And it begins, ICE KIDNAPPINGS from planes...
🔥An unidentified, masked ICE agent removed two American citizens from a plane in Texas—no warrant or articulated probable cause, just threats. This raises serious concerns about unlawful detention and abuse of federal authority. We should ALL be paying attention. #press #ice
“You had to be blind not to see it.” — Epstein Island architect Robert Couturier.
“I immediately understood… it was for the girls,” Couturier recalled.
Bunk beds. Pink rooms. Heavy, dark curtains in a beach house—windows always shut. A place where “you couldn’t leave.”
“I was interrogated… and nothing happened. We could have saved so many young women.”
In a heated exchange, Rep Ted Lieu pressed Pam Bondi on rape allegations related to Trump.
According to a witness statement, a limo driver alleged that he met a girl who said she was raped by Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. She later had her head blown off, and officers at the scene said that could not have been suicide.
Lieu: the DOJ never even interviewed this witness.
Why wasn’t this investigated? If even part of this is true, it’s a devastating failure of justice. #epstein
57 House members—and a record 36 Republicans—are retiring ahead of the midterms, the largest GOP exodus in nearly a century.
Not just backbenchers: committee chairs, national security veterans, and longtime incumbents are walking away—even from safe seats.
Hard to ignore: this looks like reps cashing out from Trump’s tornado.

“There’s a real risk the U.S. could lose its military supremacy…”
Ukraine is pumping out millions of drones a year.
Russia is using them at scale.
The battlefield is going autonomous 🤖
“We’re going to face these same systems…”
Except—we already are.
Iran is deploying drone swarms TODAY.
Cheap tech is rewriting warfare.
The U.S. isn’t ready. 🛸💥

$1.4B–$2.9B in losses in just 3 weeks.
U.S. military assets are taking serious hits in the Iran war:
• A $300M missile-defense radar struck
• A $1 BILLION early-warning radar damaged
• 3 F-15E jets downed (friendly fire)
• 1 F-35 forced into emergency landing
• 1 tanker destroyed + multiple damaged
• Dozens of drones lost
And this war is just getting started...

Can’t wait to see Trump’s Truth Social posts tonight… 🍿
Millions of seniors paid into the system their whole lives—
Now they’re being dropped when care gets expensive.
Medicare Advantage sold “free” perks. Now insurers are pulling out to protect profits.
600,000 cut by UnitedHealthcare alone—to “reinvigorate profit.”
Nearly 3 MILLION forced to scramble.
“What can I do?”
“There’s not a damn thing we could do.”
This isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as designed.

BREAKING: Trump said he would sign an emergency order to immediately pay TSA agents.
Trump announced his decision in a social media post saying he wanted to quickly stop the “Chaos at the Airports.”
“It is not an easy thing to do, but I am going to do it!”

George Conway: “They’re sweating bullets.”
Republicans know what’s coming.
Even Ted Cruz reportedly warned Trump they’d get slaughtered in the fall elections. Trump’s response? “F you.”
Trump has no plan for Iran & not plan for anything.
Just chaos — and they know it. #press
What’s driving it? “It’s just… everything.”
A new war with Iran—American troops killed. Gas up. Groceries up. Tariffs hitting everything.
Immigration crackdowns. Rights rolled back. TSA lines stretching for hours. A govt in chaos.
“Even introverts showed up.” That tells you everything.

Air traffic controller: “It was not good.”
A dangerous close call near LA—a United flight with 168 people onboard had to level off mid-landing after a military Black Hawk helicopter crossed directly in front of it.
Just 525 ft vertically and 0.27 miles apart.
Pilots saw it. Alerts went off. Both aircraft landed safely. The FAA is now investigating.

BREAKING: Because nothing says “humble public servant” like putting your autograph on literally every dollar bill in circulation. 🇺🇸💸
Yes, in honor of America’s 250th birthday, President Donald Trump’s signature may soon be coming to a wallet near you—because apparently statues, buildings, golf courses, and social media weren’t quite enough surface area. The narcissiscism knows no bounds.
Trump has already spent over $101 million of taxpayer money on golf trips since 2025.
That’s 110 days on the course.
56 trips to his own properties.
More than 1 out of every 4 days.
And this is happening while gas prices are up, people are struggling to get by, and U.S. troops are being deployed as tensions with Iran escalate. He’s on track to hit $300 million.
And yeah — we’re the ones paying for it.

Drone swarms over Louisiana — not a test, not a drill. They breached airspace over a critical U.S. bomber base and disrupted operations.
Meanwhile, overseas, 13 U.S. bases have been hit so hard by drone and missile attacks that are reportedly uninhabitable — troops pushed out of their own facilities.
We are not ready for drone warfare. Not even close.

CLIFF RESCUE: She thought it was just a cold plunge.
Moments later, Maxime Rancourt was fighting for her life — dragged into violent currents, clawing onto jagged rocks, stuck on the edge of a 70-foot tall cliff above the Pacific Ocean. For 30 minutes.
A stranger saw her. Called 911.
“Thank you for saving my life… because of you, I have a future.”

BREAKING: Not what you want to hear on a protective detail.
A Secret Service agent accidentally shot himself while on duty near Philadelphia International Airport during an assignment tied to Jill Biden.
He was transported to the hospital and is in stable condition. No one else was injured. https://apnews.com/article/jill-biden-secret-service-agent-injured-d5fa0cc9ec8959a0936c789f28f4199e #press
"Donald Trump used to brag about grabbing women by the crotch. Now he’s grabbing the world by its axis. 'When you’re a star, you can do anything.'"
From putting his signature on U.S. currency
To stamping his name across institutions
Launching a war with Iran
Blowing up alleged drug boats
Snatching Nicolás Maduro out of his bedroom in a raid
Talking about “taking” Cuba
Eyeing Greenland like it’s up for grabs
Whether it’s a country, a coastline, or the presidency—nothing is off limits.
JUST IN: Airport lines. Missed paychecks. Americans stuck.
Senate just passed a DHS funding deal to end the chaos — but NO new restrictions on ICE (no mask bans, no warrant rules, nothing).
After deaths, after outrage… still no accountability. Crisis “fixed”… or just kicked down the runway? ✈️ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/03/27/dhs-funding-house-tsa/ #press
Trump: “I always like to just hang around with losers because it makes me feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful… I like people that like to listen to my success.” Ego over everything. #press
BREAKING: Tiger Woods crashes, rolls his SUV, and gets arrested.
