Another scary twist in the disappearance of “TODAY” host Savannah Guthrie’s kidnapped mother … TMZ has received an alleged ransom note demanding payment for the release of Nancy Guthrie.
The note, which was sent to us Tuesday morning, demands a specific substantial amount of Bitcoin … the amount is in the millions, and the note demands the cryptocurrency be sent to a specific Bitcoin address.
TMZ has verified the Bitcoin address is real.
There is a deadline connected to the alleged ransom … and an element of “or else.”
In the moment on our live stream above, Harvey and Charles said she was wearing an item mentioned in the note. In fact, the note says she was not wearing it.
The alleged ransom note also describes another item the sender says was damaged at her Tucson-area home.
Alleged ransom note for Nancy Guthrie kidnapping demands millions in Bitcoin.
The House of Representatives has voted 217-214 to partially fund the government and end the partial shutdown.
The bill now heads to Trump’s desk, and he is expected to sign it today.
21 Republicans voted against the bill, including Andy Biggs of Arizona, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Eric Burlison of Missouri, Kat Cammack of Florida, Eli Crane of Arizona, Byron Donalds of Florida, Randy Fine of Florida, Brandon Gill of Texas, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Cory Mills of Florida, Andy Ogles of Tennessee, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Chip Roy of Texas, David Schweikert of Arizona, Keith Self of Texas, Victoria Spartz of Indiana, Greg Steube of Florida, and William Timmons of South Carolina.
21 Democrats also voted in favor.
The bill only funds the Department of Homeland Security until February 13.
Democrats are demanding reforms to ICE including unmasking agents, forcing them to wear body cameras during immigration, and forcing them to obtain warrants from a judge as opposed to administrative warrants against criminal illegal aliens.
On Monday, Kristi Noem announced that the Trump Administration has already partially caved to Democrats’ demands, forcing ICE agents in Minneapolis to immediately wear body-worn cameras, and body cameras will be worn by DHS law enforcement across the country once funding is available. Hopefully, this will show what kind of circumstances ICE agents face when anti-ICE radicals attack them, but it will surely bring more scrutiny to our brave American heroes as they attempt to remove violent criminals from the country.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said he plans to negotiate with Democrats to have the Department of Homeland Security funded before funding lapses.
Per CBS:
Johnson told reporters that any attempt by Democrats to hold up long-term funding for DHS over objections to immigration enforcement would be futile, because ICE and CBP received an influx of money in last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. He said the agencies that would be affected carry out important services like disaster aid and airport security.
“So they have enough funding to go for the next few years,” he said of immigration agencies. “So what they will be tying up, if the Democrats choose to close the government, is these very essential services for everything else – FEMA, Coast Guard, TSA and other aspects of national security.”
The legislation passed last year included $75 billion for ICE and $65 billion for CBP, well beyond their annual allotments.
“This is no time to play games with that funding,” Johnson said. “We hope that they will operate in good faith over the next 10 days.”
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump on Monday called for Republicans to pass the Senate-passed funding deal without any changes.
“There can be NO CHANGES at this time. We will work together in good faith to address the issues that have been raised, but we cannot have another long, pointless, and destructive Shutdown that will hurt our Country so badly — One that will not benefit Republicans or Democrats. I hope everyone will vote, YES!” Trump said.
On Monday The Gateway Pundit’s Cristina Laila reported that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche fired Ed Martin as Chief of the Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group. This was first reported by investigative reporter Paul Sperry.
Last May President Trump tapped Ed Martin to be the US Pardon Attorney after RINO Senator Thom Tillis derailed his nomination for DC US Attorney. He was also personally named by Trump to serve as the Justice Department’s Director of the Weaponization Working Group.
Then on Monday it was reported that Ed Martin was removed from his role as Chief of Weaponization at the DOJ.
A DOJ spokesperson said Ed Martin is still at the Department as the Pardon Attorney.
But there is more to this story.
On Tuesday, Paul Sperry tweeted out a shocking development: That Todd Blanche DID NOT tell the Trump White House that he removed Ed Martin from from the Weaponization Group. This was after President Trump personally hired Ed Martin for the committee.
BREAKING: "[Deputy AG] Todd [Blanche] didn't tell the White House he was removing Ed [Martin] from the [Weaponization Working] Group" after he told Martin he was dismissing him as director during a Dec. 10 meeting at DOJ, even though Trump personally appointed Martin, a source…
ICE agents arrested an illegal alien, a New Orleans Police Department recruit, who was illegally given a gun.
Larry Temah, the 46-year-old illegal alien from Cameroon, was just one week away from graduating from the police academy.
The DHS said in a comment to Fox News: “This illegal alien from Cameroon, Larry Temah, is not only breaking the law with every step he takes in this country illegally, but the New Orleans Police Department hired him and issued him a firearm – what kind of law enforcement department gives criminal illegal aliens guns and badges? It’s a FELONY for illegal aliens to even possess a firearm. Sanctuary cities like New Orleans ignore ICE detainers and are protecting illegal aliens at the expense of American citizens.”
Per Fox News reporter Bill Melugin:
ICE confirms to Fox News that they’ve arrested a New Orleans Police Department recruit who they say is an illegal alien from Cameroon with an active deportation order & no work authorization, & they say he was illegally given a gun by New Orleans PD.
ICE says 46-year-old Larry Temah was one week away from graduating the New Orleans PD academy when they arrested him.
They say Temah first entered the US legally in 2015 on a visitor’s visa and was granted conditional residency after marrying a US citizen in 2016. However, in 2022, his application for permanent residency was denied to due to fraud.
ICE says Temah was ordered to appear in immigration court three times, but never did, disregarding US laws, which resulted in an immigration judge ordering him deported in absentia, resulting in his active deportation order.
NEW: ICE confirms to @foxnews that they’ve arrested a New Orleans Police Department recruit who they say is an illegal alien from Cameroon with an active deportation order & no work authorization, & they say he was illegally given a gun by New Orleans PD.
Migrants flowing across the southern border during the Biden administration have become a trickle under President Donald Trump, according to a new analysis of federal data.
Border Patrol had 237,538 encounters with migrants at the border during the 2025 fiscal year, according to a Pew Research report.
