Judges across the country are losing patience with the Trump administration and their prosecutors, and they aren't hesitating to let them know it. So far this week, two different federal judges have had to threaten prosecutors and officials with sanctions and contempt for lying in court filings about ICE detainees. Trump's people genuinely believe that they are above the law and can lie all they want, and while that may fly in the media, it isn't working in court.

According to a new analysis, the Department of Homeland Security has illegally or otherwise wrongfully detained no fewer than 2,300 people in the last 6 months. This comes out to an average of a little more than 12 people being wrongfully detained each day of the second half of 2025. They have no idea what they're doing or who they are supposed to be apprehending - and the only thing worse than that is that they simply don't care.

Donald Trump offered an absolutely insane, but kind of hilarious, excuse as to why he keeps falling asleep during cabinet meetings. Rather than admitting that he's up all night and just can't physically stay awake, the President decided to blame his bouts of narcolepsy on his cabinet officials. Trump said that these people are "boring as hell," and that's why he struggles to keep his eyes open during meetings - though he insisted that he's still paying attention and that closing his eyes is a "listening mechanism."

Multiple agents with ICE have been caught on video since the killing of Alex Pretti where they have threatened the lives of other protesters (which also happened after the death of Renee Good.) These men feel like they can do whatever they want to whomever they want, and they are letting everyone know that. Agents have also been caught following protesters to their homes and threatening them where they live. These people are pure evil, and there is no excuse for these Nazis to be on our streets or employed by the government.

The Winter Olympics are set to begin next week in Milan, Italy, and Donald Trump has already created massive problems by sending ICE agents to act as security during the event. Italian lawmakers, including the mayor of Milan, are furious that Trump has sent his "death squad" to their country, and they are speaking out. ICE has already created furor in Italy after threatening an Italian journalist who was covering the story of them even being in the country. The rest of the world sees the danger of these lunatics, so why can't more Americans see it?

Donald Trump proudly boasted last week that he had agreed to a "framework for a future deal" with regard to Greenland, and now he's already trying to change the terms. This is likely due to the fact that most people in the US pointed out that he got nothing from his supposed deal, so now he's demanding that US military bases in Greenland be considered American territory - and Denmark and Greenland aren't happy with his demands.

A documentary about the life of Melania Trump is set to release this coming Friday, and it has somehow already managed to be a box office bomb BEFORE even being released. Users on social media are pointing out that tickets at their local theaters are all still available, meaning that no one seems willing to fork over money to watch the story of a wealthy, privileged, and callous woman as they struggle to afford basic necessities. The film creators REALLY failed to read the room on this one.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed to New York Magazine who he avoids looking like a weak and pathetic coward when he's around Donald Trump. The solution to his problem is actually so much worse, because Rubio admitted that he wraps himself completely in a blanket and hides from Trump aboard Air Force One. Again, he does this so Trump doesn't think that he's weak, but there's nothing weaker than hiding from an elderly dementia patient.

A judge in Minnesota has ordered the Trump administration to submit a clear and honest explanation to the court about why federal agents are crawling all over the state. Pam Bondi made it sound like the ICE invasion is because Minnesota is not giving in to her demands for the state's voting rolls, while others in the administration have suggested that it is because of the ongoing fraud investigation, and still others maintain that it is about roving gangs of Somali immigrants. The truth now has to come out, thanks to the judge's order.

During his interview with New York Magazine that was published this week, Donald Trump blasted his own doctors for causing the public to discuss his failing health. Trump claimed that the only reason he had an MRI was because he was "right next to the machine" anyway, and his doctors thought that it might be fun to just do it. He and Karoline Leavitt then appeared to force one of his doctors to lie and say that he is healthier than Barack Obama ever was, and that statement alone should cost the doctor his medical license.

Conservative ideology is dismantling America right at this moment, and Republican voters have a choice - Do they pretend this is all normal even though it isn't, or do they finally own up to their mistakes and vow to never let it happen again? From both economic and humanitarian standpoints, conservatism has failed in every possible way. No one is better off today than they were before Donald Trump came back into office, but millions are far worse off. Will Republicans ever wake up and realize what they've done to the country we once had?

More and more Democrats in both the House and Senate are calling for Kristi Noem's impeachment following the second killing of a civilian by her ICE gestapo. But even before Saturday's killing, a majority of Americans were already disapproving of the job that she was doing, and that's according to THREE different polls released before Saturday. The public hates her, and that hatred is only going to get worse as she and her office continue to lie about the lives that they are destroying.

Immediately following the killing of Alex Pretti on Saturday, a lawsuit was brought by officials in Minnesota who alleged that federal officers had already tampered with evidence from the crime scene. A federal judge appointed by Donald Trump himself immediately granted approval for a restraining order against the FBI, DOJ, and Homeland Security - and ALL of their employees - from in any way altering, manipulating, or mishandling evidence from Saturday's shooting. This is a massive step forward as it appears that even Trump's own judges have had about enough of this.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz is in hot water after audio of a recent talk he gave to wealthy investors leaked to the public. Cruz was caught on a hot mic tearing apart Donald Trump and JD Vance, saying that Trump dismissed his concerns that his tariff policies were going to get Republicans crushed in the midterms. Cruz talks a big game behind closed doors, but sings a very different tune when in public.

A doctor and medical professor is speaking out about the White House physicians' decision to let Donald Trump and his glaring mental decline continue unabated. Dr. Bruce Davidson said that the doctors are doing the President (and the country) an incredible disservice by allowing his symptoms to become so blatantly obvious while visibly doing nothing to get the man the help that he desperately deserves. This was less of an attack on the president and more of a plea for help directed at the doctors that are ignoring the obvious.
