Trump has one rule: whatever he attacks someone else for, give him time. He’ll end up doing the exact same damn thing. Hypocrisy is his only consistent position.

In an Uber. Driver having loud phone conversation with someone in Spanish. A little annoying, but it happens. He hangs up. Says, “Mi hermano. La Migra.” And starts weeping.

There is nothing in the Constitution that forbids the military from storing missiles and drones in a traffic circle. So it’s hard to understand the Left’s objection to President Trump’s bold new plan for his triumphal arch. by Jonathan Turley

I’m a former in-house lawyer for Harvard. During my recent role as DEI Director at UCLA, I fixated my AuDHD brain on digesting, analyzing and memorizing Project 2025. Since then, unfortunately every one of my political predictions has come to pass. P2025 is 55% complete. The last 1/2 is terrifying.

Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.

Three police officers pulled up to a nightclub where a man was stomping on a young woman. The officers stopped the attack and arrested him. Officer Xavier Jimenez, who wrote the report, said: “There were approximately 15 National Guard members in the area who did not take any action.”

Thousands of soldiers now roam Washington’s streets. They seldom stop crime.
Statistics show that National Guard troops deployed to D.C. have been mentioned in 1.3% of criminal cases, with dozens of cases listing them as victims.

Whoa. That 3.4% jump we heard about in LA’s homelessness population was an “accounting quirk”. 📌 Skid Row’s shelter data inflated Los Angeles’ 2026 homeless count, turning a modest citywide rise into a more alarming increase.

"Tonk" is a Border Patrol slur that refers to the sound a metal flashlight makes when used to beat a migrant in the head. And that's the word that Border Patrol agents under the direct command of Greg Bovino were using when bragging about their arrests in Los Angeles last year.
New court filings detail immigration agents in Los Angeles referring to potential targets using racial slurs.
Civil rights groups are asking a federal judge to bar an “ongoing campaign of suspicionless and discriminatory” stops in the Central District of California.
Immigration agents who descended on Los Angeles last summer referred to Latinos using slurs like “tonk” and “wet,” according to body camera footage and text messages detailed in a court filing asking a federal judge to bar agents from making stops based on racial profiling.

After a June raid at Home Depot in Hollywood, body camera footage captured an agent saying: “There was a guy, I’m pretty sure he’s wet he was just sitting in that minivan.” A text chain revealed an agent referring to “tonks everywhere selling food” — using a word reportedly derived from the sound an agent’s utility flashlight makes when hitting a migrant’s head. In a video, an agent said, “Yeah, just plug us in wherever you see some tonks and we’ll jump out.”