The federal fiscal year begins Oct. 1, which means that roughly four months of the Biden administration are included in the 2025 data.
The data showed a massive drop from full years when former President Joe Biden was in the White House.
Border Patrol racked up 1.5 million encounters in fiscal year 2024, topped 2 million encounters in fiscal year 2023, and had more than 2.2 million encounters in fiscal year 2022.
The 2025 total showed the fewest encounters since 1970.
Pew Research: Migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border are at their lowest level in more than 50 years
When the Biden months were factored out of the data, the difference was even more stark.
Since February 2025, the Border Patrol has had fewer than 10,000 encounters per month at the southwestern border.
Those totals are even lower than during the COVID years, and are lower than data on record over the past 25 years.
September 2025 showed 8,386 encounters along the southwest border, an 84 percent drop from September 2024, according to a news release from the House Homeland Security Committee.
“Southwest border apprehensions are at the lowest level in half a century, and criminal cartels are running out of ways to line their pockets at our expense. Americans can thank President Trump’s proven border security policies for these results, from surging resources to the Southwest border to ending catch-and-release,” Chairman Andrew Garbarino, a Republican from New York, said.
“House Republicans made significant investments in the border barrier system, cutting-edge technology, and growing the CBP workforce, but those resources are only part of the picture. We must continue to build on these border security successes, ensure they last long into the future, and prevent abuse of our immigration system — like we saw under the Biden administration,” he added.

They discovered and seized 10 packages of cocaine, weighing 24.38lbs, and $2,400. pic.twitter.com/lg9Y6sX491
“For the last five months, we have continued to see the border numbers drop to historic lows. We are enabling our men and women of the CBP to do their jobs and keep our border secured,” Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement Chairman Michael Guest, a Republican from Mississippi, said.
“After four years of the Biden-Harris Administration’s disastrous open-border agenda and reckless catch-and-release policies, the American people are finally seeing a return to law and order at our southern border,” Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence Chairman August Pfluger, a Republican from Texas, added.
“Thanks to the strong leadership of the Trump Administration, our borders and our homeland are more secure today than they have been in years,” he said.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) made the mistake on Tuesday to make up stories about about President Trump from the Epstein Files.
Lieu accuses President Trump of “raping” and “threatening to kill children.”
Not a bit of that was true!
Let’s hope that Trump comes down hard on this reckless idiot.
Here are Lieu’s full remarks:
Rep. Ted Lieu: Why are Republicans so interested in Bill Hillary Clinton? It’s because they’re trying to distract from the fact that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there’s highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. I encourage your press to go look at these allegations. I’m highly I’m disturbed that Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanch, just got the law wrong. Yesterday, he said, essentially, that it is not a crime to party with Jeffrey Epstein. Well, that’s actually not correct. If Jeffrey Epstein was human trafficking minors for these sex parties, and you show up and patronize the establishment at that party? Yes, you’re guilty because patronizing is part of the law of the federal sex trafficking law. So Deputy General Tom Lange just got that wrong, which maybe explains why they aren’t investigating all these folks, including Donald Trump.
Via Karli Bonne.
THIS IS VIA GROK: Q: Did Trump threaten to kill a child in the Epstein files?
Grok: No, there is no credible evidence or verified claim in the Epstein files that Donald Trump threatened to kill a child. The recently released Epstein documents (including the large January/February 2026 DOJ batch of ~3 million pages) contain numerous mentions of Trump—hundreds to thousands across files, often in flight logs, emails, news clippings, or passing references from his past social ties to Epstein. However, these do not include any substantiated allegation of Trump threatening to kill a child (or committing murder/violence against one).

Two saboteurs can wreak a lot of havoc.
As European nations are frenetically building up their militaries, the question of whether they can protect their present capabilities is raised.
In the port of Hamburg, the largest in Germany and 3rd largest in Europe, an episode has happened that highlights how insecure military assets actually are.
The Hamburg police and the General Prosecutor’s Office have arrested two shipyard workers: a Romanian and a Greek. They allegedly carried out acts of sabotage on naval ships.
“The accesses took place in Hamburg and in a village in Greece. In addition, apartments of the suspects in Hamburg, Romania and Greece have been searched. The measures were coordinated by Eurojust, which is responsible for cross-border organized crime, in The Hague.
According to the Office of the Public Prosecutor General, the two accused are said to have been arrested several times for the Navy of the United States in 2025 during their work in the Port of Hamburg.”
BREAKING: Germany arrested two suspects this morning over an attempted sabotage of German Navy vessels in Hamburg. Investigators say they damaged a corvette by pouring abrasive material into engines and tampering with fuel and safety systems. pic.twitter.com/GpVYdc67Ef
“The men allegedly poured over 20 kilograms of blasting gravel into the engine block of a ship, also punctured fresh water supply lines, removed fuel caps from fuel tanks and deactivated fuse switches of the ship’s electronics.
The incident was only discovered by a check on board before the first departure of the corvette ‘Emden’ in mid-January in the direction of Kiel.”

The Attorney General’s Office says the men could have caused considerable damage to the Ships or caused a delay in their departure.
The investigations will attempt to discover who the clients of the sabotage are.
CNN’s Senior Data Reporter, Harry Enten/Image: Video screenshot CNN
CNN’s Senior Data Reporter, Harry Enten, shared that Americans are overwhelmingly in support of requiring voter ID.
During his discussion, Enten referenced an X post Nicki Minaj posted on Sunday which stated, ” What sensible forward thinking cutting edge leading nation is having a DEBATE on whether or not there should be VOTER ID?!?!!!!
“Like?!?!? They’re actually fighting NOT to have ppl present ID while voting for your leaders!!!!! Do you get it?!?!!!! Do you get it now?!?!!!”
What sensible forward thinking cutting edge leading nation is having a DEBATE on whether or not there should be VOTER ID?!?!!!! Like?!?!? They’re actually fighting NOT to have ppl present ID while voting for your leaders!!!!! Do you get it?!?!!!! Do you get it now?!?!!!
Enten shared that, despite what Democrats keep saying, 83% of Americans are in favor of it.
John Berman: So voter ID, just so people understand, is the idea that someone shows a photo ID when they go to vote, when they go to cast their actual ballot, because there’s a separate discussion right now about needing a passport or a birth certificate to register to vote. But the polling is all on voter ID showing an ID to vote.
