Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

Trump posts racist image of Obamas, White House defends it and slams 'fake outrage' The depiction of the Obamas, posted from Trump's Truth Social account, was included in a video pushing a conspiracy theory about 2020 election voting machines.

Wow. The White House is officially *defending* filthy racist imagery of the Obamas as monkeys or apes and dismissing β€œfake outrage.” The masks are now 100 percent off, friends. At this moment, the Trump administration is not just de facto racist, but officially, openly, declaredly racist.

A graphic comparing President Obama and President Trump's comments at the National Prayer Breakfast.

2016 National Prayer Breakfast (Obama): "For me, and I know for so many of you, faith is the great cure for fear."

2026 National Prayer Breakfast (Trump): "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I really have a big ego."

People are making fun of him for this, but I feel pretty confident that the new Trump Kennedy Center will be as much of a success as the Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Vodka, Trump Shuttle, Trump Mortgage, Trump Steaks, and Trump University.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

US citizen says ICE removed him from his Minnesota home in his underwear after warrantless search Federal immigration agents have detained a U.S. citizen in Minnesota at gunpoint without a warrant. That's according to ChongLy β€œScott” Thao, who says agents forced open his door, entered with guns drawn and led him outside in his underwear in freezing conditions.

Federal immigration agents forced open a door and detained a U.S. citizen in his Minnesota home at gunpoint without a warrant, then led him out onto the streets in his underwear in subfreezing conditions, according to his family and videos reviewed by The Associated Press.

MAGA can't whitewash what happened on January 6, 2021 because of the uncontradicted J6 Report and because the insurrectionists themselves photographed and videotaped their crimes.

We’ll continue to tell the story of how brave police officers defended the Capitol against Trump’s rampaging mob.

Donald Trump is doing such a great job as β€œActing President of Venezuela” that the U.S. embassy is warning Americans to evacuate immediately.

Trump sucks at running Venezuela and he sucks at running the United States.

Ted Cruz’s mailbox is full. I called to demand that he grow a pair and stop ICE from kicking down people’s doors & snatching them without a warrant. This is America, not Russia. Maybe he & his staff will get this message? Download the 5calls app to call your senators and rep right now. #HoldTheLine
