Tim Walz supporters urged to 'rush' donations to his legal fund amid DOJ probe



President Donald Trump's Department of Justice opened an investigation into Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and now the Democrat's supporters are being urged to "rush" donations to his legal defense fund.

'If you're with me, please rush a donation to our legal defense fund and help ensure we can keep fighting for accountability, transparency, and justice.'

Reports surfaced last week that President Donald Trump's Department of Justice is investigating Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and others for potentially violating a conspiracy statute related to statements they made about the deployment of federal immigration agents to the Minneapolis region.

Walz issued a statement following the reports, accusing the Trump administration of "weaponizing the justice system," adding that "threatening political opponents is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic."

Frey similarly accused the Trump administration of weaponizing the federal government "to intimidate local leaders for doing their jobs."

The DOJ issued subpoenas on Tuesday to several Democratic officials, including Walz and Frey.

The subpoenas, which both Walz and Frey confirmed they received, were connected to the DOJ's investigation into whether the officials conspired to impede federal officers from carrying out their duties, according to CBS News.

On Friday, Alpha News reporter Liz Collin shared screenshots of an alleged Walz campaign notification, encouraging supporters to donate to the governor's legal fund.

"Last week, the federal government opened an investigation into me. ... My job is to defend Minnesotans and the rule of law, and I'm sure as hell not backing down. But the road ahead is long, difficult, and expensive," it reads.

"If you're with me, please rush a donation to our legal defense fund and help ensure we can keep fighting for accountability, transparency, and justice," the message reads, featuring a link that redirects to an Act Blue webpage where supporters can donate.

"BREAKING: The DOJ is investigating Tim Walz on baseless charges. Donate now to aid his fight," the webpage states.

Blaze News has reached out to Walz's office for comment.

Here Are 9 Key Moments From Jack Smith’s Congressional Testimony

Here are the key moments from former Special Counsel Jack Smith's testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.

Anti-ICE radical who took credit for the invasion of Minnesota church ARRESTED by feds



Radicals from Racial Justice Network, Black Lives Matter Minnesota, and BLM Twin Cities assembled on Sunday for a so-called "ICE Out Action," then stormed a Christian church in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday morning that at her direction, Homeland Security Investigations and FBI agents arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, the founder of the Racial Justice Network and former president of the Minneapolis chapter of the NAACP, who claimed responsibility for the disruption.

The AG indicated that Chauntyll Louisa Allen, a radical lesbian who has led BLM Twin Cities and worked for the Saint Paul School Board since 2020, was also arrested.

"Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP," wrote Bondi.

'President Trump will not tolerate the intimidation and harassment of Christians in their sacred places of worship.'

FBI Director Kash Patel indicated that both Armstrong and Allen were arrested for alleged violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinics Entrances Act.

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon indicated in the immediate aftermath of the radicals' incursion into Cities Church, which apparently has a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement-affiliated pastor, that her office was looking into potential FACE Act violations "by these people desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshippers."

"We don’t want to prejudge, but I think it is fair to say that I saw multiple federal criminal incidents yesterday, and there will be charges," Dhillon told Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck Monday. "It's only a question of when we can get a judge to sign off on arrest warrants and exactly what the charges would be."

The law prohibits the use of force, threat of force, or physical obstruction to injure, intimidate, or interfere with any person lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise their First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship.

Violations can result in prison time and hefty fines as well as civil lawsuits.

Footage of the church-storming appears to show the mob led by Armstrong blocking the altar, yelling Renee Good's name, and pressing parishioners individually to answer whether they support ICE. One pair of visibly upset churchgoers can be seen in the video comforting one another while the radicals angrily condemn members of law enforcement.

In one video of the mob action, Armstrong apparently yells, "Someone who claims to worship God, teaching people in this church about God, is out there overseeing ICE agents. Think about what we experienced. The murder of Renee Good at the hands of ICE. A Venezuelan national shot by ICE."

Armstrong references a pair of individuals who were shot while allegedly attacking federal agents, then yells, "How dare you claim to be a pastor of God? ... You are involved in evil in our community," video appears to show.

"President Trump will not tolerate the intimidation and harassment of Christians in their sacred places of worship," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Sunday. "The Department of Justice has launched a full investigation into the despicable incident that took place earlier today at a church in Minnesota."

Bondi suggested that there are more arrests to come.

WSJ piece claims Trump isn’t happy with Pam Bondi — divisive propaganda or based?



On January 12, the Wall Street Journal published an exclusive report claiming that President Trump is less than thrilled with Attorney General Pam Bondi.

According to the article, he has complained privately to aides repeatedly in recent weeks, describing Bondi as "weak" and "ineffective" at enforcing his agenda, specifically when it comes to the Epstein files, prosecuting people like former FBI Director James Comey and New York AG Letitia James, and pursuing the shadow figures who orchestrated Biden’s phony 2020 presidential victory.

This is music to many conservatives’ ears. From their perspective, MAGA has waited a year in vain for the heads of D.C.’s slimiest swamp creatures to roll, as was a campaign promise. To discover that Trump himself is perhaps also displeased with the DOJ’s lack of prosecutions is encouraging.