Harry Enten: Showing a photo ID to vote. And the American people are with Nicki Minaj because what are we talking about here? So take a look here. Favor Voter ID to vote. Look, I got all this polling on the screen going back since 2018. You’ll notice on all of it, it’s all north of 75%, 76%, 76%, 76%, 81%, and then 83% in the last year of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj. They favor photo ID to be able to vote.
John Berman: What about by party?
Harry Enten: Yeah, normally you might expect, Hey, there’d be a big divide by party with Republicans really for it and Democrats really against it, but not really here.
I mean, just take a look here. Favor photo ID to vote. You got 95% of Republicans, pretty much all of them, but even 71% of Democrats favor photo ID to vote.
So again, Nicki Minaj posting that on X.And what you see is that the American people, actually, it’s not really all that controversial. The American people are with Nicki Minaj, whether they are Republican or even if they are Democrats, we’re talking about seven in 10 Democrats agreeing with Nicki Minaj that you, in fact, should show a voter photo ID to vote.
John Berman: What’s the racial breakdown?
Harry Enten: Okay, what’s the racial breakdown on this? Because I think a lot of people make the argument that people of non-white Americans have a harder time procuring a photo ID to vote.
But even here, take a look here. Favor photo ID to vote. 85% of White people favor it, 82% of Latino, 76% of Black Americans favor it. So the bottom line is this. Voter ID is not controversial in this country.
A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country.
It is not controversial by party, and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj that, in fact, you should have a photo ID to be able to vote.
John Berman: So something of a non-troversy, in other words.
Harry Enten: Very good. The alliteration of Mr. John Berman, that Harvard education paying off once again.
Watch:
Americans agree with Nicki Minaj when it comes to voter id.
83% of favor photo voter id to vote per Pew. This includes 70%+ of Democrats and Republicans, as well as 75%+ of Americans across races…. White, Black, and Latino.
The Clintons caved to House Oversight Chairman James Comer and agreed to publicly testify this month in the Committee’s Epstein investigation.
Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify before the Oversight Committee after Chairman James Comer moved forward in holding them in criminal contempt of Congress.
“Republicans and Democrats on the Oversight Committee have been clear: no one is above the law—and that includes the Clintons. After delaying and defying duly issued subpoenas for six months, the House Oversight Committee moved swiftly to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings in response to their non-compliance,” Comer said.
“Once it became clear that we would hold them in contempt, the Clintons completely caved and will appear for transcribed, filmed depositions this month,” Comer said.
“We look forward to questioning the Clintons as part of our investigation into the horrific crimes of Epstein and Maxwell, to deliver transparency and accountability for the American people and for survivors,” Comer added.
The Clintons will testify on February 26 and 27.

The murdered Ohio dentist, Dr. Spencer Tepe, was shot 7 times, and his wife, Monique Tepe, was shot 9 times.
Police last month arrested Monique Tepe’s ex-husband, Dr. Michael McKee, a vascular surgeon, and charged him with four counts of aggravated murder and one count of aggravated burglary.

Dr. Spencer Tepe, 37, and his wife, Monique Tepe, 39, were found shot to death in their home on December 30 after police conducted a welfare check.
Their two children were found in the home crying, but were not physically harmed.
Police were called to conduct a welfare check after Dr. Tepe, who was known for being punctual, failed to show up to work at Athens Dental Depot.
Athens Dental Depot owner, Dr. Mark Valrose, told 911 dispatchers that Dr. Tepe always shows up to work on time.
Later that day, Dr. Tepe and his wife, Monique, were discovered dead in their home.
New details reveal that Dr. Tepe and his wife were shot multiple times each.
Monique Tepe had bullet wounds to her arms, hands, chest, and one to the head.
Dr. Tepe had bullet wounds to his arms, torso, and also one to the head.
Shocking development in the double murder of an Ohio dentist and his wife … she was shot 9 times, and he took 7 bullets … and her ex-husband is charged with their murders.
Monique Tepe took one bullet to the head, three to the chest, one to the ribs, one to the forearm, one to the hand and two her upper arm … according to the Franklin County Coroner’s Office.
Spencer, meanwhile, took one bullet to the head, one to the neck, three to the torso, and two to his bilateral upper extremities.
Bullets caused damage to Monique’s lungs and heart … and they fractured bones in her cheek, ribs and arm.
Spencer’s brain, lungs, liver, and colon were ripped apart by the gunshots … and they fractured bones in his skull, ribs and hands. When his body got to the coroner, he still had one bullet lodged inside.
This behavior mirrors the German Nazis’ obsession with occultism.
The Russian RT brings a story that would have had all the markings of pure Moscow propaganda, if it were not brought by a Ukrainian source with knowledge of the inner workings of the Kiev regime.
In an article written by Marina Akhmedova, a member of the presidential human rights council of Russia, we learn that former press secretary to Volodymyr Zelensky, Yulia Mendel, has made claims that sound like tabloid fantasy – but are very real.
According to Mendel, the disgraced former gray eminence Andriy Yermak, former head of the presidential office and Zelensky’s right-hand man, is alleged to seek help from witches of various stripes.
Shady occultists gathering ‘water from corpses’, burning herbs, and performing dark rituals.
He was de facto co-president of Ukraine: “Former press secretary of President Volodymyr Zelensky Yulia Mendel stated that former head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak is engaged in magic, and not just any kind, but with trips to the cemetery and “dead water”.
“She says she first heard whispers of this in 2019. After a briefing, a journalist did not chase the then new president for comments but repeatedly asked Yermak what he had been doing at a cemetery. He ignored the question. A year later, a minister confided to Mendel that Yermak was ‘into magic’. By 2023, someone from an “important service” told her he supposedly kept a “chest of the dead.” These were dolls made by magicians [witches] from Latin America, Israel, and Georgia. That chest, she says, was already ‘filled with the dead’. Interpret that as you wish.”
Zelensky and shady Yermak.
This world is a complete anomaly of the universe. LOL
It’s honestly unbelievable what kind of halfwits have been given the power to make decisions about anything.
