The National Security Council whistleblower who triggered the first impeachment against Donald Trump is running for Senate. Alexander Vindman announced on Tuesday he is running in the president's home state of Florida as a Democrat seeking to oust Republican Senator Ashley Moody. In his two-minute announcement video, the Ukraine-born candidate leans into his anti-Trump sentiment, claiming: 'This president unleashed a reign of terror and retribution, not just against me and my family, but against all of us.' 'Today, our country is in chaos.' Vindman, a retired lieutenant colonel and an NSC aide during Trump's first term, testified to Congress in...

Ted Lieu encourages more people in Minnesota to get into the faces of ICE agents and film them so that evidence can be used to prosecute them in the future for doing their jobs. These people are trying to get ICE agents killed.

A Danish lawmaker was reprimanded after startlingly telling President Trump to “f–k off” during a recent meeting to discuss the US’s campaign to buy Greenland. “Dear President Trump, listen very carefully. Greenland has been part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years. It is an integrated country. It is not for sale,” European Parliament Member Anders Vistisen said while addressing Trump during a speech to the European Union’s legislative body on Jan. 13. “Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, f—k off,” he raged. Vistisen, 38, finished his speech in Danish before leaving the podium, sparking...

A wave of right-wing social media accounts launched near-identical attacks against a little-known Republican-backed bill aimed at restricting the export of advanced AI chips to adversaries, raising questions about whether the effort was coordinated to derail legislation publicly opposed by Nvidia. The AI OVERWATCH Act was introduced on Dec. 18, but seemingly out of nowhere on Thursday, a group of influencers and X accounts — including Laura Loomer, Ryan Fournier, Wall Street Mav and Defiant L’s — launched a barrage of attacks against the bill, ModelRepublic first reported. The timing, language and even shared errors across the posts prompted some...

The last time the United States purchased land from Denmark, the sale included Jeffrey Epstein’s future notorious island — which has since been dubbed “Epstein Island” and “Pedophile Island.” The 1917 Treaty of the Danish West Indies saw what is now known as the US Virgin Islands bought by the United States for $25 million (roughly $633 million today), in exchange for, in part, accepting Danish sovereignty over Greenland. Among around 60 islands and rocks included in that sale, one, Little Saint James, would become infamous after it was bought by pedophile financier Epstein. -- snip -- “Reminder: In 1917,...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — With the American public demanding action be taken by the government in response to aggressive and violent leftist protests across the country, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi promised to prosecute Minnesota rioters as soon as she finishes releasing all those Epstein files. Bondi responded to the outrage after days of lawlessness in Minneapolis and other cities by assuring the American people that the individuals behind the violent riots and disturbances of church services would be held accountable after she had looked through the pile of Epstein documents that were sitting on her desk. "I'll get to it...

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday said it’s “very unlikely” that the Supreme Court will overturn President Donald Trump’s use of emergency powers to impose tariffs, with a potential decision from the court looming as early as this week. “I believe that it is very unlikely that the Supreme Court will overrule a president’s signature economic policy,” Bessent said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “They did not overrule Obamacare, I believe that the Supreme Court does not want to create chaos.” In June, the Supreme Court upheld a key Affordable Care Act provision that set up a panel to recommend...

New York City socialists are mustering an army of more than 4,000 anti-ICE activists to form “rapid response” battalions and obstruct the feds in an expected imminent crackdown on illegal migrants in the Big Apple. Mayor Mamdani’s comrades with the DSA outlined the mission Thursday at a monthly meeting of their Immigrant Justice Working Group in the swanky Midtown digs of the Chinese Communist Party-linked People’s Forum, where photos of communist idols Fidel Castro and Che Guevara decorate the walls. “As we’ve seen in other cities, we still do anticipate a big wave of federal immigration enforcement,” a DSA leader...

Jaylani Hussein, the Somali leader of Islamist group CAIR Minnesota, told a far-left crowd that they didn't accomplish what they needed to after George Floyd's death. "We have a second chance...by any means necessary." Video by @YaakovStras:

Ilhan Omar refers to our great country as the "U.S. G*ddamn States." There is no circumstance in which she should refer to our country in this way. It is beyond disrespectful — it is appalling, disgusting, and SICK. SHAME ON HER!

