Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

The โ€œwar-ravagedโ€ Portland only exists in Trumpโ€™s head. My video report paints a very Portland scene of defianceโ€”and dance.

The โ€œwar-ravagedโ€ Portland only exists in Trumpโ€™s head.

@kevinhfoster.bsky.social recently visited the ICE facility and spoke with people there and across Portlandโ€”and the reality of what is happening on the streets is very different than what the administration wishes to portray.

Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

"Weโ€™re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

MAGA thinks the majority will sit there and just accept masked, armed ICE agents to continue terrorizing their streets.

They are wrong.

Dangerous, desperate overreach by a weakened Administration.

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the โ€œreport a speed trapโ€ function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that mightโ€™ve told you the federal government wasnโ€™t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts.

Actually got a comment from the judge: โ€œIs this really how youโ€™re going to move forward?โ€

The men kneeling on this peaceful protester are not ICE. The reality is that the sheer number of people in a city like Chicago means that without the state assisting in its own occupation, these โ€œoperationsโ€ could not succeed. Which certainly begs the question of who serves whom.

Military Leaders Seriously Alarmed by Hegsethโ€™s New Defense Strategy Itโ€™s not just about Defense Secretary Pete Hegsethโ€™s speech to military leadersโ€”thereโ€™s a bigger problem with the Pentagonโ€™s new direction.

Even a Trump loyalist has voiced his displeasure with some of Hegsethโ€™s decisions, particularly his rollout of Trumpโ€™s โ€œAmerica First, Peace Through Strengthโ€ National Defense Strategy.

The initial draft for the strategy was met with widespread disapproval, which is rare. trib.al/1EtcZr3

FACT FOCUS: Democrats did not shut down the government to give health care to 'illegal immigrants' This is false. Democrats say they are pushing for the inclusion of key health care provisions in the next congressional spending package.
