ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

Hungary's defeated Viktor Orban was burning up the phone lines ... the latest from Polymarket.

The pope debating the tyrant is my kind of "pay for" TV event.

This report puts Rogan's advocacy for the felon-in-chief in stark relief.

Not a few Americans are hopeful too.

More "tough talk" from the TACO-in-chief.

Writing on the wall. Step aside and own up Swalwell.

Perfect! Pirro couldn't indict the sandwich tosser.

This is what MAGA feels like ... in the pit of your stomach.

War crimes as photo ops.

Lest We Forget @irishstar.com ... According to the felon-in-chief, the RNC was a "love fest."

Trump setting up US military for a "mass casualty event" (aka Americans KIA) in the Gulf. Wonder how prediction markets see it.

This is what MAGA feels like ... at the pump. #Affordability #Inflation #TrumpRecession

The tyrant is tired of winning ... again.
