🚨BREAKING: A manager at a local diner asked ICE agents for a warrant before they searched a private areas of the business… and their response… slamming him to the ground, and putting a knee in his back, leaving him injured.

Because apparently exercising your constitutional rights is now being treated like obstruction.

According to witnesses, ICE agents were chasing someone who ran into the restaurant after a traffic stop. The manager reportedly told them they could not just storm through the kitchen without judicial authorization.

Because the Fourth Amendment is still a thing… even though ICE agents keep pretending it isn’t.

Law enforcement cannot just search private areas of a business because they feel like it. A kitchen, in a restaurant, is not a public space.

When agents do not have consent, exigent circumstances, or a valid warrant signed by a judge… then managers have every right to question that search.

That is literally how constitutional protections work.

And the fact that the manager was injured, after asserting those rights, should outrage everyone.

Rights either apply to everyone… or they are not rights at all.

Finally, something not horrible on this site.

What kind of government brings back cyanide bombs onto public land after years of documented deaths and outrage?

The devices are called M-44s. They’re baited with scented lures designed to attract coyotes and other animals. But they don’t know the difference between wildlife, pets, or children.

One tug releases sodium cyanide into the victim’s face. Moisture turns it into deadly hydrogen cyanide gas. The result is often convulsions, paralysis, and a horrifying death.

These are the same devices that killed a 14-year-old Idaho boy’s dog in front of him in 2017 and sent him to the hospital.

The Biden administration banned them from Bureau of Land Management lands in 2023. But in 2026, Trump’s agencies quietly reversed course, reopening roughly 245 million acres of public land to their use. Then House Republicans pushed language to fully restore the program through the USDA.

Wildlife Services’ own records show thousands of animals killed with M-44s in a single year, including accidental deaths of protected species and non-target animals. Family dogs, wolves, grizzlies, even condors have been caught in these traps.

This isn’t conservation. It’s poison hidden across public lands for the benefit of livestock interests.

Americans should not have to worry about cyanide devices near hiking trails, campsites, or places where children and pets roam.

They brought them back quietly because they knew the public would be horrified.

I still can’t believe this actually happened.

ICE let us walk through the doors of the Otay Mesa Detention Center on Monday. Then they handed us a memo telling us we were not allowed to talk to anyone held inside.

The memo, signed that same day by the Acting ICE Director, says members of Congress must now identify detainees by name and obtain signed consent two days in advance before speaking with a single one of them.

Federal law gives us clear authority to inspect these facilities at will. We already had to sue in federal court just to get in the door. Now there is a new barrier, invented this week, to make sure we never hear from the people actually being detained.

If everyone inside is being treated lawfully and with humanity, what exactly is the administration trying to hide?

Here is video of Trump's newly hired immigration judge Melissa Isaak calling women a "warm, wet hole":

"There's two types of women. There are good, solid, valuable women who are assets to men ... Then there's a warm, wet hole."

Bayer is a German chemical company. They make Roundup. Roundup gives people non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Bayer has paid over $11 billion in cancer lawsuits.

This week, Congress is going to vote on a bill that gives Bayer permanent immunity from being sued by Americans who get cancer from their product.

Here is how it happened. 🧵

Donald Trump has fired the entire National Science Board, all 24 members, all at once.

The board was responsible for deciding which scientific projects America should pursue and helping to direct the nation's technological future.

The Secret Service doesn’t give you a choice.

For decades we’ve seen in EVERY case where there has been a Presidential security breach, they tackle you, shove you, hell they will carry the President kicking and screaming if they have to.

But twice now with Trump, they’ve shrugged and let him get his photo op or return to the stage?

do you understand what happened to PlayStation yesterday..

They quietly turned your game purchases into a 30-day subscription.
No announcement.. No warning..

You didn't rent it.. You BOUGHT it.

→ Every new PSN purchase now has a 30-day validation timer
→ Timer hits zero = game locked
→ CMOS battery dies = game locked
→ No internet for a month = game locked
→ Even FREE demos have the timer now

Game bought March 2nd? No timer. Works forever..
Game bought April 24th? Expires May 24th..

They didn't patch a bug. They shipped this on purpose.

Digital ownership just died. They didn't even tell you.

ICE punch a 16-year-old boy in the face.

Agent then violently detains a 14-year-old girl putting his hands around her neck.

Both kids are U.S. citizens.

Incident occurred in the Pueblo de Palmas neighborhood of Edinburg in Hidalgo County, Texas—in the Rio Grande Valley.

Trump has promised a United States contribution of 10 billion dollars to the "Board of Peace."

And who is the founder, the inaugural Chairman, and the lead authority of the Board of Peace? — @realDonaldTrump

So, in essence, he's giving HIMSELF $10 billion courtesy of U.S tax payers.

The Department of Energy canceled 321 grants worth $7.5 billion last October. Every single one was in a state that voted against the President. Not a single project in a red state was touched.

This week, I asked Energy Secretary Wright a simple question: why?

The Trump Administration already answered that question themselves, admitting in a court filing that the terminations were “influenced by whether a grantee's address was located in a state that tends to elect Democratic candidates.”

By the end of the hearing, Secretary Wright committed on the record to reconsidering those terminations.

That commitment is now public, and you better believe I’ll be holding him to it.

LEE: Your agency told programs to remove 200 words from their funding applications including the word "Black." Do you have an idea how we can solve the black maternal health crisis if we cannot say "Black"? 

RFK JR: DEI divided and polarized people.

LEE: We’re talking about healthcare.

RFK JR: We’re talking about DEI. Do you think the federal government should be paying for DEI? 

LEE: I think the federal government has a vested interest in ensuring citizens survive childbirth. 

RFK JR: We are meeting that obligation. 

LEE: We are not
