaten a kid with removal before confirming anything. It only looks “routine” until you’re the one being asked to prove you belong in the country you were born in.
This comparison to Trump's first and second term job approval rating on the economy says everything about the political environment for the upcoming 2026 midterms
Trump had a +8 approval on the economy at this time in 2018 and still got wiped out in the midterms. His job approval is -34 now! You can't gerrymand out of that
@baumusc@browntom1234@C_3C_3 Do your homework, Sherlock. The suit that alleges this was brought by a Republican candidate for office in league with the freakin’ far right AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE PARTY. Yeesh!
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
UPDATE: Scott Pelley called out Bari Weiss, saying in the meeting: "She’s murdering 60 mins. She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that."
NYT confirms — with new details:
Last year, Navy SEALs used two boats to escort Kash Patel and nine others on what a Pentagon email called a 'VIP Snorkel' next to one of the military's most sacred sites, the underwater tomb of the U.S.S. Arizona.
One Navy vet called the swim "horrifying." https://t.co/wuBwyvxaXY
