Conservative analyst shocks with warning about Trump admin's latest 'horrors'

Conservative analyst Rick Wilson issued a shocking warning about what's to come following the President Donald Trump administration's latest "horrors" in Minneapolis.

Wilson, a co-founder of The Lincoln Project, wrote in a new Substack essay on Sunday that Trump appears to be lurching the political discourse firmly in one direction. The essay was published a day after ICU nurse Alex Pretti was gunned down by Trump's immigration agents at an anti-Trump protest in Minneapolis.

Trump's niece warns his latest 'extortion' scheme presents an 'increasing danger'

President Donald Trump's niece issued a stark warning about the president's latest "extortion" scheme in a new Substack essay on Sunday.

Mary Trump, a psychologist and author, argued in a new essay that the Trump administration appears to be trying to extort state governments into complying with its legally dubious immigration tactics. She pointed to Attorney General Pam Bondi's agreement to retreat immigration officers from Minnesota in exchange for the state's voter rolls and a guarantee that the state government will overturn its "sanctuary city" policies, both of which are policy priorities of the Trump administration.

Trump's latest outburst alarms doctor: 'I want his physicians to engage!'

President Donald Trump's recent social media post storm alarmed one doctor, who said on Sunday that he saw it as evidence that the president is suffering a common side effect from having a stroke.

Last week, Trump stayed up late into the night, firing off posts on Truth Social that ranged from attacks against his political enemies to complaints about how he did not win the Nobel Peace Prize and his appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The late-night tirade seemed emblematic of someone who is suffering from "agitated depression," which is a common side effect of people who have suffered from a stroke, according to Dr. Bruce Davidson, a professor at Washington State University’s Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine.

Trump demands Democrats 'cooperate' with ICE in dark screed to deport 'illegal criminals'

President Donald Trump issued a dark, winding screed on Sunday evening following the latest incident where an immigration agent shot and killed a U.S. citizen.

Leaked ICE memo reveals 'broader effort' of Trump's immigration regime: lawyer

A lawyer representing a group of whistleblowers who leaked a recent Department of Homeland Security memo said on Sunday that the document revealed the "broader effort" of President Donald Trump's immigration regime.

Immigration has been the Trump administration's key issue during its second term. The president has empowered immigration agents to aggressively deport as many illegal immigrants as possible and used his platform to largely shield agents from accountability when they have killed American citizens like Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis.