However the report is coming from a mainstream outlet, so a healthy degree of skepticism is necessary, says BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler.

Regardless she feels that the contents of the Wall Street Journal’s report are “very realistic” and “very plausible.”

“It seems like a summary of what you and I have experienced throughout the year,” she says.

According to the article, President Trump told the Wall Street Journal, “Pam is doing an excellent job. She's been my friend for many years. Tremendous progress is being made against radical left lunatics who are good at only one thing: cheating in elections and the crimes they commit.”

“All right, so how do we analyze this article?” asks Liz. “Is this true? Is President Trump finally growing tired of Attorney General Pam Bondi?”

While she acknowledges that “it is true that Pam Bondi has been loyal to President Trump for many years, and that makes the situation perhaps personally a little more awkward,” the reality is President Trump has to decide “whether Pam Bondi is an effective attorney general, not whether she's a loyal friend.”

And the facts don’t lie.

As early as February 2025, it was clear to Liz that Bondi “does not tell the truth to the American people” after she gave Liz and other conservative influencers those “infamous white Epstein binders” that contained no new information on the convicted child sex trafficker.

Bondi’s ineffectiveness has “become more obvious as the summer passed and the fall passed and the new year passed,” says Liz.

"Tulsi Gabbard handed Attorney General Pam Bondi on a silver platter a case against John Brennan and the Obama cronies that fabricated the intelligence community assessment to claim that Russia helped President Trump defeat Hillary Clinton ... and what accountability have they faced?” she asks.

“Trump's administration controls the Department of Justice. We should be seeing indictment after indictment after indictment. And yet what have we seen? We've seen nothing.”

'There will be charges': Harmeet Dhillon assures Glenn Beck church-stormers will face justice as Minnesota lets chaos reign



Department of Justice Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon criticized Minnesota’s Democrat leadership for failing to enforce state law and arrest protesters who stormed into a local church over the weekend.

Dhillon joined Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on “The Glenn Beck Program” on Monday morning to address the incident, in which radicals disrupted a Christian church in the middle of a service.

'We will not let this happen to another church in the United States.'

“We don’t want to prejudge, but I think it is fair to say that I saw multiple federal criminal incidents yesterday, and there will be charges,” she told Beck.

Dhillon explained that as soon as she learned about the situation at Cities Church, she immediately activated prosecutors and sent FBI agents to investigate to determine whether the left-wing radicals had violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act or committed any related criminal offenses, including potential conspiracy charges and material support.

“It’s only a question of when we can get a judge to sign off on arrest warrants and exactly what the charges would be,” Dhillon stated, noting that the federal judges have to be in Minnesota. “This isn’t Texas, and we aren’t getting exactly rapid-fire support for charges there on the pace we would love.”

Dhillon criticized local leaders for failing to enforce the state’s laws by refusing to arrest any of the protesters.

“There could have been arrests yesterday if Keith Ellison, the attorney general of Minnesota, enforced his own laws, and Mary Moriarty, the district attorney of Hennepin County, enforced her own laws,” she remarked.

The Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party endorsed both Ellison and Moriarty for their respective re-election campaigns in 2022.

Dhillon explained to Beck that the federal government “has to jump through some additional hurdles.”

Beck asked Dhillon whether former CNN journalist Don Lemon violated any laws by following the protesters into the church. Dhillon responded that she would reserve comment on that situation but proposed a hypothetical involving "a podcaster, once a news anchor."

A privately owned house of worship is not a public forum for protest in the U.S., she stated, adding that charges would likely be imposed in stages.

“We will not let this happen to another church in the United States. It is un-American, unacceptable, and there is a zero-tolerance policy for it at this DOJ,” Dhillon concluded.

Trump’s Do-Nothing Minnesota Response Is A Weak Embarrassment

While President Trump overzealously obsesses about acquiring Greenland and other foreign policy ventures, AI, and swapping RINO Sen. Bill Cassidy with a RINO House member, a major American state is continuing its rapid descent into Third World despotism. By now, most Americans have seen the viral incident of anti-ICE agitators — which included media hack […]

Latin Kings thug captured after apparent looting of FBI weapons locker caught on camera in Minneapolis



Riots broke out in Minneapolis on Wednesday after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot one of three illegal aliens the Department of Homeland Security claims savagely attacked him in an effort to evade arrest.

During the violent riots, independent journalist Nick Sortor captured damning footage of radicals ransacking and destroying federal vehicles. In one of Sortor's videos, anti-ICE rioters appear to rip a weapons locker out of a federal vehicle. In another video, radicals appear to successfully break open a different weapons locker and seemingly steal a rifle.

Sortor not only managed in the second video to get clear images of the suspected rifle thief's face — a face with a very specific tattoo — but his apparent license plate as well.

'Minnesota leadership ENCOURAGES lawbreaking.'

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday evening that agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives working in concert with Justice Department partners captured a known member of the Latin Kings gang who allegedly stole FBI body armor and weaponry. Fox News confirmed that the suspect is 33-year-old Raul Gutierrez.

