Olga Miranda, president of the SEIU Local 87 union, which represents thousands of janitors in the city, said immigration officials showed up at two buildings downtown on Friday. Federal immigration officials did not confirm the action when asked Monday. But an Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, official denied that the agency had any involvement in any action. Miranda declined to say which buildings were targeted, but said hundreds of her members who clean downtown offices stayed away from work Friday evening. Miranda said federal agents showed up in plain clothes and presented badges that said "Department of Homeland Security" to building security when asked, after initially being turned away. One set of agents showed up in the late afternoon carrying an arrest warrant for a specific person, but none of her members were arrested, Miranda said. read more

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Trump officials discovered that 50 million taxpayer dollars were allocated to fund condoms to be distributed in Gaza. "That is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money," Leavit said. A report by the Jerusalem Post claimed that Hamas operatives have been repurposing condoms to create balloons filled with inflammable gases to strike targets in southern Israel since 2017. These condoms attached with improvised explosive devices often land in schools, farm lands and roads. In 2019, they started attaching these condom bombs to rocket-propelled grenades. The helium filled in these condoms were initially imported for medical purposes with Israel consent. read more

Yay! Just as I knew he would!
CDC Removes All HIV Information Because, You Know, 'DEI'Next, he should remove all references to COVID from 2016 through 2020, to prove that it was all a Dem hoax.
This is great news! First Trump eliminated bird flu (by banning any government reports on it), and now he's cured HIV. I assume that Global Warming will meet a similar fate next week, if it hasn't already. All Hail God Emperor Trumpf!

So, nothing about the people in Gaza who have suffered, and all about profiting from that catastrophe?

Trump said he'll move them elsewhere. Antarctica is spacious. Some islands in the Pacific also free for habitation, at least until sea level rise takes them.
