Chasing farmworkers with Blackhawk helicopters. How is not a scene out of the Hunger Games come to life?

Quote:
Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff

President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

Trump gets booed at the Kennedy Center.


Quote:
Hoodlum 🇺🇸 @NotHoodlum

Donald Trump is at the Kennedy Center to see Les Misérables, Victor Hugo's classic about redemption and rebellion against injustice. Once again, irony has escaped Donald Taco-Rico.


Quote:
Catherine Rampell @crampell

"It was probably not the reception the president was hoping for with his debut at the cultural center he took over and now chairs — half full, half booing, and with a strong contingent of drag queens."

Unfreakingbelievable.

Thomas Kennedy @tomaskenn

A boat transporting individuals to a Telemundo party celebrating one year out from the World Cup was boarded by the coast guard. They checked the immigration status of the staff on the boat. The mayor of Miami-Dade, FIFA officials, and Telemundo leadership were present.

MAGA did this all during his first term

We can all remember seeing the people seated behind him looking so out of place and looking like they cannot believe they signed up for this (bleep).. lol

They better screen those soldiers really good considering the weapons they will have at their disposal that day

It is so (bleep) weird that ITs birthday lines up with the anniversary of the military.. knowing maga clowns created a conspiracy out of it.

Ongoing cyberattack at US grocery distributor giant UNFI affecting customer orders
link
Quote:
On the company’s post-results conference call, Douglas said UNFI is “continuing to safely bring our systems back online and restore broad-based customer service as soon as possible.”

The company, which is the primary distributor for Amazon-owned Whole Foods, and supplies over 250,000 grocery store products, including frozen goods, disclosed on Monday that it had identified unauthorized access to its IT systems. Douglas said on its call Tuesday that the company has since shut down its entire network.



One of the first things Trump did was shutdown cybersecurity against Russia...

>>>>faux credit cards labeled "White Privilege Card: Trumps Everything."<<<<


Bragg Soldiers Who Cheered Trump's Political Attacks While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance, Appearance
Militarydotcom
Quote:
Adding to the spectacle, a pop-up shop operated by 365 Campaign, a Tulsa, Oklahoma-based retailer that sells pro-Trump and other conservative-coded memorabilia, was set up on-site with campaign-style merchandise on Army property. Soldiers were seen purchasing clothing and tchotchkes, including "Make America Great Again" chain necklaces to faux credit cards labeled "White Privilege Card: Trumps Everything."

Permitting the sale of overtly partisan merchandise on an Army base likely runs afoul of numerous Defense Department regulations aimed at preserving the military's long-standing commitment to political neutrality. The Army has historically gone to great lengths to avoid even the appearance of partisanship.

Parnell did not respond to follow-up questions about the sale of MAGA campaign gear directly to troops but Col. Mary Ricks, a spokesperson for Fort Bragg, said that “the vendor’s presence is under review to determine how it was permitted and to prevent similar occurrences in the future” in a statement provided after this story was first published.

Trump used much of his speech to slam California Democrats and tout his ongoing and unprecedented surge of nearly 5,000 federalized Guard soldiers and Marines to quell immigration protests.

"We will liberate Los Angeles and make it free, clean and safe again," he proclaimed to soldiers, adding that Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass are "incompetent" and falsely said they're aiding "insurrectionists" while goading troops into booing them.

Trump is now selling "Trump Cards" for $5M each on official government website and they appear to be VIP Green Cards for foreigners to purchase to enter the US under VIP status. They will put your name on a "waiting list."

There is no bottom.

She should be liberated from her job. Every Democrat should demand her immediate resignation. And I've been sending that message to each and every one of them via Twitter.

Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom

If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you.

Quote:
Homeland Security @DHSgov

Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.

Mr. Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers’ repeated commands. @SecretService thought he was an attacker and officers acted appropriately.

Secretary Noem met with Senator Padilla after and held a 15 minute meeting.


Quote:
Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice

“Didn’t identify himself”? It’s the FIRST THING out of his mouth in the video.

You’ve detained a mayor. A judge. A union leader. Now a U.S. Senator.

You’ve deployed Marines on U.S. soil.

If a President did this abroad, we'd have a word for it: Dictator.

My note: they used the full word for bullcrap, unedited.

Jason Kirk @JasonKirk_fyi

Before they dragged out Padilla, Noem said, "We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country." Sounds close to declaring a regime-change attempt on millions of Americans


If they are trying to provoke a civil war, let's see how long the Feds and Red States last without Blue States financing them.

There better be a massive turnout for No Kings demonstrations this Saturday. You may never get another chance to protest.

Quote:
Alex Padilla @AlexPadilla4CA

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up.

I will not stop fighting to demand accountability on behalf of the people of California.
