Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. 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.

We're "buying Russian diesel" because Trump wants the American people to believe that Putin is our friend and Zelensky our enemy and that is all.

This story makes it sound like the major problem is that the Trump Admin did this w/in 60 days of an election. Yes, that's a real abuse. But the major problem is they're basically threatening to denaturalize an opposition legislator, based on racist insinuations. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

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.

Corporate Media has two choices here: either cover this immigration raid on Rep Omar as if it were a normal action within the rule-of-law OR call it out as an insane attack by Trump on his political enemies. Yet even @huffpost.com is choosing collaboration in this article.

Trump's DHS raids Rep. Omar's home because of paperwork filled out by her late father in 1995. The Trumpists are desperate. But loyalists at powerful agencies of the executive branch will obey orders. Desperation is dangerous. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

It's very significant that the raid against Omar was conducted by HSI. That means that whatever justified the warrant isn't related to corruption or misconduct. They're specifically looking for evidence that she committed immigration fraud so they can denaturalize and deport her.

We've been boiled frogs for so long this never gets mentioned. But this violates DOJ policies that have been in place for decades, ones that Defense Attorney Todd Blanche said should have extended for the entirety of the time his client had declared his candidacy. (Tho I think this was DHS.)

The discourse on antisemitism in the country is such that Mike Rogers can simultaneously attack Abdul El-Sayed *as* antisemitic, as a scary foreign Muslim critic of Israel, and also *with* antisemitism, as a tool of the foreign-born Jewish puppeteer.
"LEAKED: Footage of Abdul El-Sayed fundraising last night in the California home of the far-left Soros family. 

Abdul’s education was paid for by the Soros family and NOW they are funding his campaign to make him a U.S. Senator 

The Soros family is funding Abdul because he will carry out their agenda of: 

➡️ defunding the police 
➡️ emptying prisons, and letting violent criminals & sex offenders back onto the streets 
➡️ gender transition surgeries for minors 
➡️ allowing illegals to vote in American elections 

Abdul is too extreme for Michigan."