“Mages collected water from corpses for Yermak”: Zelensky’s former Office chief turned out to be a… pic.twitter.com/earh4MIPiP
This is not the first time these accusations have emerged against Yermak. Read this from early December 2025:
Again, in the Akhmedova article:
“If Mendel is right, Zelensky’s circle did not even limit itself to local [witchcraft] traditions. Latin American shamanism, with its animal sacrifices and bone-and-flesh talismans, is far removed from Gogol’s Ukraine. To seek out such practices suggests obsession, not folklore.”
The author chillingly suggests that ‘Ukraine’s human losses are not simply tragic necessity [of the war], but offerings. They are sacrifices to dark forces in exchange for power’.
It would also explain ‘the Kiev elite’s almost mystical faith in victory’, and their Godless persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
“And Zelensky? Mendel’s account leaves us with a grim image: a leader who once played a clown on television, now presiding over real tragedy, trusting not in diplomacy or realism, but in spells. A clown doll in a box of the dead.”
Billie Eilish delivers a woke victory speech at the Grammys on Sunday. Credit: CBS screenshot
A Native American tribe that once owned land under leftist pop star Billie Eilish’s LA home sent a sharp message to her after she went on a rant at the Grammy Awards on Sunday.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Eilish went viral for an incredible lack of self-awareness while trying to pander to her fellow millionaires and left-wing allies.
After winning “Song of the Year,”, she committed a brutal self-own in her victory speech by stating “No one is illegal on stolen land” before going on bash immigration enforcement.
“We need to keep fighting and speaking up,” she added. “Our voices do matter.”
“F**k ICE.”
WATCH:
Eilish’s comments were brutally mocked on social media by conservatives, who called on her to return her property to the Native Americans or to house illegal aliens.
Her comments went so viral they attracted attention from prominent conservatives such as Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Now, The Daily Mail has revealed that the Tongva tribe confirmed that Eilish’s mansion does indeed sit on “ancestral land.”
They also did not take kindly to her virtue-signaling.
Instead, they scolded her for not contacting them regarding her property and for not referencing them specifically in her speech. Ouch.
“Eilish has not contacted our tribe directly regarding her property, we do value the instance when public figures provide visibility to the true history of this country,” a spokesperson for the tribe told the Daily Mail.
“It is our hope that in future discussions, the tribe can explicitly be referenced to ensure the public understands that the greater Los Angeles Basin remains Gabrieleno Tongva territory,” the spokesperson continued.
The Tongva tribe inhabited Los Angeles Basin, including Los Angeles County, parts of Orange County, and the islands of Santa Catalina, San Clemente, Santa Barbara, and San Nicolas for over 7,000 years.
Jill Biden’s ex-husband Bill Stevenson was charged with first-degree murder of his wife, Linda Stevenson.
Last month police swarmed Stevenson’s home after his wife died amid a domestic dispute.
Police removed several items from the Stevenson home last month.
64-year-old Linda Stevenson, wife of Jill Biden’s ex-husband Bill Stevenson, was found unresponsive after police arrived to the New Castle, Delaware, residence late Sunday night.
According to TMZ, Linda Stevenson was found dead in the living room.
TMZ obtained 911 dispatch audio, which references cardiac arrest:
#Exclusive Jill Biden's ex-husband's wife dies after Delaware cops were called for a domestic dispute, and found her unresponsive.
A Delaware man who was previously married to former First Lady Jill Biden has been arrested and charged with murder after his wife was found dead in their home late last year.
What we know:
William Stevenson, 77, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of his 64-year-old wife Linda Stevenson after a weeks-long investigation.
Linda was found unresponsive on the living room floor after officers responded to a home on the 1300 block of Idlewood Road for a domestic dispute call on December 28, 2025. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Monday, William was taken into custody at the same home.
Joe Abraham’s 20-year-old daughter, Katie, was killed by an illegal immigrant from Guatemala. The illegal, who is suspected of drunk driving, struck Katie at high speed while she was stopped at a red light.
The White House shared a video of Joe rebuking anti-ICE activists and Democrats for protecting illegals over the safety of Americans like his daughter, noting, “THIS IS OUR WHY.”
Joe told Fox News, “The person that killed Katie, Julio Cucul-Bol, who was using an alias, who couldn’t read or write English or Spanish, he was using a Kai Qi language, barreled into them at 80 miles an hour.”
“Katie died on the scene. He fled the scene.”
“So you hear a lot of this like, ‘Oh, you’re separating families and you’re disappearing people.'”
“Well, I was separated. Katie has been disappeared. Why is there no consideration on that for Katie?”
“When am I going to get a phone call to say, ‘Let’s go to Springfield and protest Governor Pritzker’s radical policies?'”
“He nullifies federal law. He tells Congress that immigration is their purview. He nullifies it, basically comes up with his own immigration plan, which is nothing. Clearly, it was nothing. He allows hundreds of thousands in.”
“Katie wasn’t the only victim, and he’s got nothing but silence for us.”
“Unfortunately, Renee Good in Minnesota, two seconds in, he’s in front of the mic. I don’t understand the one-sided compassion.
“Apparently, Katie does not qualify for any compassion from our governor, J. B. Pritzker.”
Watch:
20-year-old Katie Abraham was tragically killed last year in Illinois by an illegal alien.
Her father speaks out on sanctuary cities and the Democrats’ one-sided compassion: “Apparently, Katie does not qualify for any compassion from our governor, Pritzker.”

NBC personality Savannah Guthrie pictured with her mother, Nancy. (@TODAYshow / X)
A harrowing discovery has been made inside the home of Nancy Guthrie, the mom of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, as the famed anchor has broken her silence.
Law enforcement sources informed the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday morning that blood was discovered along with signs of forced entry in Nancy’s house, which is in Catalina Hills, Arizona.
Police have not confirmed at this point whose blood it was.
“At this point, investigators believe she was taken from the home against her will, possibly [in the] middle of the night,” Pima County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Kevin Adger to the LA Times.
“Detectives are looking into a possible kidnapping or abduction,” he added.
As The Daily Mail reported, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos choked up and almost burst into tears Monday night when asked if he thought Nancy was still alive.
