I told you guys back in MARCH that the cartels are hiding their criminal drug enterprise inside “homeless” tents and blending into Skid Row, exploiting the city’s hands-off approach to all the vagrants. Only the Feds are doing something about it. https://t.co/KFfRAleDzN

What I Experienced There Changed My Life Forever
… rites unless she agreed to receive remdesivir.🚨 “I WAS DENIED ACCESS TO MY PRIEST UNLESS I AGREED TO REMDESIVIR.” @senronjohnson highlighted disturbing testimony from last week’s roundtable on COVID hospital protocols. One patient testified that while hospitalized with COVID she was denied access to her priest for final rites unless she agreed to receive remdesivir. “What I experienced there changed my life forever and exposed me to a system that abandoned individual patient care in favor of rigid protocols, coercion, isolation and fear,” she testified. She also recalled what happened when an ICU hospitalist learned she was unvaccinated: “He looked directly at me and said, ‘I’m so sorry, Mrs. Seiler, but you’re going to die.’”

Julie Kelly
She made up the story about what allegedly happened in the presidential vehicle on January 6 after conspiring with Liz Cheney to concoct the absurd account.
She switched lawyers at Cheney’s behest then tried to destroy Stefan Passantino, who had represented her.
Her “grabbed the steering wheel” fable was eventually debunked by everyone she claimed had been involved—but the damage was done as her bombshell testimony became the animating chapter of the Jan 6 Select Committee’s TV series.
She lied under oath.
Additional Charges
… charged.A superseding indictment was just unsealed charging Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores with conspiracy to commit torture, including the alleged torture of United States citizens for over two decades, in addition to the narcotics trafficking and weapons offenses already charged. Since their capture and arrest, @TheJusticeDept has been working to uncover the extent of their alleged crimes against the people of Venezuela and of the United States, and these additional charges reflect the dedication of this Administration to delivering justice for the victims of torture, narcoterrorism, and organized crime.

Food stamps are supposed to feed people who are struggling. On the streets of Seattle, people told us EBT cards get sold for cash at a fraction of their value, with the cash often going straight to drugs, and we found cards scattered through homeless encampments. I teamed up with citizen journalists Jonathan Choe, Grant and Darren to go undercover as sellers, follow the trail, and see who is allegedly cashing in on a program paid for with your tax dollars.
- Anyone with an EBT card comes in and buys an item
- The store adjusts the price of that item to the amount of money that’s on the person’s EBT card
- The store gives the person 50 cents on the dollar for the balance on the EBT card
you have $120 on your EBT card, you exchange it for $60 cash and the store pockets the rest of the money for doing the transaction
Preparing Children for “A Lifetime of Justice Work”
… promised classroom ideas teachers could implement immediately.REVEALED: Preschool teachers were offered training on preparing children for “a lifetime of justice work.” The workshop was literally called: “Nurturing Future Activists.” Advertised at an April 2026 Pennsylvania summit for educators teaching PRESCHOOL through second grade, it promised classroom ideas teachers could implement immediately. The same summit promoted “Radical Morning Meeting” training from Philly Children’s Movement. Here’s how that organization describes its mission: “in order to create systemic change, we must change the way that people raise children.” Its framework has already been piloted in FOUR Philadelphia public elementary schools: Adaire, Vare-Washington, Kearny and Spring Garden. The group traces its origins to a children’s march supporting Black Lives Matter. Its event history includes protests against Moms for Liberty. Then there’s Rutgers. A university-produced curriculum names the group as a partner and includes a third-grade unit called: “Becoming an Activist for Racial Justice.” Activities include creating chants, songs and protest signs. The curriculum asks teachers: “Am I engaging students in activism and taking action in their schools and communities?”
