Here's your reminder that border czar Tom Homan, who is terrorizing hard-working immigrants, took $50,000 in an FBI bribery sting. The Trump regime killed the probe, and there’s no indication that Homan paid the money back to the taxpayers – or even paid taxes on the "income."
ms.now
Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

DeSantis exercises ‘unprecedented’ power to label groups ‘domestic terrorists’ Read for free: floridatrib.org/2026/09/29/d...
DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet voted to advance the terrorist designations Tuesday, approving the proposal in just over 30 seconds and with no discussion, under a new state law that has alarmed free speech defenders, student advocates and people of faith. 

The legislation represents another expansion of Florida’s state security apparatus under DeSantis, who has opened pop-up immigration detention centers, re-established the Florida State Guard – of which he is the commander in chief – and created an investigative unit to probe alleged election crimes. The remarkable expansion of police powers has also funneled hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to state vendors, including Republican political donors.

There was no public comment allowed at Tuesday’s meeting in the bowels of the state Capitol building, and when an attorney representing one of the groups ensnared by the designation stood up to try to speak on behalf of her client, the governor took no notice.

We’ve got the inside story of how Trump’s displeasure with seeing homeless people in D.C. became the first domino in a series of actions that culminated in the administration’s stunning decision to weaken the rights of millions of disabled Americans to live in their homes and communities.

How Trump’s homelessness crackdown became a sweeping retreat from disability rights
After issuing a memo making it easier to institutionalize homeless people, the Justice Department began abandoning cases protecting disabled people’s right to live in the community.

Strong and virtuous men deplore the colon. As with its homographic cousin, its overuse signals weakness. Punctuational colons bring "dependent" clauses; biological colons shed our hard-earned waste like Beta men shed their feelings. More men would know this if the schools still taught Plutarch.

Oh for gods sake. First, while it’s true that Florida has the highest ACA enrollment in the country, no, there are not "5 x more people enrolled in Obamacare in Florida than live in the state." Around 19% of the total population is enrolled, which is high but hardly over 100%. 1/5th =/= 5x.
