Tonight, after a year of screaming about holding ICE accountable, 144 House Democrats joined 203 Republicans to pass CORCA, a bill that grants DHS and ICE sweeping new power to collect American citizens' personal information under the guise of combating retail theft.

🚨BREAKING: Local police and ICE agents were filmed surrounding a Black man in Columbus, Ohio… despite openly admitting he had NO warrants.

In the video, you can hear an officer ask:

“So you have no warrants?”

The man responds that they already KNOW he doesn’t… because he handed over all of his information.

Then he asks:

“Why did you pull me over?”

An officer says, “You can’t have weed out in the car like that.”

The man responds, “Weed’s not illegal. Are you all going to write me a ticket for weed?!?”

And another officer ACTUALLY replies… “It’s frowned upon.”

It’s frowned upon?

Now yes… Ohio law does regulate how marijuana is transported in vehicles, similar to alcohol. If it’s open or improperly stored, officers can issue a citation.

A CITATION.

Not a situation where a man is pulled out of his car, and have multiple agencies run his information.

Because if the issue was truly “improper storage,” then write the ticket and let him go.

That’s how laws are supposed to work in a constitutional republic.

Instead, what we’re watching is officers fishing for reasons to escalate AFTER already deciding this man was “suspicious.”

The Fourth Amendment exists specifically to stop the government from detaining people without legitimate legal justification.

And then you have the issue of ICE agents being involved…

ICE is a federal immigration agency. They are not traffic police. They are not supposed to be part of routine traffic stops, especially when they involve U.S. citizens.

That separation exists on purpose.

Because when federal agencies start getting involved in traffic stops, it expands government power, fast.

And once that happens, the line between enforcement and overreach gets blurred… and that’s when your constitutional rights start to disappear.

The level of courage it takes for these Palestinian victims of rape to talk openly about what is being done to them while in Israeli custody -- in the face of threats that the assaults will be repeated -- is awe inspiring.

Kristof even found three children raped in Israeli custody. Cutting off funds is not enough. Only sanctions and prosecutions can bring some semblance of civility back.

Do you have an elderly or disabled neighbor in NYC?

Be a good neighbor and let them know about the free air conditioner program.

If they earn $3473 or less a month, NYC will cover the costs of an A/C. Remember…last summer we had 95 degree weather. Look out for them

🗞️ NEW: Leaked audio recordings released through the “Hondurasgate”leaks project and reported by Diario Red allegedly expose a covert network involving former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, Trump-aligned Republicans, and allies of Argentine President Javier Milei discussing plans to fund a U.S.-based disinformation operation targeting the left-wing governments of Mexico, Colombia, and Honduras, according to a report by Spanish outlet El País.

🔹The recordings allegedly capture Hernández requesting funds from current Honduran officials to establish a U.S.-based digital media operation aimed at spreading anti-left narratives and destabilizing regional governments.

🔹In one alleged exchange, Hernández claims Milei pledged $350,000 in support and says “files” were being prepared against the governments of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Colombian President Gustavo Petro.

🔹Another recording, previously reported by Drop Site, allegedly shows Hernández claiming Israeli-linked donors and “a group of rabbis” helped finance his pardon by President Donald Trump after his U.S. narcotrafficking conviction.

🔹Hernández also allegedly claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu played a role in securing his release.
