🚨BREAKING: ICE agents kidnapped a U.S. citizen, while he was grabbing coffee, in Maryland.

Samuel Guzmán repeatedly told agents he was born in the United States. He even offered to show his ID… and they didn’t believe him.

Instead, they took his phone, wallet, and keys, shoved him in their car, illegally transported him to another location, questioned him about where he was “really” from, for 2 hours, and refused to let him call anyone.

Then, once they realized he was a U.S. citizen… they let him go without explaining why he was detained.

The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures…. ICE agents don’t get to kidnap someone, from a coffee shop parking lot, without reasonable suspicion or probable cause.

The Fifth Amendment guarantees due process…. Holding someone against their will while refusing to tell them why, or denying them access to contact anyone, is a constitutional violation.

And the Equal Protection principles mean the government can’t target people simply because of their race, ethnicity, or the language they speak.

If you’re okay with constitutional rights disappearing the moment someone has the wrong last name, or skin color…

You were never defending law and order.

If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today.

Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.

Military historian Phillips O’Brien: There have been no U.S. peace efforts in Ukraine.

There have been efforts to get Putin a very good deal, forcing Ukrainians to give up more territory and people. That is not peace. That is Washington trying to deliver Putin a success. 1/

🚨 BREAKING: The Vice President Is Now Being Pulled Into The Epstein Controversy.

According to new reporting, JD Vance participated in Situation Room meetings with senior administration officials to discuss strategy surrounding the Epstein files.

Think about that.

The Situation Room is normally associated with wars, terrorist attacks, and national security crises.

Now reports say it was being used to discuss Epstein.

Then came another revelation:

The Vice President was reportedly in the room alongside Susie Wiles, Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, and others.

That’s what makes this significant.

Bad enough that officials were discussing Epstein rebuttals.

But some of the highest-ranking officials in the federal government were reportedly involved.

The question is why.

Russia had another restless night. Ukrainian drones attacked the Afipsky oil refinery in the Krasnodar Krai. A massive fire has reportedly broken out on the facility's grounds.

Congress must say no to a bloated military budget.

Candidate Trump: "I will end inflation on Day One."

President Trump today: "I love the inflation."

You know who doesn't love inflation, Mr. President? Working families struggling to afford gas, groceries and other necessities because of your disastrous actions.

Let me get right to the point. The Senate should not confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general.

The firing of Scott Pelley is a warning for our democracy.

This is the same Scott Pelley who reminded us: In 1798, the Sedition Act made it illegal to criticize the government—reporters went to jail for doing their jobs.

Madison taught us that freedom of the press guarantees all the others. Attacking journalists is an assault on the truth that sustains our democracy.

To complete President Trump's "Triumphal Arch" by the time he leaves office, the National Park Service plans to have construction take place 20 hours per day over the next two to three years, according to planning documents. https://t.co/HBOjNu569T

Breaking news: Iranians just took down one of our Apache helicopters—after Marco Rubio swore under oath that this war was over.

I’m grateful our service members are safe, but how many more must risk everything because of this administration’s failures and lies?

This is not 'winning.'

Bernie Sanders is once again willing to tell it as it is. It always amuses me when these US tech titans accuse China of training their models on the data that the U.S. models stole from the human intelligence that they knowingly plundered from the Internet.

Every word from Bernie is spot on and we should salute him.

Lest we forget, Open AI is about to go public based on the theft of the talent of others. It’s the largest centralised government complicit heist of human knowledge in the history of mankind.

This bill Bernie is proposing will of course go nowhere because just as Big Pharma, Healthcare Insurers and the fossil fuel industry bought politicians, so have AI. This is why nobody has faith in the legislative process for these industries who have been declared protected species too big to fail.

Democrats are so diabolical and ingenious at rigging elections that Republicans control the presidency, house and senate.
