As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: "Thousands of Ukrainian children have been abducted...Every single child has to go back to their family. This should be one of our main priorities in these negotiations to make sure the children come back to Ukraine."

Is there any proof that these men were “federal agents”? The video labels them that but the post notes they were masked and unidentified. Looks like an attempted carjacking, not anything resembling an arrest. They ask for badges and the guy silently puts on black gloves?

STOP conceding that Trump can legitimately expand grab by deploying baseless claims of “emergency.” There was NO EMERGENCY to justify tariffs. There was NO “INVASION” to justify this migrant crackdown. And there is NO “EMERGENCY” that justifies military takeover of local law enforcement in D.C.

A man understandably refused to hand over his ID or get out of the car for a bunch of masked thugs who refused to identify themselves. And when he drove away, they opened fire on him. This isn’t how you do any sort of enforcement when your goal is to uphold the law. This is gangsterism.

How is anyone supposed to reasonably believe these people are law enforcement? They're masked, anyone can buy a CBP hat and a POLICE patch, and why would a real gov't agent wear insignia suggesting they're both federal border patrol AND state/local police? They're dressed like amateur carjackers.
