BREAKING: Rep. Ilhan Omar defiantly responds to Trump’s fascist raid of her home just a few weeks out from the midterms.

He picked a fight with the wrong woman…

“I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement,” Omar wrote on X. “For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.”

“I will not be silenced,” she concluded.

Early this morning, ICE agents raided Omar’s home in Washington, D.C., ostensibly in search of immigration documents, including paperwork that her late father filed when she was just a child.

The Rubicon has been crossed.

Trump is now directing his jackbooted thugs to carry out politically motivated raids on his enemies based on fully fabricated allegations. This is a blatant targeting of Omar because she is an outspoken critic of this regime and, more importantly to the bigoted MAGA base, she’s a Black woman, a Muslim, and an immigrant. They are frothing at the mouth over the prospect of harming her.

This is the kind of thing that you see in crumbling democracies right before the fascists make a concerted effort to permanently seize power. While we can’t say for sure that this tactic will spread, this normalizes sham raids on Democratic politicians and opens the door to a sweeping campaign of state-sponsored terror. Trump knows that he’s headed into an electoral wipeout in the midterms and so he’s desperately reaching deep into the authoritarian playbook.

Expect the administration to push for denaturalizing and deporting Omar next, a longstanding dream of the white nationalist movement. They want to remove every last non-white, non-Christian person from this country but before they can do that they need to demonstrate an ability to strip away citizenship.

Omar isn’t intimidated. Neither can we be. This is the canary in the coal mine. It’s time to take to the streets en masse.

Please ❤️ and share if you proudly stand with Congressman Ilhan Omar!

BREAKING: Ukraine has attacked Russia for the first time with its own domestically produced Ballistic missiles which are already in mass production.

[Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer]

Tom Homan, the man leading Trump’s authoritarian “investigation” of Rep. Ilhan Omar right before the midterm, was caught by the FBI accepting a bribe of $50,000 in cash in a paper bag.

Homan was recorded admitting to the scheme. But Trump’s Justice Department simply dropped the case and covered it up.

The most corrupt presidential administration in history.

GOP Senator breaks with Trump on his diesel deal with Russia:

Obama releases an ad promoting Abdul El-Sayed for Senator.

MAGA heads are exploding.

[The Beaver Program @BeaverProgram]

White House releases modified photos to cover up Donny’s half empty rallies.

Because of course they lie about everything.

Republicans are reportedly panicking after they accidentally spent money on ads supporting Susan Collins in Portland, Oregon instead of Portland, Maine.

Here is the dream team behind the fake story that Talarico secretly went to an Ohio mental health center.

Nick Sortor has an open warrant for his arrest back home in Kentucky for violating probation.

He was convicted of driving while intoxicated, harassing a police officer, stalking a woman, kidnapping her dog, and sexually assaulting her, among other crimes.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Josh Shapiro, who is usually one of the most reserved Governors in America, just UNLOADED on Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump for their plan to hold a public execution. This is a must watch.

I posted this story about the dying MAGA bot armies yesterday, but it gets better by the hour as Ukraine keeps knocking out Russia's troll farms.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Russia has launched 6 ballistic missiles into Kyiv with no air alert and no reported air defence activity, with Ukrainian sources saying the US has now cut intelligence sharing that gives early warning of Russian ballistic launches, per initial reports.

As a result, multiple ballistic missiles impacted the city minutes ago.

The US threatened 3 days ago to cut off all intelligence sharing with Ukraine unless Kyiv halted its strikes on Russian refineries. US detection provides the 3 to 5 minute civilian warning for a ballistic launch from western Russia, and without it that window drops to half or to nothing on many trajectories.

Ken Paxton is selling off Texas — our land, our water, our communities.

Data centers bankroll Paxton, they get tax breaks, and you get stuck with the bill.

We can’t afford Ken Paxton’s corruption.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

The Office of Congresswoman Omar released the following statement:

“This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies. For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back. Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies.”
