Don Lemon arrested by federal authorities after covering protest at Minnesota church service
In an absolutely stunning assault on the constitutionally protected freedom of press, Trump goons just arrested former CNN anchor Don Lemon for daring to cover a protest at a Minnesota church service earlier this month. Seriously. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Lemon was arrested alongside three others — Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell — for what she laughably described as a "coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota."
Lemon was covering the protest as an embedded independent journalist. Cities Church was targeted by the peaceful protesters specifically because its lead pastor, David Easterwood, also happens to serve as an acting field office director for ICE.
"Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, the Trump Justice Department is devoting its time, attention, and resources to this arrest, and that is the real indictment of wrongdoing in this case," Lemon's attorney, Abbe Lowell said. "This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court." Just more authoritarian thuggery from America's fascist-in-chief!

VIDEO OF THE DAY: "Shut the fuck up!": Brian Tyler Cohen shuts down conservatives in fiery debate
Brian Tyler Cohen joined a lively panel on Piers Morgan's show yesterday to discuss the unconscionable killing of Alex Pretti, and things got heated in a hurry. Former ICE director Jonathan Fahey and real-big-tough-right-wing YouTube guy Brandon Tatum tried to justify the gunning down of Pretti in broad daylight, and Brian was having absolutely none of it, at one point telling Tatum, "Being a boot licker is not a tough position, my dude." You really should just roll the tape!

Union ironworker takes on Big Lie-pushing MAGA radical in battle for critical House seat
Brian Poindexter for Congress: Brian Poindexter is a union worker and city councilman who has worked hard his entire life in machine shops, on construction sites, driving trucks, and serving my neighbors. He’s the perfect candidate to win over the working-class voters of Ohio’s 7th district, which is currently represented by a Republican who has spent his entire political career being handed jobs by Donald Trump — and racking up a slew of nasty allegations, including domestic violence. Will you chip in to help jump-start Brian’s campaign and help Democrats pick up this vital House seat?
Trump sues IRS and Treasury Department for $10 BILLION over leak of his tax returns in 2020
Lord Goldemort wants American taxpayers to fork over a staggering TEN BILLION DOLLARS because the IRS and Treasury Department failed to stop a former IRS contract employee from leaking the con man's tax returns in 2020, which revealed just how little Trump had paid in federal income taxes at the time — a damning trend that actually stretched back more than 15 years and spanned multiple bankruptcies.
Never mind the fact that Trump was in charge of the federal government at the time of the 2020 leak, or that $10,000,000,000 is a cartoonishly absurd number plucked right out of silly space. Donald Trump is currently engaged in the greatest, ongoing swindle by a sitting president in US history — his net worth skyrocketed by $3.4 billion in the last year alone — and he still can't keep his grubby hands out of the people's kitty.

Anti-ICE protests to be held across US as organizers urge national strike
Activists are calling for a nationwide shutdown on Friday, advocating "no work, no school, no shopping" in a protest against the Trump regime's sweeping anti-immigrant crackdowns. "We are calling for this strike because we believe what we have been doing in Minnesota should go national," said Kidus Yeshidagna, president of the Ethiopian Students Union at the University of Minnesota and one of the students organizing the strike. "We need more people and lawmakers across the country to wake up." Hear, hear. Click here for more information on events taking place in your community today!

Trump slanders Alex Pretti, suggests he's an "insurrectionist" in late-night rant
For those keeping score at home: throngs of rabid J6ers assaulting cops with bear spray and flag poles on the steps of the US Capitol = patriots who were unjustly persecuted by an overzealous American legal system. An ICU nurse holding a cell phone coming to the aid of a fellow protester on the streets of Minneapolis = insurrectionist who shouldn't have been exercising his 1st or 2nd Amendment rights and is obviously to blame for the 10 bullets federal agents fire into his back. Got it.
Trump openly admits he wants to make housing LESS affordable
Good news, America! Our nincompoop-in-chief has a plan to...make housing even LESS affordable for the millions of folks struggling to buy their first homes. During a Cabinet meeting yesterday, Trump proclaimed, "I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people that own their homes." Uh, sure, great. But how exactly is that going to help everybody waiting on the sidelines to finally get their shot at the "American dream?" Being a real estate guy and all, Donald surely understands basic supply and demand, right? Right?
ICE agents shatter car window after being told "there's a baby" inside, haul asylum-seeking father away
Federal cosplay bounty hunters in Maine shattered a car window, showering a one-month-old baby with broken glass, kidnapped his law-abiding father, and left him and his mother — who does not have a driver's license — stranded in a freezing car in just the latest assault on human decency by Trump's "pro-life," super Christ-like regime.
"There was a car seat in the back with one of those baby blankets you get at the hospital. There were broken glass shards all over it," said a witness. "I carefully pulled back the blanket and there was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying. I picked him up and hushed him, told him it was gonna be OK. He nuzzled into my neck and stopped crying...I almost broke down right then and there." Just another incident of truly shocking, blood-boiling cruelty from America's Temu Gestapo. And Republicans in Congress want to give these guys even MORE MONEY?
Trump suggests he appointed Doug Burgum to Cabinet because he found his wife attractive
Once in a blue moon America's wannabe dictator accidentally tells the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Admitting that he gave Doug Burgum a post in his Cabinet because he thought his wife is hot is definitely one such moment. "I saw them riding horses in a video and I said, ‘Who is that?’ I was talking about her, not him," Trump said, gesturing to Kathryn Burgum. "They explained it, and I said, 'I'm going to hire him' because anybody that has somebody like you to be with — it’s an amazing tribute." In the eyes of the chauvinist-in-chief, women are little more than ornamental arm candy, a reflection of the "quality" of the man they're standing next to. Truly incredible stuff.
