Axios: Scoop: White House launches Drudge-style website to promote Trump

The White House has launched a new Drudge Report-like website devoted to promoting pro-Trump news stories.

Why it matters: The site, called White House Wire, represents the administration’s latest effort to circumvent the mainstream media and present itself in a positive light.

Matt Drudge, the creator/editor of the Drudge Report, plastered his site with the news of the White House’s site. “IT TAKES AN ENTIRE WEST WING TO COMPETE WITH DRUDGE” he wrote.

NPR: The U.S. economy shrinks as Trump’s tariffs spark recession fears

Economic output is shrinking. The stock market has dropped sharply. And consumer confidence has tumbled to its lowest level since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

That hardly looks like the new “golden age” the president promised on Inauguration Day just over three months ago.

Figures released by the Commerce Department Wednesday show that the United States’ gross domestic product contracted at an annual rate of 0.3% in the first quarter of the year, after growing at a solid pace of 2.4% in the final months of 2024.

KFOR: Homeland Security admits Oklahoma raid targeted wrong people

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security admits they know the mom and three daughters who say ICE agents left them traumatized when they raided their Oklahoma City home were not the suspects they were after.

Since KFOR first told you about the family’s ordeal on Monday, hundreds of people from all corners of the country are asking, How could this have happened?

That is the same question KFOR has been asking, and so far, it still has not been answered.

[The U.S. Department of Homeland Security] finally responded Wednesday, confirming the raid on Marissa’s house was part of that nationwide operation, and admitting for the first time that Marissa and her family were not supposed to be targeted.

Telling KFOR, “Ice was carrying out a court-authorized search warrant for a large-scale human smuggling investigation. The search warrants included the location of an address where U.S. citizens recently moved. The previous residents were the intended targets.”

[Attorney Patrick Jaicomo] says his group will represent Marissa for free too. Telling us her case fits a years-long pattern of questionable raids.

“Based on the facts as I understand them right now, there’s no question that there was a lack of due diligence,” said Jaicomo.

So Homeland Security admits that they f*ck*d up, but thus far has failed to explain why and has not returned the cell phones / laptops / cash that they looted from the home.

Looters should be shot on sight! Especially government looters! No mercy for these fascist DHS pond scum!

Steal their phone, laptops, money

Are you proud of your thugs now, Kristi Noem & Tom Homan?

Rot in Hell you f*ck*ng pieces of fascist sh*t!

Business Insider: UPS says it is cutting 20,000 staff and shuttering over 70 facilities

  • UPS said it would cut 20,000 jobs this year as it overhauls its US network to boost efficiency.

President Donald Trump directed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi [Bimbo #3] to determine how the U.S. military could be used for domestic law enforcement on Monday.

The police state is coming, and the military side of it will be run by a drunken wife-beating O-3 washout turned Fox TV host turned Secretary of Defense Christian Nationalist.

Mediaite: ‘American Betrayal!’ New Canadian PM Mark Carney Torches Trump in Victory Speech After Election Win

“President Trump is trying to break us so America can own us. That will never — that will never, ever happen,” Carney declared Monday night in Ottawa, the same day Trump made a further jibe at the country joining the U.S.

“As I have been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country: never,” he said. “But these are not idle threats: President Trump is trying to break us, so America can own us. That will never, ever happen.”

He continued, condemning the Trump administration for what he called an “American betrayal” and warning Canadians that “the system of open global trade anchored by the United States is over.”

“We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons,” he said, continuing to say that any “future economic and security relationship between two sovereign nations” will be overshadowed by the “full knowledge that we have many, many other options than the United States to build prosperity for all Canadians.”

Future talks with Trump, he said, would reflect Canada’s full sovereignty and a willingness to “build, baby, build” with other global partners.

Carney added that said Canadians will “need to do things previously thought impossible at speeds we haven’t seen in generations.”

Raw Story: ‘Will not stand by’: Trump admin launches probe as uproar over mascot embroils community

The Education Department on Friday opened a probe into New York state education officials for threatening to cut funding to a local school district over its decades-old Native American mascot – an image depicting a man in a feathered headdress, according to a report in Politico.

Two words: “Butt out!”


It’s a state/local matter. Cities, counties, states do not wish to be micromanaged by a deranged wannabe dictator in Washington.

NBC News: FBI arrests Milwaukee judge, alleging she interfered in immigration operation

The arrest marks a significant escalation in the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration, as well as in its battles with judges across the country.

The FBI arrested a county judge in Milwaukee on Friday, alleging that she obstructed federal authorities who were seeking to detain an undocumented immigrant by escorting the man and his defense attorney though a nonpublic jury door.

The arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan marks a significant escalation in the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration, in line with its rhetoric about going after local and state authorities on immigration-related matters. It’s also marks another step in the Trump administration’s battles with judges over federal policy.

In an appearance on Fox News on Friday, Attorney General Pam Bondi [Bimbo #3] the arrest to pull in the administration’s broader, repeated criticism of judges. “What’s happening to our judiciary is beyond me,” Bondi said, before using the term “deranged.”

Pitting the Feds vs. the States is a fight that Bimbo #3 Pam Bondi will not win. This is one of the dumbest moves King Donald’s underlings could have made.

Bimbo #3 Pam Bondi should look in the mirror as she speaks of the “deranged”.
