The DOJ built its case to seize Fulton County’s election records on recycled, debunked conspiracy theories, experts say. Former prosecutors and election experts are questioning how in the world a judge found probable cause.

‘An absolute travesty': Critics slam affidavit behind Fulton raid for relying on 2020 election lies
The affidavit reinforced fears that the FBI’s seizure was not about uncovering new evidence but about resurrecting a false narrative.

It's not surprising that Lutnik was a business associate of Epstein and is all over the Epstein files. It's not surprising that he lied about it. It is surprising that his lies were so detailed and well thought out. And it is surprising that he didn't realize the truth would be known.

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

Marjory Stephenson was born #OTD in 1885 + Helped establish modern microbial biochemistry + Wrote foundational textbook 𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘔𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘮 (1930), shaping the discipline for decades + Co-founded, Society for General Microbiology + 1 of the first 2 women Fellows, Royal Society, 1945 #WomenInSTEM
A formal, black-and-white portrait photograph of Marjory Stephenson, a British biochemist and one of the first two female Fellows of the Royal Society, taken in April 1945.
The image shows Stephenson seated and turned slightly to the viewer's left, looking directly at the camera. She wears dark, round-rimmed glasses, a black dress, and a strand of pearls. Her hair is styled back off her face. The portrait uses soft lighting and a blurred background, common to the photographic style of the time. The photo was taken by Walter Stoneman for the National Portrait Gallery.

Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex' sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration.

Jim Jordan is now hammering on Cassidy Hutchinson, and how Smith wouldn't use her as a witness in court. The reason isn't because she's a liar, but because her testimony was second-hand. Totally disingenuous of him to consider hearsay a lie.

The equation is simple: you can’t afford healthcare anymore because ICE agents are making 6-figure salaries and $50k signing bonuses. The money is not marked for life, liberty or happiness. It is set aside for state suppression.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
The Gravamen of the Disclosure

4. The gravamen of the disclosure is as follows: 
a. By memorandum dated May 12, 2025 (“the May 12 Memo”), Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter into certain people’s homes without a judicial warrant, consent, or an emergency.

b. Specifically, in the May 12 Memo, the Acting ICE Director authorized ICE Agents to rely on Form I-205 (which is not a judicial warrant) to enter the residence of an alien subject to a final order of deportation, without consent, including by “a necessary and reasonable amount of force.”2c. While addressed to “All ICE Personnel,” in practice the May 12 Memo has not been formally distributed to all personnel. Instead, the May 12 Memo has been provided to select DHS officials who are then directed to verbally brief the new policy for action. Those supervisors then show the Memo to some employees, like our clients, and direct them to read the Memo and return it to the supervisor.
