A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.

ICE Barbie Insiders Expose Rumored Lover's Wild Schemes DHS insiders have spilled on how Kristi Noem’s alleged lover ran the show.

With Kristi Noem out, DHS staffers are dishing on how things were operated at the agency: basically Corey Lewandowski ran everything in consultation with Stephen Miller, while Kristi Noem was relegated to serial photo ops. In other words, South Park had it just right.

Not a single person that Joe Biden pardoned was re-arrested.

33 of the J6ers that Donald Trump has pardoned have been re-arrested.

Not a single US citizen was shot by ICE under Joe Biden.

23 American citizens have been shot at by ICE under Donald Trump. 8 have been hit, 3 have died.

Condoms, gift cards and wedding gifts: Arizona parents allegedly misspent $10 million in ESA funds The Arizona Department of Education records obtained by 12News show misspending could be 20% of all purchases in the $1 billion voucher program.

While some school districts don’t have enough money to support kids, money that should be going to support public education is being misused because the voucher system is broken. Arizona kids deserve better.

BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noem’s effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.

Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.

Haiti TPS is safe for now.

While Kristi Noem funneled $220M in taxpayer funds into self-promoting political ads, she refused to distribute $500M+ in FEMA funding for LA Fire survivors.

The Trump Administration must immediately release that relief and redirect those wasted ad dollars to recovery efforts.

" ... his outspoken support of Trump has ended his career in Hollywood, with his talent agent dropping him over political disagreements in 2018."

LOL! When you lose the ability to tell right from wrong, that's not a political disagreement.

His agent dropped him because he's a loon who likes evil.

NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.

When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: β€œBecause they lie all the time.”

Video + interview with her and her daughter:
