You really need to read this to appreciate how deranged it sounds. The standard view that judicial warrants are necessary to forcibly enter residences is blamed on “subversion” by “deep state actors.”

Bannon had a tough weekend with his candidate losing a key election and being exposed as a close collaborator and friend of Epstein. So he's decided to continue his four hours of programming a day without mentioning either of them.

I found a Fox News interview from August 2025 where Border Czar Tom Homan acknowledges that ICE needs a judicial warrant to perform a search of private property -- contrary to an ICE memo that says agents only need an administrative warrant. Curious what he believes now.

Stating the obvious at this point, but the killings by ICE & CBP aren't isolated incidents; they're the product of a culture of contempt for and casual brutality toward civilians.

Every part of this is a lie. He was not at a "protest," he was documenting CPB actions. He did not "take that 9mm and start to engage"; it was holstered. He didn't "resist arrest"—he was pinned and then executed within a matter of seconds. But it's so clearly indefensible they have to lie.

Although guns have been a part of US culture from the beginning, modern right-wing gun culture is downstream of the industry's need for profit, and they do that by selling a fantasy of right-wing violence against left wingers, Pretti doesn't fit that fantasy

1) Melugin slips in here something Fox has repeatedly contradicted on-air: Pretti never drew his gun. 2) Melugin is on Homan’s side of his ongoing schism with Noem/Bovino over enforcement tactics, trying to preserve the mass deportation project.

Fox News once postured as the patriotic opposition to purported government tyranny. Right now, its primary purpose is to explain to viewers why it is good that masked agents of the state are executing Americans on the street.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

Recall that a district court wrote a lengthy and closely reasoned opinion blocking DOGE's access to sensitive SSA data after extensive briefing. The Fourth Circuit agreed. Then SCOTUS threw that out with no explanation in a two-page emergency order.

Roundup of the insane rhetoric coming from the right at the moment. It's remarkable how *little* violence we've seen from protesters, given the feds' aggression. Maybe I've missed something, but the worst I've seen is people throwing snowballs. The MN weather has injured more cops than protesters.
