Incident: FBI arrested five suspects allegedly planning coordinated New Year’s Eve bombings in Los Angeles.
Group: Identified as the Turtle Island Liberation Front, described as a radical pro-Palestinian, anti-American extremist group.
Details:
- Planned attacks using improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at five locations.
- Four suspects arrested in Lucerne Valley while testing bomb components; a fifth arrested in New Orleans.
- Materials included potassium nitrate, PVC pipes, sulfur powder, and charcoal.
Ideology: Anti-U.S., pro-Palestinian, anti-law enforcement; Instagram posts included “Death to America” and “Free Palestine.”

2. DOJ and FBI Emails on Mar-a-Lago Raid

Revelation: Internal FBI emails show agents doubted probable cause for the August 2022 raid on Trump’s residence.
Concerns:
- Evidence was “single source, uncorroborated, and possibly outdated.”
- FBI suggested less intrusive alternatives, like negotiating with Trump’s attorneys.
- DOJ officials allegedly dismissed optics concerns, saying they “didn’t give a damn.”
Implications: The raid was politically motivated, intended to damage Trump’s chances of reelection.

3. Housing, Immigration, and Economic Policy

Housing Crisis: Attributes skyrocketing rents and home prices to Biden-era immigration policies, citing a HUD report linking immigration to housing demand.
Trump’s Deportation Policy: Claims mass deportations have lowered rents by 1.1% year-over-year and 5.2% since 2022.
Economic Measures: Highlights upcoming tax reforms for 2026:
- No tax on tips.
- No tax on overtime.
- No tax on Social Security for seniors.