“Do you believe you are still looking for Nancy Guthrie alive at this point? That she could be held somewhere? And if so, do you believe that is local in the Tucson area, or that she’s been taken somewhere?” AZFamily host Briana Whitney asked.
An emotional Nanos stumbled on his words as he stated: “You know, we’re just not going to give up hope. We hope she’s out there somewhere.”
As The Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra MacDonald reported, Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC’s “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie, has been reported missing, and law enforcement described the scene they encountered at her Arizona home as “very concerning.”
Homicide detectives were sent in, which is not standard practice in a missing person case, and Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said that the house is a crime scene.
“She did not leave on her own, we know that,” Nanos said during Sunday’s press conference.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen on Saturday night, at around 9:30 p.m., near where she lives in the Catalina Foothills.
She was reported missing on Sunday, around noon, by a relative.
Savannah Guthrie posted the following message on Instagram, where she asked for people to pray for her mother’s safe return.
“Thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant,” she wrote. “Raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment.”
Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader the radical left La France Insoumise party via Wikimedia Commons
A political taboo long enforced across Europe fractured this week when French far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon openly invoked the term “Great Replacement” during a municipal campaign event—language left-liberals, globalists, and pro-mass migration activists have spent years condemning as dangerous “conspiracy theory.”
Speaking in support of La France Insoumise (LFI) candidate François Piquemal, Mélenchon addressed critics on the conservative-nationalist right by declaring, “Yes, Mr. Zemmour, yes, Mr. Bayrou, there is a ‘Great Replacement.’” The remark stunned observers, given the French left’s long-standing effort to criminalize or censor the term.
Mélenchon, being the clever politician that he is, attempted to soften the impact by redefining the phrase as a matter of generational change rather than immigration. He said the “Great Replacement” simply described “a generation which comes after another,” calling it a natural process that has existed “since the dawn of time.”
Yet Mélenchon went further, explicitly linking the concept to his party’s political ambitions. He said upcoming municipal elections should demonstrate LFI’s ability to “embody the new France, that of the Great Replacement,” framing demographic transformation as an electoral asset rather than a concern.

Conservative figures immediately saw and highlighted the comments as a blatant admission. Reconquête founder Éric Zemmour said Sunday that Mélenchon had confirmed what critics have argued for years.
“He finally admits it,” Zemmour said. “La France Insoumise is the party of the Great Replacement.” Zemmour added that Mélenchon is openly staking his political future on immigrant-heavy urban districts.
National Rally president Jordan Bardella echoed the criticism, accusing Mélenchon of promoting “community fragmentation” and empowering political Islam under the banner of diversity.
Mélenchon, for his part, responded dismissively on social media, comparing demographic change to leadership succession. “Jean-Marie Le Pen was replaced by you,” he told Bardella, calling it “the mechanism of life.”
The controversy is not confined to France. Across Europe, left-wing parties that once denied demographic change are increasingly reframing it as inevitable—and desirable.
In Spain, leading figures from the radical-left Podemos party have made similar remarks. Senior Podemos politicians have spoken of Spain becoming a “plurinational” and “post-traditional” society, with some explicitly celebrating large-scale demographic transformation driven by mass immigration as a political necessity.
Last week, a video out of Spain, circulated widely online, drawing attention well beyond the country’s borders and reigniting debate over how parts of Europe’s radical left approach immigration policy. The clip has intensified claims that, for some political actors, migration is viewed not merely as a social issue but as a mechanism for long-term electoral change.
They are saying it out loud.
They want to replace citizens with foreigners so they can gain power.

One prominent Podemos figure previously described mass migration as essential to building a “new Spain,” remarks widely interpreted by critics as endorsing population replacement while dismissing native cultural continuity as obsolete.
The video features Irene Montero, a senior figure in Spain’s far-left Podemos, a former equality minister, and a current member of the European Parliament (MEP), speaking at a public event. In her remarks, Montero said she hoped immigration would help “sweep this country of fascists and racists,” language that critics say suggests an intent to reshape the electorate through demographic transformation.
After spreading on X, the footage quickly went viral, amassing more than five million views and becoming a flashpoint in wider European political discussion.
Like Mélenchon, Spain’s radical left has attempted to rebrand these statements as inclusive or progressive, while continuing to label critics as extremists or conspiracists.
The shift reflects a broader European trend: denial has given way to normalization. What was once dismissed outright is now being reinterpreted, repackaged, and integrated into campaign messaging—especially in urban districts transformed by decades of mass immigration.
For years, the phrase “Great Replacement” was treated as radioactive across Western politics. Journalists, academics, and politicians insisted demographic change was either imaginary or irrelevant. Now, leading figures on the left are openly discussing and celebrating it—while attempting to control the narrative.
Newly elected Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger is poised to release a savage illegal alien convicted of brutally murdering his own infant sister, and she has no intention of handing him over to federal immigration authorities for deportation.
The monster in question is Alvaro Mejia-Ayala, a 21-year-old (now 22) Salvadoran national who, in September 2025, wrapped a charging cord around the neck of his helpless 8-month-old baby sister in Loudoun County.
The infant was found unresponsive, the white cable still constricting her tiny throat. Despite desperate medical efforts, she succumbed to her injuries days later, her young life extinguished in a fit of incomprehensible violence.
Court documents reveal the horror: Mejia-Ayala allegedly told a friend he was “playing” with his sister and “may have killed her” before fleeing the scene.
Police arrested him shortly after, charging him with strangulation — and later, murder — as the baby’s condition deteriorated and she passed away.
During a Fox News segment with Kayleigh McEnany, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin described what she called a direct consequence of Virginia’s sanctuary-style policies following the transition away from cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
Kayleigh McEnany: To get these immigrants out of the prisons—it is safer for everyone than street operations. So it seems like Spanberger… what, she didn’t get the memo?
Tricia McLaughlin: I guess she didn’t get the memo, because we had a great partnership with Glenn Youngkin and his team on the ground there to make sure that when these criminal illegal aliens who are in the jails, in their custody, once they serve their time, that we are notified and they can be turned over to ICE to be released back into their own country.
But, Kayleigh, I want to give you one example—and your viewers one example—of a direct response to this. There is an illegal alien that we arrested from El Salvador in September of last year. He was arrested for strangling, with an electric cord, his eight-month-old sister. Oh my goodness—she was killed.
