The FBI conducted an early-morning raid at the home of President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton outside of Washington, D.C. Friday.

FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X Friday morning, hinting about the raid: “NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission,” Patel posted.

The Independent confirmed the ongoing search at Bolton‘s Bethesda, Maryland, home. The Independent observed multiple law enforcement vehicles, parked outside with FBI agents standing outside the door as agents move in and out of the residence. It’s unclear what FBI agents were trying to find or what their case entails. A case file on federal court sites remains sealed.

Insert sad trombone noises

"Small businesses are the backbone of our country, yet these tariffs unfairly target them. Many will have no choice but to close their doors," Landfield wrote. "I urge you to reconsider this policy so that American entrepreneurs and small-business owners like my daughter can continue contributing to our economy without being crushed by costs beyond their control."

Voters approved sick leave mandate by 58%, but lawmakers are caving to lobbying by the state’s chamber of commerce

Being sick is a costly business for Bill Thompson, who worked in the fast-food industry in Independence, Missouri, for more than 30 years, and recently worked at Guitar Center until early July, when he was laid off as.

“As an older worker, I have health issues from working on my feet and with my hands for many years with no breaks for eight to 10 hours a day. I have done it for 38 years now, living paycheck to paycheck,” 54-year-old Thompson said, noting in Missouri, workers are not mandated breaks of any kind during work.

So when Republicans in Missouri repealed a paid sick leave mandate that the state’s voters approved by 58% after an aggressive lobbying campaign by the Missouri chamber of commerce and industry and other business industry groups, he said, “It was a literal gut punch.”

Tired of digressive victimhood.

Roland Mehrez Beainy, owner of the recently opened Trump Burger restaurant in Houston, is currently facing deportation after failing to leave the U.S. on time and being arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

ICE confirmed that Beainy, 28, originally from Lebanon, entered the United States in 2019 on a non-immigrant visitor visa but failed to depart as required by February 12, 2024.

On Tuesday morning, Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced in an internal email that it would offer cash bonuses to agents for deporting people quickly, an incentive meant to motivate the staff to speed up President Trump’s mass deportation campaign.

Less than four hours later, the agency abruptly canceled what was supposed to be a 30-day pilot program.

“PLEASE DISREGARD,” Liana J. Castano, an official in ICE’s field operations division, said in a follow-up email to agency offices around the country.

Detained in immigration raids, Maga mom still has faith in Trump's mass deportation plan

Family of Cynthia Olivera reconsiders support for president after Ice detained her at green card interview

The family of a Canadian national who supported Donald Trump’s plans for mass deportations of immigrants say they are feeling betrayed after federal agents recently detained the woman in California while she interviewed for permanent US residency – and began working to expel her from the country.

“We feel totally blindsided,” Cynthia Olivera’s husband – US citizen and self-identified Trump voter Francisco Olivera – told the California news station KGTV. “I want my vote back.”

Cynthia Olivera, a 45-year-old mother of three US-born children, thus joined a growing list of examples contradicting the Trump administration’s claims that the immigration crackdown it has spearheaded since the president’s return to the Oval Office in January has prioritized targeting dangerous criminals.

Well, she is Canadian so ipso facto she's a commie with the healthcare etc

For the uninformed: List of 🇺🇲war crimes.

The veterans' in the articles’ campaigns that they “fought for”.

For the feds that defended the deletion of the last 🇺🇲Marine Corps abductions in California learn what you're really fighting for.
