Federal Agents Search Home of Rep. Ilhan Omar
The search takes place within the 60-day window of the midterm elections, when the Justice Department has historically avoided such investigative steps related to political candidates.

Opinion | The DOJ is using Trump’s media ban to test a dangerous legal theory
Caitlin Vogus: The Trump administration could be empowered to prosecute journalists, not just ban them from the White House, if a court accepts the Justice Department’s national security argument.

The government of Israel is not the Jewish people. It’s a corrupt government just like the American government is a corrupt government, but I love my country.

I really don’t care what you think. For 5000 years people have been finding a reason to go after Jewish people. I’m not a Zionist. Your country did horrific things to indigenous people there as well so look to your own past October 7 was a terrorist attack on Israeli citizens.

You don’t know anything about me. I am appalled & horrified at the genocide of Palestinians. Some people are complex & can have 2 thoughts at once. You can support Israel & consider Netanyahu & those who are following him criminals. Just like in America. I love my country and detest my government.

City Hall’s lawyers made a list, then tracked who came looking for it. Plus: an HHS study that only asked about one side’s violence, and the clipboard that beat Trump.