Because of these policies—because of these new sanctuary city policies out of Virginia—once this individual serves his time, he will go back onto Virginia’s streets because we’re not allowed to be notified. That is absolutely heinous, and Virginians are going to be a lot less safe because of this policy.
Kayleigh McEnany: Tricia, that is insane, what you just told me. And I saw on your Twitter feed that in New York—this is just likewise insane—6,947 illegal aliens with criminal records were just let out onto the streets of New York, right behind me.
Tricia McLaughlin: That’s exactly right. And we saw the same out of Minneapolis, which, of course, we’re trying to solve for. I’m so glad that Tom Homan is on the ground there, trying to make what are really common-sense deals, because all we’re asking for is state and local cooperation.
I mean, just a couple more of these individuals that we’ve picked up off the street in the last few days, Kayleigh, out of Minneapolis: an individual from Laos, convicted of rape and sexual assault; an individual from Vietnam, convicted of sexual assault, homicide, and negligent manslaughter; another from Laos, convicted of homicide.
These are the people who’ve been walking around Minneapolis with impunity for the last few years, and who ICE—because we’re not allowed into those jails—has had to flood the zone to get these individuals out of the country. That’s what we’re doing in Minneapolis. That’s what we’re going to be doing in New York with those sanctuary city policies.
INSANE! Dem Gov. Abigail Spanberger is about to RELEASE this illegal alien monster who strangled his 8-month-old baby sister with a charging cord, WITHOUT handing him over to ICE!
He’ll walk Virginia streets free instead of getting deported. We’re not even allowed to be… pic.twitter.com/Fh3o80PGD2
Elon Musk doubles-down, calls out Mark Kelly for putting Urkaine before the US.
Under the direction of France’s globalist President Macron, French authorities escalated their confrontation with American tech entrepreneur Elon Musk this week, launching high-profile raids of X’s offices in Paris and summoning Musk himself for what prosecutors termed a “voluntary interview.”
The move marks a dramatic intensification of France’s long-running effort to rein in the America-based free-speech platform.
According to the Paris public prosecutor’s office, the operation was carried out by French cybercrime units with assistance from Europol, targeting the French premises of X. Authorities claim the investigation centers on whether X’s algorithm improperly influenced French political discourse.
Summonses were issued to Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino, calling them to Paris in April 2026 to answer questions related to the probe. Yaccarino, who stepped down last year, is listed alongside Musk as a manager during the period under review.
The investigation was formally opened in January 2025 following complaints filed by French political figures aligned with President Emmanuel Macron’s globalist government. Chief among them was MP Éric Bothorel, who accused X of allowing too much ideological diversity and objected to Musk’s direct involvement in platform governance.
To critics of the French government, of which there is no shortage, that complaint alone revealed the true nature of the case—not criminal enforcement, but political retaliation.
Under Musk’s ownership, X has dismantled many of the vague content controls that once favored left-wing establishment narratives across Europe.
French prosecutors later broadened their inquiry, citing concerns related to X’s AI chatbot Grok, including claims it produced offensive or false content. Musk’s company responded by correcting errors, removing disputed posts, and publicly documenting its moderation actions—steps critics say would have been praised had they come from a European firm.
France’s legal framework, which criminalizes certain forms of speech, has long clashed with America’s First Amendment traditions. That tension now sits at the heart of the transatlantic standoff, as Paris seeks to apply its speech codes to a American-owned platform operating globally.
The timing has also raised eyebrows. The raid comes as right-wing, national-conservative, and anti-globalist parties continue gaining ground across Europe, often using X as a primary channel to bypass legacy media. For Macron’s government, controlling the digital battlefield is increasingly viewed as a political necessity.
Officials close to the investigation insist the probe is purely legal, yet the rhetoric surrounding it suggests otherwise. The Paris prosecutor’s office openly framed the case as ensuring X’s “compliance” with French law—language critics say sounds like ideological enforcement.
X’s leadership has rejected the allegations outright, calling the investigation “politically motivated” and warning that it risks setting a dangerous precedent for state-directed censorship. The company maintains it enforces clear, public rules while protecting open debate.
Washington has also weighed in. American officials previously warned that aggressive European enforcement against American tech firms could trigger retaliation, particularly if free expression is curtailed under the guise of digital regulation.
The European Union has separately launched its own inquiries into X, part of a broader regulatory push that disproportionately targets American platforms while leaving state-aligned European media largely untouched.
Macron’s government, already weakened by public backlash over immigration, economic stagnation, and unabashed top-down governance, now appears determined to silence platforms that refuse to follow the approved script. X’s openness has made it a focal point for dissent the French establishment no longer controls.
Examples of pathogen-labeled containers found at the Reedley Biolab. (Select Committee on the CCP)
Federal agents with the FBI and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department executed a dramatic early-morning raid on a residential property in northeast Las Vegas this weekend after investigators uncovered what appears to be a fully operational illegal biological laboratory inside a private home.
Refrigerators containing unknown liquids and vials of suspected biological material were found inside the residence, prompting an aggressive response from HazMat teams, SWAT units, and FBI specialists due to the potential threat presented by the materials, The Hill reported.
At least one individual was taken into custody in connection with the Las Vegas raid, identified by local officials as a 55-year-old property manager, Ori Solomon.
He is currently booked on felony charges linked to the improper disposal of hazardous waste, though investigators continue to determine the full scope of charges that may arise.
Property records reveal that the Las Vegas home is owned by “David Destiny Discovery, LLC,” according to The Sun.
If that name sounds familiar, it should. It is a shell company registered to Jia Bei Zhu (also known as David He), the very same Chinese national who ran the illegal Reedley, California biolab exposed in 2023.
Zhu, a fugitive from Canada with deep ties to the Chinese government, is currently in federal custody.
The FBI has taken the lead in analyzing the more than 1,000 samples collected from the scene, with evidence transported to federal laboratories for further testing.
Sheriff’s officials report that investigators are proceeding “methodically” to identify the substances and determine whether criminal activity involving biological agents is at play.
Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) is already sounding the alarm, demanding immediate hearings.