Keir Starmer joined European allies warning of a 'dangerous downward spiral' in Nato today after Donald Trump threatened a trade war over Greenland. A joint statement from Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK said they stood 'firmly behind' the 'principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity'. The president has shocked the military alliance by warning that opponents of an American takeover of the Danish territory will be hit with punitive tariffs from February 1. In a bombshell post on his social media site, Mr Trump said levies will start at 10 per cent - and potentially...

Donald Trump has announced that he will impose increasing tariffs on eight European countries unless they agree to let the US take over Greenland. Britain, France, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Netherlands will be hit by a 10 percent levy on 'any and all goods' entering the US from February 1, the president announced on Truth Social on Saturday. Trump said that if no deal was reached by June 1, the tariff will increase to 25 percent. The president, who referred to himself as 'the tariff king,' called on Denmark to relinquish the mineral-rich territory by claiming world...

A prominent anarchist blog is calling for a “disruptive” gathering at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent’s home in Portland, Oregon, on Friday night. Masked protesters should arrive at the property at 6 p.m. and “TAKE THE FIGHT” to ICE, whether the gathering is “peaceful” or not, according to the Tuesday post from “Rose City Counter-Info,” which claims to identify the agent and a home address. The anonymous pro-Antifa website drew rebuke from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in July and October for efforts to “dox” ICE agents and telling Portlanders to illegally shine lasers at federal aircraft....

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump warned this week that if the Minnesota government is unable to get the riots under control, he will be forced to start posting online using all-caps. With tensions and violent anti-ICE protests escalating in Minneapolis, Trump said he may have no other choice but to start posting sternly worded all-caps statements on social media. "I don't want to do it, but I will," Trump told reporters at the White House. "Melania has said, ‘Don, you need to cut it out with the caps lock.' But I'm getting close. If these liberal nut jobs don't...

Trump’s pick for ambassador to Iceland, former U.S. Rep. Billy Long, told Arctic Today that he apologizes for comments he made Tuesday about making Iceland the 52nd state with himself as governor. He said the comments, which, according to Politico, he made on the House floor Tuesday night, were made in jest in response to a joke about Jeff Landry, President Trump’s U.S. Special Envoy to Greenland, becoming governor of Greenland. “There was nothing serious about that, I was with some people, who I hadn’t met for three years, and they were kidding about Jeff Landry being governor of Greenland...

A House Republican is warning that if President Donald Trump were to order a military invasion of Greenland, it “would be the end of his presidency.” In an interview with the Omaha World-Herald, Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) said he personally would “lean toward” voting to impeach the president if he were to follow through on threats to take over Greenland. “I’ll be candid with you. There’s so many Republicans mad about this,” Bacon told the paper. “If he went through with the threats, I think it would be the end of his presidency.” Bacon — who often breaks from MAGA...

The FBI executed a search warrant on the home of a Washington Post reporter as part of an investigation into the leaking of government secrets. The reporter, Hannah Natanson, was at her home in Virginia when federal agents descended on her home on Wednesday morning, the Washington Post said. The outlet said Natanson was raided as part of a probe into a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified government materials, and she had her home and devices searched.

Sen. Rand Paul ripped into his fellow Republicans Tuesday over their tepid response to the Trump administration’s series of strikes against suspected drug-running vessels, saying his colleagues on Capitol Hill “don’t give a s— about these people in the boats.” “We’ve been blowing up these people in boats off the coast of Venezuela. They’re accused of running drugs, but nobody knows their names and nobody’s put up any evidence,” Paul (R-Ky.) said during an apperance on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. “And so what I think is bizarre is I hear mostly my Republican colleagues say, ‘Well, we shouldn’t have...

🚨This account from a Venezuelan security guard loyal to Nicolás Maduro is absolutely chilling—and it explains a lot about why the tone across Latin America suddenly changed. Security Guard: On the day of the operation, we didn't hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react. Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack? Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few....

President Trump declared Monday that the US would be “screwed” if the Supreme Court rules against his reciprocal tariff policies — arguing the feds would have to “pay back” billions in revenue collected over the past year. “[I]f the Supreme Court rules against the United States of America on this National Security bonanza, WE’RE SCREWED!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The actual numbers that we would have to pay back if, for any reason, the Supreme Court were to rule against the United States of America on Tariffs, would be many Hundreds of Billions of Dollars,” he wrote. “[A]nd that...
