Daily Episode 264 - This Week in Fascism #45
Summary
Host Corey examines the Trump administration's escalating attacks on political dissent, focusing on the DOJ's investigation into Congresswoman Ilhan Omar aimed at stripping her citizenship. The episode also details ICE's "Arrow One" program, a $100 million domestic surveillance initiative deploying intelligence agents to monitor citizens, which critics argue is a tool for targeting political opponents. Corey argues these actions represent a dangerous slide toward fascism by weaponizing law enforcement to silence opposition.