“An illegal bio lab was just raided in Vegas. It is directly linked to the secret Chinese lab found in California in 2023, which was oozing with E. Coli, HIV, and Malaria. Congress must pass our bill to find these illegal labs and shut them all down,” Kiley wrote on X.

As The Gateway Pundit reported in 2023, an illegal bio lab was discovered in a believed-to-be vacant building in Reedley, California in Fresno County on March 3.
City code enforcement stumbled upon the building in December 2022 when they discovered a garden hose running up into the building through a hole in the wall. In March, they obtained a warrant to inspect the property, and in April, the Fresno County Department of Public Health ordered an inspection of the facility.
Investigators inspected the building that contained the lab in July and found a room used to make COVID-19 tests and pregnancy tests. They also found over 35 freezers and refrigeration units that contained “thousands of bodily fluids, serums, tissues, and other medical items.”
The company alleged to be running the lab, Prestige BioTech, is based out of Nevada and is the successor to Universal Meditech, Inc (UMI). In Dec. 2022, the FDA announced a recall over 56,000 “Skippack Medical Lab” Rapid Anti-Gen COVID-19 tests distributed by UMI to California and Texas.
Another representative of Prestige BioTech, David He, dodged questions regarding accountability and ownership of the company and whether or not they were properly disposing of the hundreds of dead mice. Prestige would not confirm if the biologics contained in the lab were theirs.
Prestige BioTech was able to operate 35 freezers and refrigeration devices without anyone questioning the electrical draw that would be required for a building that “was supposed to be vacant,” according to City Manager Nicole Zieba. When investigators entered the building on July 5th, however, the power to the refrigerators and freezers “was lost” but the biological samples were still frozen.
Court documents show that “48 containers (appx. 44 gallons per container) full of biological material and medical waste” were removed on one day followed by another 31 the next day for a total of 75 containers full of biological material and medical waste.
According to court documents reported by NBC News, “the other addresses provided for identified authorized agents were either empty offices or addresses in China that could not be verified.”
Recent findings indicate that Prestige Biotech, officially registered in Nevada, lacked authorization to operate in California.
City of Reedley code enforcement officials engaged with Xiuqin Yao, identified as the President of Prestige Biotech in emails and legal documents. Yao disclosed that the company was the primary creditor of Universal Meditech (UMI), Inc., a company that filed for bankruptcy. UMI had moved from Fresno to a warehouse in Reedley after an electrical fire and subsequently ceased operations. NBC News reports that Prestige Biotech was not only a creditor to UMI but was also named as its successor in legal filings.
A once-high-ranking executive at a major Chicago safety-net hospital has been taken into custody in Serbia, nearly two years after federal authorities accused him of orchestrating one of the biggest alleged COVID-19 fraud schemes in U.S. history.
Anosh Ahmed, the former chief financial officer of Loretto Hospital, was arrested in Belgrade on Nov. 30, 2025, according to court filings.
Ahmed, who fled the United States after facing initial fraud charges, now remains in Serbian custody as federal prosecutors prepare a formal extradition request.

JUST IN: U.S. healthcare exec Anosh Ahmed arrested in Serbia for $300 million Covid fraud scheme pic.twitter.com/NYgjIJvWUB
Per the latest court filing, the United States government first received notice of Ahmed’s arrest in Serbia on Nov. 30, 2025. Shortly after learning of his arrest, the American government told the eastern European country it intended to seek extradition and submitted a formal “extradition package” on Jan. 23.
U.S. officials said they learned on Dec. 30, 2025, that a Serbian court denied Ahmed’s petition to be released to a Belgrade hotel and ordered him to remain in Serbian custody.
As of now, Ahmed’s trial date is set for July 2026, though that’s subject to a pending request by Ahmed’s attorney to push the trial to September 2026, according to the filing.
Ahmed has been accused of orchestrating a “single, widespread scheme to submit more than $800 million in false claims to the United States Health Resources and Services Administration for reimbursement of COVID-19 testing of uninsured individuals,” the filing stated. The scheme unfolded from June 2021 through March 2022, according to the filing, which was submitted by the office of U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois Andrew Boutros.
As part of the scheme, Ahmed and others are accused of accessing personal data of more than 150,000 patients to get reimbursement for COVID-19 tests that were never administered.
Ahmed also came under controversy in the early days of the pandemic when vaccinations first began rolling out on a limited basis. Back in 2021, Ahmed and other Loretto Hospital execs held vaccination events at high-end locations, including watch dealers and Trump Tower in Chicago. That runs in contrast to Loretto’s mission as a safety-net hospital.
Another day, another socialist millionaire in Congress.
It turns out Ilhan Omar isn’t the only member of the far-left “Squad” getting rich while denouncing capitalism. New reports reveal that Massachusetts Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley has seen her family’s net worth explode since entering the swamp in 2018.
According to a bombshell report from Fox News, highlighted by Kayleigh McEnany and David Asman, the “anti-capitalist” Squad member has gone from a negative net worth when she was elected to holding assets worth up to $8 MILLION today.
Back in 2018, when Pressley first ran for Congress, her financial disclosures showed a negative net worth of around -$12,500 to modest figures, with limited assets.
Fast-forward to her 2024 disclosures (filed in 2025), and the picture is dramatically different: Pressley now reports assets valued between $1 million and $8 million, including a luxurious Martha’s Vineyard rental property worth up to $5 million and multiple Boston rental properties valued up to $1 million each.
In 2019, she only reported one Boston property. How does a congressional salary of $174,000 account for this massive windfall?
A key piece of the puzzle points directly to her husband, Conan Harris.
Just three days before Pressley was sworn into Congress in January 2019, Harris resigned from his $92,500-a-year position as a senior public safety adviser in then-Mayor Martin Walsh’s Boston City Hall administration.
He immediately launched his own consulting firm, Conan Harris & Associates.
Ethics experts raised red flags at the time, warning that the timing could create the appearance of profiting off Pressley’s rising political profile.
Harris, a convicted felon who served 10 years in prison for drug trafficking before turning his life around, cited the need for “professional flexibility” to support his wife’s career.
Yet his income reportedly tripled and more, reaching up to $350,000 by 2021 and even higher in subsequent years through consulting gigs with nonprofits, businesses, and organizations tied to government initiatives.
