Federal agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home in Washington, D.C., this morning, just three weeks before the midterm elections. The search was carried out by Homeland Security Investigations, a branch of ICE.

The Trump regime wants to make it illegal to criticize Trump. They want to end freedom of speech and free and fair elections.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.
Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

Yes. Official materials say President Trump's name appears in the released Epstein-related files. A mention is not proof of a crime.

Does the president have the unilateral authority to tear down large parts of the White House?

No. Federal law does not give the President unlimited power to demolish or rebuild large parts of the White House on his own. I cannot give legal advice.
Main legal limit
• Congress has plenary authority over federal property and the District of Columbia.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.
