I'm trying to give up this hellsite. You can find me on Bluesky as Tortured Typewriter

Update from original post. The homeowners ordered doordash. ICE followed the doordashers and managed to get the husband, but the wife made it into the house.
A follow-up from the homeowner confirms the woman is safe.
Don't let them in, just keep asking for a judicial warrant
ICE chase woman to stranger's house—she calls police who tell her she "has to give her up."
At last minute she refuses—orders agents off her property.
"I'm Native American this goes against everything I stand for!"
"They shot a woman yesterday... and you have hand on your gun! Get off my yard!"
The woman filming was at home with her partner and 18 month old baby—with 3 more children at school.
Police told her she would be charged with "harboring a fugitive"—even though the ICE agents had no warrant.
The incident occurred in St. Paul, Minnesota. #DemsUnited

I can't believe he didn't keel over from irony poisoning on the spot
Trump: Freedom of speech means you can burn the flag which I think is horrible… That's been argued a couple times. You know what hasn’t been argued and we’re going to be arguing it soon is they incite violence… You do the same exact thing, don’t use freedom of speech… I hope you guys are going to be able to do that Pam.

I keep seeing people referencing 'his friends and family said he's a leftist'
Is there any comment from friends or family or is this fiction?

I'd love an answer, considering he's (unfortunately) my congressman
Why is Andy Biggs blocking the release of the Epstein files? I'm serious, why isn't Biggs voting to release the entire file today? You've been demanding the release for years. Why isn't Andy taking steps to release the file and hold people accountable?

Oh, yay. Two new terrorist designations to misuse.
Big news coming out today in the FBI’s efforts to rid the U.S. of Foreign Terrorist Organizations…
Two new groups now fall under the FTO designation—Los Choneros and Los Lobos. Both are criminal organizations based in Ecuador that are responsible for significant drug and firearms trafficking and acts of extreme violence.
The @FBI, along with our partners within the newly established Homeland Security Task Force, played a crucial role in helping get this designation by providing critical intelligence to support. You may remember, the leader of the Los Choneros, José Adolfo “Fito” Macías Villamar, was extradited to Brooklyn in July to face international drug and gun charges. These groups being added to this designation reinforces our commitment to disrupting terrorist networks and protecting our nation.
This will allow the FBI and our partners to continue to strike at violent groups that exploit the drug trade to fund operations and push dangerous drugs into the American communities. We WILL cut off their resources and reduce their ability to harm people both here at home and abroad.
God bless America, and all those who defend Her.

One of my favorite LegalEagle contributors, Liz Dye, has written about all the ways that Pam Bondi has perverted the Department of Justice.

I'll never not retweet this clip when I come across it.

When you already know something, but then you see it in black and white and you're appalled all over again.
These documents contain numerous details that not only corroborate the whistleblower’s claims but also highlight the Justice Department’s efforts to mislead a federal court and disregard its orders.

Hoping a nuanced, logical, left-leaning person with knowledge can help me cut through the bullshit, because I am not well-versed in UK politics, policing, or immigration attitudes. A lifelong friend (also in the US) shared a bunch of stuff about protests/s*x crimes today...

I'm not defending stabbing people or whacking them with bats, but has anyone figured out why those are the examples Trump keeps giving of Americans worthy of being jailed abroad or stripped of citizenship? Kind of seems like small potatoes for such an unprecedented punishment.

Is this recent or old? He made good arguments. Hopefully it sways his audience.
He's always been more left than right. Covid broke a lot of brains, seems to have disproportionately affected men. Feeling powerless made them all seek masculine reassurance and re-assertion.