Pressley’s disclosures show the couple pulling in significant rental income, up to $350,000 in one recent year from property sales and rents, including from that posh Martha’s Vineyard home purchased in 2023.
While Pressley postures as a champion of the working class and demands rent relief for tenants, she’s quietly become a major landlord reaping capitalist profits.
David Asman ripped into the hypocrisy on Fox News.

Miami Mayor Eileen Higgins, the city’s first Democrat mayor in nearly three decades, openly declared her intention to hamstring cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and severely limit local enforcement of federal immigration laws, a move that will turn Miami into a sanctuary city by stealth.
Higgins, who defeated Trump-endorsed candidate Emilio Gonzalez, is wasting no time pushing a dangerous, open-borders agenda.
Speaking on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” on CBS News Sunday, Higgins acknowledged that Miami is currently complying with Florida’s state-mandated cooperation with ICE, but made clear she intends to furl out that cooperation to the bare minimum.
Margaret Brennan: Mayor Higgins, nearly 7% of Florida is undocumented, according to you. In Miami, the police cooperate with ICE. But you, during your campaign, were very critical of that decision to cooperate. Can you change the policy without the governor being on board?
Mayor Eileen Higgins: The governor issued a requirement that local municipalities cooperate with ICE, and many municipalities, including the City of Miami, before I became mayor, signed that agreement. It is very difficult to unwind. It would take a vote of our city commission to do so.
So obviously, as mayor, I intend to comply with the law. And so what we have done in our 1,500-person police department is we have trained three individuals—should ICE call—who are able to answer that call and work with them. Obviously, we’re going to comply with the law, but we are not going to help beyond that.
Because in my community, in South Florida, we are the most affected. ICE and its tactics have been in my community for over a year. They have been causing great fear and terror among our residents. I cannot go anywhere without meeting someone—my brother, my uncle, my sister—“Alligator Alcatraz.” No sabemos dónde está. We don’t know where they have been taken. And that has been going on for months.
It is inhumane. It is cruel. I’m a Catholic. We can barely grapple with the lack of humanity around all this. And then what we have—very differently from any other community in Miami-Dade County, which we are part of—is that approximately 15% of our population has TPS.
So you’re talking Temporary Protected Status. You’re talking about between 250,000 and 300,000 individuals who have slowly but surely, as they’ve lost status, become overnight “illegals” in the eyes of the federal government.
And this enforcement in our Nicaraguan community, our Hondureño community, our Venezuelan community, has driven many people into hiding. Children are not going to school, and obviously ICE is deporting them.
Tuesday night, we face a very dire situation. Our Haitian community loses its access to TPS at midnight. Twenty percent of TPS recipients with Haitian status are in health care. On Wednesday, we are talking about nursing homes, home health care aides, hospitals, nurses, physician assistants—all of them are going to be out of a job when they wake up on Wednesday morning.
Margaret Brennan: Because their legal pathway and status are going to be revoked, and suddenly they become…
Mayor Eileen Higgins: —unnecessarily. Haiti is not safe. Venezuela is not safe. TPS should be extended immediately for Venezuelans. It was erased with a stroke of a pen. It could be put in place with a stroke of a pen.
TPS for Haitian immigrants should absolutely, positively be extended. Our economy is at stake, and our humanity is at stake.

Democrats love to brag about a win, but their human Ponzi scheme might be nearing a collapse.
They cling to isolated election results like life rafts, using them to convince themselves and others that all is well.
Even as Democrats celebrated a surprise state special election victory in Texas over the weekend, a far less friendly reality surfaced on far-left CNN.
That reality check came from Harry Enten, the network’s chief data analyst, who advised his Democratic viewers against reading too much into that and other recent victories.
Such wins might be comforting but are misleading, as presidential election years are the ones that see the major turnout.
“In politics, we often lose sight of the long term because we’re so focused in on the short term,” Enten said Sunday, while homing in on population trends.
CNN’s Harry Enten warns Democrats about a “blue state depression” that could make the math harder for them after 2030. pic.twitter.com/Ax2M0e2ih2
Those trends, he warned, should alarm Democrats and encourage Republicans because Americans are leaving blue states and moving to red ones.
Enten pointed out that the states experiencing the largest population gains since the 2020 Census are Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona – all states that were carried by President Donald Trump in 2024.
At the same time, he noted what he described as a “blue state depression.”
That decline is driven mostly by residents fleeing Democratic strongholds like California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, and Massachusetts – all states carried by Kamala Harris.
Apparently, productive residents leave when taxes are suffocating, crime is tolerated, housing is unattainable, and leaders are openly hostile to the actual people funding the system.
Why would anyone stay in a place that treats them like a problem when there are alternatives?
A Californian can move to Texas or Florida and immediately stop paying higher taxes to support bloated bureaucracies and failed social experiments.
Voters in Minnesota and other “blue wall” states are reaching similar conclusions as they watch their leaders’ priorities in the post-COVID era.
And according to Enten, the consequences go well beyond state politics. He explained that if current population trends hold through 2030, Democrats would lose seven seats in the U.S. House due to reapportionment.
Republican states would gain seven.
Then Enten made a point Democrats don’t want to hear.
Applying current population estimates to the Electoral College — in which a state’s number of votes depends on its number of representatives in the House and Senate — he explained that the traditional Democratic strategy no longer works.
Even if Democrats carried their base states plus Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, that path would fall short.
Under those estimates, Democrats would reach only 263 electoral votes, which is below the 270 needed to win.
The “blue wall,” as Enten showed, is no longer enough.
Democrats might be crazy, but those at the top aren’t as stupid as the party’s street thugs and understand this.
That is why their reaction to Trump’s immigration enforcement is so hysterical. Their long-term strategy is set.
They want to continue to replace lost residents with immigrants. Legal or illegal, the key is ensuring they are all counted in the next Census at least once.
People with the means to leave blue states are doing so in large numbers, and so Democrats rely on incoming numbers to stave off a collapse.
Years of failed leadership are finally catching up with them, and like with any Ponzi scheme, they constantly need new capital invested to stay afloat.
In this case, the capital is foreign nationals, and as long as enough of them keep coming, Democrats can afford to write the check for those leaving.
