We’ve seen ICE beating underage American citizens and then throwing their bodies into random parking lots. We’ve seen them attack onlookers and spray journalists with chemical deterrents. And yes, we’ve seen them shoot and kill.

What’s happening is clear: Donald Trump and ICE are turning American cities into active war zones.

And make no mistake why. What Trump and his ICE minions want more than anything else is to generate fear. They want to conduct their mass deportation operation in the dark, with no evidence of the numerous crimes and rights violations they commit on an hourly basis.

They want to disappear people who have accents, who have darker skin, who don’t “look” like Americans. And they don’t want people questioning them.

We’ve seen resistance and protest against their actions work before, like in Los Angeles, Chicago, and during their El Salvador disappearing act. Public pressure and outcry worked. That’s why the videos are so important in this moment.

Americans must continue to see what ICE is doing. We can’t shy away from the tragedy and anger we feel.

Harry Dunn is joined by Siren contributors Sari Beth Rosenberg and Jo Carducci to discuss all of this and more, right here on The Siren Network.

I’ve watched him push back forcefully when they try to downplay what happened that day, and I’ve watched him demand that they stop breaking the law and hang the January 6th plaque. Thank you for your support and your tireless efforts!” -Harry Dunn

Cut to today, and Bongino’s FBI has officially charged a suspect with placing the bombs. When asked recently by Fox News Host Sean Hannity whether he still believed the planting of the bombs was an inside job, Bongino said the quiet part out loud:

“I was paid in the past, Sean, for my opinions, that’s clear, and one day I will be back in that space—but that’s not what I’m paid for now,” Bongino said.

For years, Donald Trump’s acolytes in MAGA have decried the J6 pipe bomber as an Antifa or “Democrat” plant. But new reporting from NBC News shows that Brian Cole Jr., the charged suspect in the pipe bomber case, has confessed to the FBI that he believed Donald Trump’s false conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was rigged. In addition, Cole said he agreed with President Trump, and his claims about the election.

Now that the pipe bomber has been charged, and it’s clear he is a Trump supporter, MAGA has fallen silent.

On this episode of Pours and Perspectives, Harry Dunn is joined by Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, who heroically served alongside Harry to defend the Capitol building and its occupants on J6 as Capitol police officers. The pair also discusses the missing J6 Plaque, and how the U.S. immigration system is in dire need of reform.

One of those GOP members’ messages read, “More explosive early resignations are coming. It’s a tinder box. Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s sudden departure from Congress has opened the floodgates of the Republican split from Donald Trump, as Trump asks Republicans to take increasingly more difficult and hard to defend positions, making their lives ahead of the 2026 midterms a living hell.

Its no wonder then, that this Congress has seen the most amount of retirement announcements (35 so far) since 2018- the notorious blue wave.

It seems that Republicans are seeing the writing on the wall- especially after the huge Democratic victory in the 2025 elections- and are getting out early. MTG won’t be the last.

]]><![CDATA[Marjorie Flips on Trump & Trump Flips on Epstein? What Is Going On Here??]]>https://www.thesirennetwork.com/p/marjorie-flips-on-trump-and-trumphttps://www.thesirennetwork.com/p/marjorie-flips-on-trump-and-trumpTue, 18 Nov 2025 23:32:42 GMTIf you’ve been following the news even a little bit over the past week, it’s been weird. Yes, weirder than normal.

In just the past few days, we’ve seen a brewing MAGA civil war over the Epstein Files erupt into a public smackdown between one of Trump and one of his original acolytes, Marjorie Taylor Greene. This led Trump to publicly unendorse his former ally, which led to MTG releasing private texts between herself and Trump, creating a huge divide inside of MAGA world.

That’s when things got even weirder. Trump, either seeing the political fallout and ramifications on the horizon, or being told by his team that he wasn’t going to get Republicans to vote against the Epstein Files being released, then decided to completely flip on his earlier stance. Trump is now calling for Republicans to vote for the release of the files, and says that he would sign a bill if it came to his desk.

However, Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, had this to say earlier today: “I’ve been recently told the reason they’re going to be releasing these things, and the reason for the flip is that they’re sanitizing these files,” Epstein alleged.

“There’s a facility in Winchester, Virginia, where they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out of it. That’s what I was told by a pretty good source,” he added.

Of course, that is only speculation at this point. Harry Dunn and Rachel Vindman discuss all of this and more, right here on The Siren Network.

]]><![CDATA[After 40+ Days of a Brutal Shutdown, What Did Democrats Actually Gain?]]>https://www.thesirennetwork.com/p/after-40-days-of-a-brutal-shutdownhttps://www.thesirennetwork.com/p/after-40-days-of-a-brutal-shutdownWed, 12 Nov 2025 14:58:35 GMTOn this episode of Pours and Perspectives, Harry Dunn is joined by Joel Rubin to discuss the latest on the deal that Democrats made with Republicans in the Senate to end the government shutdown.

As we all know, this shutdown (which is still ongoing) was caused by Trump and his Republican Party in Congress being unable to act as a real governing party. They might act tough on Twitter, but when it comes down to it, they’re completely useless.

So why, you may ask, is it always incumbent upon the Democrats to come to the rescue, save the day, and make all the concessions? And more importantly, what did Democrats actually get out of this deal to reopen the government?

Harry and Joel answer those questions and much more, right here on The Siren Network.

Jason Crow on Standing Up To Trump, Military Invasions, & More]]>https://www.thesirennetwork.com/p/nobody-is-safe-rep-jason-crow-onhttps://www.thesirennetwork.com/p/nobody-is-safe-rep-jason-crow-onWed, 29 Oct 2025 13:31:41 GMTIt’s Wednesday, October 29th, which means we have just entered the 29th day of the Republican shutdown. As thousands of furloughed federal workers wait in line for food, Donald Trump is on vacation in Asia. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has shutdown the House of Representatives for five weeks now. There are no attempts at negotiations or compromise being made on the side of Republicans, even as Democrats in Congress still come into work everyday.

Recently, Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) said that Mike Johnson has “effectively dissolved” the House. And honestly, that might be the best way to put it.

On this episode of Pours and Perspectives, Harry Dunn is joined by Congressman Jason Crow from Colorado’s 6th Congressional District to discuss Trump’s authoritarian tendencies, the ongoing Russian-Ukraine conflict, the shutdown, and the question on everyone’s mind: Will the 2026 midterms happen?
