Imagine printing "America First" and then immediately putting another country first in the same sentence. Another reminder that MAGA runs on slogans. These people are idiots.
So not only did an ICE agent shoot an unarmed man in the back of a van and lie about it, they’ve detained three eyewitnesses and are pressuring them to self-deport so they don’t testify. This is horrifying shit.
They knew about Corinthian columns when they built the WH. They chose the simpler Doric on purpose, because the WH is not supposed to be an ornate, gilded palace of a mad king.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father of three. He lived in Houston for 35 years.
On his way to work, ICE agents shot and killed him. His family learned from a video posted online.
There must be accountability. We need a full, independent investigation.
Mitch McConnell is reportedly brain dead. The journalist who broke his cardiac arrest is at the hospital waiting for them to move his body. Her name is Desirée Townsend.
She's the independent reporter who obtained the EMS scanner audio confirming paramedics performed CPR at McConnell's D.C. home on June 14. NBC and CBS spent a week catching up to her.
Yesterday she tweeted that she's physically at the hospital, that multiple sources have told her the 84-year-old senator has been declared brain dead, and that his Capitol Police detail was still there as of 3:39pm ET.
Laura Loomer posted the same claim, citing a White House source. McConnell's office will not confirm or deny. They insist he is "continuing to improve."
The brain-death claim is not yet verified. Here's what is.
McConnell has been hospitalized for three straight weeks with no public explanation.
His office has never said why he was admitted. His last vote was June 11.
His wife Elaine Chao was photographed in Beijing meeting the Chinese vice president three days after her husband collapsed. She has not come home.
His daughter deactivated her X account.
Neighbors of his D.C. townhouse say no one has come or gone since the ambulance took him away. Not family. Not staff.
Kentucky's Democratic Governor Andy Beshear says McConnell's office is not returning his calls.
Now the politics.
Kentucky Republicans quietly rewrote the state's succession law in 2024. If McConnell's seat opens, Beshear cannot appoint a replacement. A special election gets triggered instead.
And the timing matters. If he can't finish his term after August 3, the special election just rolls into November. Before August 3, the GOP has to hold a standalone race.
They’re watching the calendar.
The election they're trying to avoid is the GOP's nightmare. Thomas Massie, the Republican congressman who has become one of Trump's loudest critics, would be a heavy favorite to run and split the red vote wide open.
Every day they hide McConnell's condition is a day they don't have to hold that race.
Whatever is actually happening in that hospital room, this is the picture from outside it: a senator who has not been seen in three weeks, a wife who left the country, a family that has gone dark, a governor being frozen out, and a party racing the clock on a succession law they wrote themselves.
Townsend is still at the hospital.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were caught, on video, entering a U.S. citizen’s home without a warrant, tackling the father to the ground, while pinning down his 15-year-old grandson.
As the family repeatedly told agents they were U.S. citizens, and demanded to see a warrant, the agents ignored them.
The daughter began recording and repeatedly asked to see a warrant, but they refused. She also told agents her father is diabetic, and that the teenager they were restraining was only 15 years old.
The agents continued to arrest both U.S. citizens from their home, without a warrant, eventually releasing the child but taking the father.
The Fourth Amendment prohibits government agents from entering a home without a judicial warrant.
If federal agents can force their way into a U.S. citizen’s home, ignore repeated demands to produce a warrant, and use force without lawful authority, they aren’t just violating one family’s rights… they’re undermining one of the core constitutional principles America was founded on.
A free country depends on the government being bound by the Constitution. If those limits can be ignored without consequences, we are no longer a free country.
The following 3 House Republicans are currently being accused of assault or sexual harassment:
Cory Mills
Chuck Edwards
Max Miller
Are you going to call for their resignations, @GOP?
ICE fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during a Houston enforcement operation. His family says he was a hardworking father on his way to work. This is a deadly pattern at DHS: no transparency, no oversight, no accountability. We demand an independent investigation.
Republican candidate Ken Paxton has likely committed voter fraud, after using a false address in 6 different elections.
Paxton is campaigning on ending "illegal voting."
