"I will have an executive order within one week, and it will be very all-encompassing," Trump said. "And we're going to put it forward, and we're going to get sued, and we're going to see how it plays, OK, but I'll have an executive order, which will solve every problem in this room, every conceivable problem, within one week, and we'll put it forward. We will get sued. That's the only thing I know for sure."

Nothing about the "Trump plans executive order to address college sports issues" will prepare you for what he says it's going to be.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

FDAโ€™s controversial vaccine chief will exit agency next month | CNN The US Food and Drug Administrationโ€™s head of vaccines and biologic medicines will leave the agency at the end of April, a spokesperson confirmed to CNN on Friday.

Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasketโ€™s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP โ€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

records from three additional interviews with a woman who accused Trump of sexual assault were "incorrectly coded as duplicative"? oh for sure, definitely passes the smell test

Violent. Anti-Abortion. Anti-Trans. Tweets from Trump's new DHS pick preview more of the same. Sen. Markwayne Mullin new role would grant him leeway to control how detained immigrants receive reproductive or gender-affirming healthcare.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, Trumpโ€™s next pick for Homeland Security secretary, consistently uses his social media to share anti-abortion and anti-trans content.

And his new role could grant him leeway to control how detained immigrants receive reproductive or gender-affirming healthcare.

It speaks of the fascist scapegoating they want to promote at the same time they're trying to pass a bill to deny our constitutional rights and steal elections.

A DOJ source says FBI agents found the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child to be credible:

"They would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying."

People love to hate changing clocks twice a year, but can't agree how to fix it This is the weekend when clocks move ahead, causing angst, lost sleep and health issues for many. Over the last decade, at least 19 states have passed laws to let them stay in daylight saving time if the federal government allows it.

Russia helping Iran target US forces while we help their economy recover with higher oil prices & sales to India so Putin can maintain his war on Ukraine who we are trying to obtain anti-drone tech from to prevent more Iran retaliation.
