‘Sick-Of-ICE, Sick-Of-Trump’ Sickout Protests Kick Off Nationwide

/0 Comments/in , /by

Protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and President Trump are scheduled to take place on Tuesday in most major cities across the country. The well-organized campaign at “SICKOFICE.ORG” urges people to call out sick in solidarity with illegal aliens facing deportation.

Much like the “No Kings” protests held in June to denounce the Trump administration’s efforts to conduct mass deportations of illegal aliens, Tuesday’s protests are being supported by the same activist organizations. The Party for Socialism and Liberation is actively promoting the “Sick of ICE” events nationwide on social media. . .

The omission of sponsors may be a deliberate attempt to conceal the funders of the “Sick of ICE” events, following Senator Josh Hawley’s (R-MO) announcement in June that he would launch an investigation into the financing of anti-ICE protests.

On the “Sick of ICE.Org” website, the organizers liken the effort to carry out deportations by the Trump administration to a declaration of war, saying:

Trump’s vow to carry out “the largest domestic deportation operation in American History” is a declaration of war against all of us. It is not just an attack on our immigrant families, but all of our civil liberties, and all of the gains of the Civil Rights movement. We can’t leave the immigrant community to fight alone; all citizens have a duty to stand up to this assault.

Trump has already broken up thousands of immigrant families and violently kidnapped our neighbors. He has also tried to strip away our rights to free speech and due process.

Trump Gives Illegal Aliens Advise About Escaping From Alligators

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Speaking to reporters ahead of his trip to “eastern Alcatraz” on the South Lawn of the White House Tuesday, President Donald Trump gave some interesting advice to the illegal alien criminals who will be housed there.

“I guess that’s the concept. This is not a nice business. I guess that’s the concept,” Trump said after being asked if inmates trying to escape could get eaten by alligators. “You know, the snakes are fast, but alligators, we’re going to teach them how to run away from an alligator. Okay? If they escape prison, how to run away. Don’t run in a straight line. Look like this. And you know what? Your chances go up about 1%. Not a good thing.”

Dem Senator Can’t Bring Himself To Give Trump Any Credit For Record-Low Border Numbers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy refused to acknowledge on NBC News Sunday any positive impact from President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, despite record-low border crossings.

In May 2025, U.S. Border Patrol encountered about 8,725 illegal crossings, a 93% decrease from the 117,905 encounters in May 2024. During an appearance on “Meet The Press,” host Kristen Welker asked Murphy about the decline in border crossings with Murphy insisting that the drop was the result of the Trump administration’s alleged illegal actions rather than effective policy.

“I don’t give them credit for that because border crossings are low because they’re violating the law every day. So we have a law in this country that says if you are fleeing terror or torture from another country, you can come here and apply for asylum,” Murphy said.

Murphy claimed that the president suspended the asylum process altogether, preventing individuals from seeking refuge as prescribed by U.S. law. He also pointed to bipartisan legislative efforts from 2024 at reforming the asylum process to ensure that only those who qualify are allowed to apply while expediting the review of asylum cases at the border.

Trump Declares War On Deep State Leakers

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration is cracking down on government leakers and curbing the flow of classified information to corporate media outlets, following the latest intelligence leak.

President Donald Trump is reportedly limiting the sharing of classified information with Congress after CNN published details from a leaked preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report assessing the aftermath of recent U.S. strikes on Iran that suggested the damage was minimal. While some Democrats have expressed outrage, others contend that such a move has long been overdue in light of leaks that influenced situations like the “Russiagate” probe and allegations of influence peddling surrounding Hunter Biden.

“We are declaring a war on leakers,” a senior White House official told Axios on Wednesday. “The intelligence community is figuring out how to tighten up their processes so we don’t have ‘Deep State’ actors leaking parts of intel analysis that have ‘low confidence’ to the media.”

The leaked DIA report supposedly indicated that the strikes on Iran’s Fordow and Natanz nuclear sites only set the regime’s nuclear ambitions back by months rather than being “obliterated” as Trump suggested. Among the contributors to the CNN article was national security reporter Natasha Bertrand, who had previously published an article amplifying the now-debunked claims from U.S. intelligence officials that suggested the Hunter Biden laptop was likely an instrument of “Russian disinformation,” just weeks before the 2020 election.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Thursday that the source of the leak is believed to be someone on Capitol Hill or within the intelligence community, though the FBI is still investigating the details. (Read more from “Trump Declares War On Deep State Leakers” HERE)

Senate Advances Big Beautiful Bill in Dramatic Saturday Night Vote

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Senate voted to proceed on President Donald Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill in a rare drama-packed Saturday night vote.

They key procedural vote on the motion to proceed is a significant victory for the President and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and clears the path for amendment votes to begin, likely late Monday night.

The bill contains many of Trump’s key campaign promises and addresses immigration and border security, energy, national security and defense, and taxes – notably extending the bulk of Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and instituting no tax on tips and overtime.

The vote was 51 to 49. Vice President JD Vance led negotiations with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and a handful of conservative holdouts.

Vance arrived at the Capitol with the expectation his vote would be needed. Although his vote proved unnecessary, his role in negotiations on behalf of the White House ensured the bill advanced. (Read more from “Senate Advances Big Beautiful Bill in Dramatic Saturday Night Vote” HERE)

‘Direct And Blatant Attack On Our Country’: Trump Announces End To Trade Talks With Major Partner

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump announced Friday he is ending trade talks with Canada over the northern neighbor’s decision to impose a digital service tax on American technology companies.

