ALERT: Professional news. Nine days after leaving CBS, I have found a new professional home: Chief Washington Correspondent and Anchor for @meidastouch.com

SEVEN. That’s how many strikes hit near the Iranian girls’ school. Video shows a tomahawk missile hitting a building next to the school. The kind of “precision” you get when an incompetent administration runs a war on outdated intelligence. Don’t look away —we should all see the deadly destruction

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

The Conference of Catholic Bishops is... not playing around in this brief. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

Incel slang is now so ingrained in the mainstream discourse that its origins have been obscured. How did we get here?

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

No grand jurors found the Trump DOJ met low probable cause threshold in failed indictment of Democratic lawmakers www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

This is from Georgia Fort’s video. DEA?!? Gotta be a “task force.”

Even a doomed-to-fail impeachment effort offers Democrats some advantages. Remember: Democrats are in a content-creation war with the Trump regime. There’s no reason an impeachment effort can’t be a kaleidoscopic panoply of Trumpian misdeeds presented to the public. trib.al/fXmkl4O

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was the victim’s name. He was a nurse. ICE executed a nurse. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

At a time of unprecedented daily scandals, this this whistleblower complaint, and the memo it reveals for the first time, breaks through for me as beyond the pale. It's the federal government conspiring in secret to subvert the Fourth Amendment. Read it here: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

In a sign of how explosive ICE knew this secret memo would be, one whistleblower says he was only allowed to read the memo and was barred from taking written notes, and warned that employees had been punished for disagreeing. At least one ICE instructor resigned rather than teach the illegal memo!

In short, this secret memo explains SO MUCH of what we've been seeing over the last months, including this raid of a home in Minneapolis where ICE officers presented no judicial warrant before breaking in the door. Turns out they were secretly told they don't need one!

This is the Trump administration trashing the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution in pursuit of its mass deportation agenda. Worse, a footnote to this memo suggest they won't even rule out authorizing home invasions with no judicial warrant for people not even ordered removed!

The memo cites no legal authority, only a further secret DHS's General Counsel (replaced in the early days with a Trump loyalist) opinion saying administrative warrants filled out by an ICE officer are sufficient to break into homes of people ordered removed. Here's what such a warrant looks like.

Chillingly, the whistleblower says that ICE trainers were directed (no paper trail?) to train all of ICE's new recruits that these administrative warrants authorize breaking into peoples' homes, even though DHS's own training materials still make clear that's illegal!

ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door. It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.

Mischief Toys is a plaintiff in the lawsuit against the Trump administration seeking to hold his tariffs unconstitutional 🤔🤔🤔

Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights. We're still handing out free whistles. And we just got in hundreds of new yard signs. Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

The Michigan auto worker who was flipped off by Trump after heckling him has reportedly been suspended

A Minnesota state representative said two Richfield Target employees detained by U.S. Border Patrol on Jan. 8 were U.S. citizens and were both injured in the incident.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

People Magazine is incredibly clear eyed about ICE being a terrorist organization. I’ll probably buy a subscription because of it:

Clear-eyed, fact-based, and written to explain to normies. No “both sidesing.” No “Trump officials disagree.” No gaslighting that what we can see with our own eyes might not be true. This is journalism. Well done, @people.com

The New York Times released a forensic analysis of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. The video completely refutes the Trump administration’s BS.

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

MS NOW fact checks Vance: He said that the officer would have immunity. There are many instances where officers are in jail because of the way they handled situations. He suggested this should be only a federal investigation. There is a long history of state investigators working with federal ones

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened: -- a second strike against Venezuela -- Cuba -- Mexico -- Colombia -- Iran -- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

CNN: We have major breaking news. CNN just learning of explosions in Caracas, Venezuela… We have now have CNN's own teams that have personally witnessed explosions.

AI and Race Science: How plans for “racial hierarchy”, “genetic optimisation” and “population culling” are circulating inside the billionaire Epstein and Big Tech networks

Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.” It’s almost as if there were signs!

While watching the Ken Burns documentary on the American Revolution this week on @pbs.org, I kept wondering why so many words with 's' in the original documents from the era looked like they were replaced with an 'f'. It was really the long s! 🤯 prologue.blogs.archives.gov/2021/12/14/t...

Great piece on Trump's 'Quiet, piggy' moment. This phrase could be the new shorthand way to explain how abusers silence their victims. Keep quiet or be punished cruelly. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/19/h...
