Trump's Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins: "If we have a big screwworm infestation—which we will not, we're on top of it..."

The screwworm has returned to the US after 60 years after Trump and DOGE eliminated a program to contain the flesh-eating parasite.

She was one of three known survivors of the days long riot, which destroyed the prosperous Black neighborhood of Greenwood.

BREAKING: Senator Andy Kim just slammed Donald Trump's ICE officers for causing chaos in New Jersey while showing us what real leadership in the face of adversity looks like. Every American needs to see this.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨 HOLY SHIT.

CNN just cited a New York Times estimate saying Trump has reportedly profited $1.4 BILLION from the presidency.

And the wildest part?

One panelist said Trump made MORE MONEY in the last year than in the rest of his life combined.

Think about that.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨TRUMP IS GOING TO LOSE HIS SHIT:

Ossoff just UNLOADED on him:

"He's a failed president and a national disgrace… and While you pay more for everything, Donald Trump wants your tax dollars for what many are calling the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom."

MIC DROP. 🎤

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨 HOLY SHIT.

A U.S. citizen just testified before the Senate that ICE agents ignored his passport, detained him, placed him on suicide watch, and released him WITHOUT charges or explanation.

Read that again.

An AMERICAN CITIZEN says he showed agents his passport multiple times…

and still ended up locked in a cell under 24/7 lights, stripped naked, wearing a hospital gown while guards watched him constantly.

His family reportedly had no idea where he was.

Then after all of that?

No charges.
No explanation.
Just released.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were filmed trespassing in a fenced-in yard, with their gun drawn, without a warrant, in Joliet, Illinois.

In the video, a person inside the house starts recording after noticing ICE agents were walking around their property.

One agent can be seen with their hand on their gun.

Then, a second agent walks into view with their gun fully drawn… and briefly points it toward the person filming inside the house, before moving out of frame as the person filming yells, “what are you doing?”

A fenced-in yard is not public property.

Under the 4th Amendment, the area immediately surrounding a home, including fenced yards, is considered part of the home itself for constitutional protections. Courts call this the “curtilage” of the home.

Which means federal agents are not supposed to just roam around inside it without a warrant, consent, or an actual emergency circumstance that legally justifies it.

Then there’s the gun…

Because this wasn’t someone charging at officers.

This was a person INSIDE their own home… holding a phone… recording what armed federal agents were doing on their property.

So, what exactly justified drawing a firearm and briefly aiming it toward the person filming?

What immediate threat existed?

This is the kind of behavior that should terrify people regardless of politics… because once armed federal agents start treating constitutional protections like suggestions, no one is safe.

Rights either apply to everyone… or eventually they stop meaning anything at all.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are brutalizing protesters outside the Delaney Hall detention center, in New Jersey… despite the fact ICE agents should NEVER be handling crowd control in the first place.

These are already some of the most poorly trained federal agents in the country, when it comes to de-escalation and constitutional rights… and now they’re being unleashed on crowds of U.S. citizens.

And all this is happening because detainees inside are on a hunger strike over inedible food, lack of medical care, abusive conditions, and extreme heat.

So, if these private prison contractors are taking BILLIONS of our taxes… what are they doing with all of that money?

Because that money is supposed to go toward housing, food, sanitation, and medical care for the people the government is detaining.

Instead, these companies continue raking in massive profits, while conditions inside these facilities keep being reported for abuse, neglect, overcrowding, and medical mistreatment.

And instead of addressing the conditions that sparked the protests… ICE responds by assaulting U.S. citizens.

I’m gonna post this video every day so we NEVER FORGET what Donald Trump did to the USA on Jan 6th

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

MAGA: “If you’re here legally, you have nothing to worry about.”

Also MAGA: “Just comply and show your ID.”

The reality:

A U.S. citizen. Born in Colorado. Mother of four. Stopped in Lafayette, Louisiana. Shackled. Detained in an ICE facility anyway.

She showed agents her state-issued ID and Social Security card. ICE reportedly called them “fake,” handcuffed her, chained her ankles, interrogated her, and transported her to a detention center. She was released hours later only after legal intervention.

The lesson is not “show your papers.”

The lesson is that papers don’t protect you when power decides not to read them.

This is not “law and order.”
This is state abuse.

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

My heart broke to see Americans fighting Americans in our streets yesterday. As I saw ICE agents tackling civilians and firing pepper balls into the crowd, I was overwhelmed by how broken we’ve become. We cannot normalize this violence. Here’s what happened at Delaney Hall: THREAD

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. Instead of engaging with me and others about the poor conditions, ICE sent in an armored vehicle and a line of armed agents that only poured gasoline on the fire. Civilians were tackled and restrained, and agents fired pepper balls and spray into the crowd. This is more of the same lawlessness we’ve seen elsewhere around the country. 

Our country deserves accountability. Our country deserves the humane treatment of every person here. In fact, our Constitution demands this. What I witnessed and experienced today was shameful. Delaney Hall is a failure; it’s this administration’s failure. The only way to make this right for our communities is to shut it down and make sure the failures we’ve seen never happen again.

Here's how the corruption works:

Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump

Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it

Friday: FDA changes the policy

Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.

Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.
