Three words you heard a lot in 2024 but not in 2026: Latinos. For. Trump.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis lashed out at Donald Trump in private texts obtained by POLITICO earlier this year, saying: “If you had ever threatened me directly with a primary, I would have immediately told you to f*ck yourself… Save those threats and head games for cowards and fools.” politico.com/playbook

We are giving justified responses to Russia’s escalation with our own long-range sanctions. Important results are achieved practically every day. Over the past 24 hours, oil facilities in the Samara and Volgograd regions were hit. Successful operations were carried out in the Black Sea and in the Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod, Volgograd, Samara, and Krasnodar regions, targeting airfields, industrial facilities, oil refineries, a missile and space center, and an ammunition depot belonging to the occupiers. I thank the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Unmanned Systems Forces, Special Operations Forces, and Foreign Intelligence Service for their precision and professionalism. @ZelenskyyUa

🇺🇦🚀 Only 12 countries can produce ballistic missiles, and Ukraine is now among them, — WSJ Ukrainian FP-7 missile makes it possible to destroy Russian bunkers, bridges, and other hardened targets that long-range drones are practically incapable of.

🚨 BREAKING: The family of Renee Good and her partner, Rebecca Good, have filed two federal lawsuits over Good’s January killing by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis. The first lawsuit is against the United States itself, alleging wrongful death and other claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act. The complaint alleges Ross fired three times as Good’s vehicle turned away from him, killing the 37-year-old mother of three, and argues the shooting violated the Fourth Amendment and DHS use-of-force policies. The second, much broader lawsuit personally names Ross, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, Tom Homan, Todd Lyons, Gregory Bovino, and other federal agents. It accuses them of participating in an unlawful conspiracy surrounding “Operation Metro Surge” and brings claims under the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, Bivens, and Minnesota law. The 149-page complaint alleges Good’s killing was not an isolated incident, but the “predictable and intended product” of a coordinated federal operation that plaintiffs say targeted Minnesota’s Somali and Hispanic communities and sought to intimidate people documenting or warning others about federal enforcement activity. Together, the lawsuits seek damages over Good’s death and the injuries Rebecca Good says she suffered after witnessing the shooting.

“What a crock of sh*t!” Katie Phang torches Todd Blanche after he declares, “There’s not a prosecutor in this country that should ever, ever violate a court order,” pointing to the Trump DOJ’s documented noncompliance with court orders in her OWN Epstein files lawsuit.