Trump called Canada’s decision “a direct and blatant attack on our Country” in a Truth Social post.

“They are obviously copying the European Union, which has done the same thing, and is currently under discussion with us, also. Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately,” Trump also wrote.

Canada is reportedly going ahead with the tax despite its inclusion in the Group of Seven (G7) agreement in which President Trump agreed to remove Section 899, also known as the revenge tax proposal, from his “Big Beautiful” tax bill, according to Bloomberg.

The tax will require digital services companies like Meta to pay 3 percent of the digital services revenue they make on Canadian users above 20 million Canadian dollars ($14.6 million) in a calendar year, according to Bloomberg.

Donald Trump Is About to Confront the Real Reason the U.S. Keeps Starting Wars

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Donald Trump spent the last 10 years campaigning against “stupid wars” in the Middle East and returned to the White House in January endorsed by a retinue of so-called restrainers — advocates of scaling back America’s role as globo-cop — who took him at his word. Many were appointed to key positions in his administration.

But then, like so many presidents before him, Trump seemed to succumb to the temptations of American power, jumping into a new war of choice in the Middle East by launching air strikes against Iran.

The question many restrainers and hawks alike are asking now is this: Was the U.S. attack a one-off, or was Trump fooling us all along?

It’s difficult — perhaps impossible — to pin down Trump on any particular point of view, especially the second-term Trump who in his inaugural address pledged to be a “peacemaker” but who promptly made threatening moves toward Greenland, Panama and even Canada. In the weeks preceding the June 21 strike on Iran, the administration swung wildly from pursuing diplomacy and denying any U.S. involvement in Israel’s attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites to Trump demanding “unconditional surrender” from Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Left-Wing Legal Coalition Sues Trump Over ‘America’s Most Fundamental Promise’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hours after the Supreme Court delivered the Trump administration a major victory Friday by ruling lower courts may issue nationwide injunctions only in limited instances, a coalition of liberal legal groups filed a sweeping new class-action lawsuit in New Hampshire federal court. It takes aim at President Donald Trump’s January executive order that redefines who qualifies for U.S. citizenship at birth.

While the justices’ 6-3 ruling leaves open the question of how the ruling will apply to the birthright citizenship order at the heart of the case, Friday’s lawsuit accuses the administration of violating the Constitution by denying citizenship to children born on U.S. soil if their mothers are either unlawfully present or temporarily in the country and their fathers are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.

The case was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of New Hampshire, ACLU of Maine, ACLU of Massachusetts, Legal Defense Fund, Asian Law Caucus and Democracy Defenders Fund. It seeks to represent a proposed class of children born under the terms of the executive order and their parents.

It is not the first legal challenge to the policy. The same group filed a separate suit in January 2025 in the same court on behalf of advocacy organizations with members expecting children who would be denied citizenship under the order. That case led to a ruling protecting members of those groups and is now pending before the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, with oral arguments scheduled for Aug. 1.

Friday’s SCOTUS ruling states that lower courts can no longer block federal policies nationwide unless it’s absolutely necessary to give full relief to the people suing. The decision does not say whether Trump’s birthright citizenship order is legal, but it means the order could take effect in parts of the country while legal challenges continue. The court gave lower courts 30 days to review their existing rulings. (Read more from “Left-Wing Legal Coalition Sues Trump Over ‘America’s Most Fundamental Promise’” HERE)

Trump Accuses Democrats of Leaking Intel Assessment of Iran Strikes: ‘They Should Be Prosecuted!’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump claimed Thursday that congressional Democrats leaked a preliminary Pentagon intelligence assessment that questioned the impact of Saturday’s airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear program.

“The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the Nuclear Sites in Iran. They should be prosecuted!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

It’s unclear if Trump has evidence pointing to a culprit as the FBI investigates the Tuesday leak of the Defense Intelligence Agency assessment drafted shortly after the strike that said Iran’s nuclear development may only have been set back months.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said shortly before Trump’s claim that Democrats in Congress may have been responsible — though she described no specific evidence and said no conclusions had been made.

“It could have been someone in the intelligence community, or it could have been someone on Capitol Hill who had access to this document. The FBI is searching for that person,” Leavitt told reporters. (Read more from “Trump Accuses Democrats of Leaking Intel Assessment of Iran Strikes: ‘They Should Be Prosecuted!’” HERE)

Trump Will Limit Sharing of Classified Information With Congress After Iran Bombing Document Leak

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Trump administration will limit the sharing of classified information with Congress in the wake of a high-profile document leak, the White House has confirmed to the Washington Examiner.

President Donald Trump maintains that last week’s Iran strikes totally obliterated that country’s nuclear program, but his claim has been undermined by a leaked internal document suggesting the nuclear program was set back by only a few months.

Trump’s White House has responded to the leak with a full-court press, pushing back furiously against the reports, opening investigations into the leak, personally attacking the reporters involved, and now limiting how much information it shares with Congress.

A White House spokesperson also pointed to statements press secretary Karoline Leavitt made Wednesday afternoon about an FBI investigation into the matter.

“I am told by the FBI that the leak already is being investigated, and it absolutely should be,” she said on Fox News. “Because this was a top secret intelligence analysis that very few people in the United States government had access to see.” (Read more from “Trump Will Limit Sharing of Classified Information With Congress After Iran Bombing Document Leak” HERE)