Hennepin County Sheriff's Office records indicate that Gutierrez of Inver Grove Heights is being held on theft and weapons charges.

"This criminal is a perfect example of what our brave federal law enforcement agents are up against every day as Minnesota leadership ENCOURAGES lawbreaking," said Bondi.

Bondi indicated that Gutierrez has a history of violence.

FBI Director Kash Patel indicated that "there will be more arrests," emphasizing that "any individual who attacks law enforcement or vandalizes federal property paid for by hardworking taxpayers will be found and arrested."

Sortor, whose vehicle was mobbed and vandalized by anti-ICE radicals on Sunday, noted on Friday that in the wake of the arrest, he has been inundated with complaints from leftists.

"Their Trump Derangement Syndrome is so bad that they're defending violent gang members who steal machine guns. Lmao," wrote Sortor. "What a time to be alive."

Antifa has circulated Sortor's picture on the liberal X knockoff Bluesky.

Journalist Cam Higby indicated on Thursday that he was swarmed and attacked by anti-ICE protesters who had mistaken him for Sortor.

'Seditious' Democrat whines: Slotkin cries intimidation after Trump demands arrests for 'refuse illegal orders' video



A member of the so-called "seditious six" has resurfaced to complain about the Trump administration's response to an incendiary viral video posted late last year.

On Wednesday, Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) posted a response to the Trump administration's investigations into the Democrat lawmakers who famously directed members of the military and intelligence community to "refuse illegal orders" back in November.

'And right now, speaking out against the abuse of power is the most patriotic thing we can do.'

Slotkin, a former Central Intelligence Agency officer, captioned her latest video, "The intimidation *is the point*. And it’s not going to work."

Slotkin claimed that District of Columbia U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro asked to interview her last week in connection with the video she posted with five other Democrats. She said this was "on top of" an FBI counterterrorism investigation that she announced in November.

She said that in response to the video, "the president called for us to be investigated, arrested, and ultimately hanged. He ended up tweeting over a dozen times about that and yesterday, in Michigan, falsely said that I stole my 2024 election."

Slotkin won the 2024 Senate race by a 0.3% margin over former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.).

On Tuesday, President Trump addressed Rogers, who was in the audience at the Detroit Economic Club, saying, "And I think they took that away from you last time. I'll be honest with you, Mike. I really do. I don't like to get things going. I don't like to be controversial at all, but they rigged the election on you. Mine was too big to rig. You were — you won. I'm telling you, you won."

Trump did not clarify who he believes "rigged" that election.

Slotkin claimed that she has received over 100 credible threats, prompting her to heighten security for herself and her family members.

"Now, he's using his political appointees at the FBI and the Department of Justice to follow through with his threats," she continued. "To be clear, this is the president's playbook. Truth doesn't matter. Facts don't matter. And anyone who disagrees with him becomes an enemy, and he then weaponizes the federal government against them.

"It's legal intimidation and physical intimidation meant to get you to shut up. He's used it with our universities, our corporations, our legal community, and with politicians, who falsely believe that doing his bidding and staying quiet will keep them safe."

Slotkin promised not be among them.

Slotkin concluded with a non sequitur and a vague appeal to "values": "Our freedom of speech is worth fighting for. Our values, our core values, are worth fighting for. And right now, speaking out against the abuse of power is the most patriotic thing we can do."

Slotkin was joined by Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.), Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.), Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.), and Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) in the original video, which has since garnered over 18 million views.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia did not return Blaze News' request for comment.

'That's what the Bible tells us': Renee Good's former in-law surprises CNN host with his message



Less than a week after Renee Nicole Good was shot dead while attempting to obstruct a law enforcement operation in Minneapolis with romantic partner Rebecca Good, her former father-in-law appeared on CNN to give his thoughts on the situation.

Timmy Macklin, a Trump supporter, joined CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" on Tuesday night.

'I don't blame ICE. I don't blame Rebecca. I don't blame Renee.'

Host Erin Burnett mentioned that the DOJ did not find substantial reason to launch an investigation into the incident, including the actions of the ICE agents and Good herself. She then asked Macklin how he felt about this aspect of the incident in particular.

Macklin stated, "It's a hard situation all the way around. It's hard for everybody involved. The ICE agent, you know, at first, I didn't see the footage where he was actually [hit]. ... In a flash like that it's hard to say how you would react. From my understanding, he had been through that before, maybe dragged or something. And so, like I said, it's just a hard situation for everybody."

"I don't have any enemies. I love everybody. That's what the Bible tells us: love our neighbors as we love ourselves," Macklin said. "But, you know, I think there's some bad choices. And the word says for the wrath of God will come upon the children of disobedience."

Macklin expressed sympathy for everyone involved but refused to cast the blame on any one party

"I don't blame ICE. I don't blame Rebecca. I don't blame Renee," he said. "I just wish that, you know, if we were walking in the spirit of God, I don't think she would have been there. That's the way I look at it."

Good left behind a 6-year-old son, Timmy Macklin's grandson.
