Other records reveal police were aware of — and concerned about — potential excessive use of force by federal police as early as mid-June.

"The online posts have also deepened concern among civil society groups and political language experts that violent rhetoric and racist hate speech are becoming normalized in America, particularly after decades of hard-fought civil rights victories that sought to dismantle such ideologies.

"Deploying an aircraft carrier is a major escalation of military power in a region that has already seen an unusually large U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean Sea and the waters off Venezuela.

Hours before Parnell announced the news, Hegseth said the military had conducted the 10th strike on a suspected drug-running boat, leaving six people dead and bringing the death count for the strikes that began in early September to at least 43 people."

“I’m speaking on the Senate floor right now to ring the alarm.

Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley is holding the floor of the Senate to denounce authoritarianism.

"No previous president has tried to overturn an election, sought to use the military against U.S. citizens, or sought to use the Justice Department as his own personal vendetta machine.

Those comments were deleted in November 2024 following Trump's electoral victory, saying he did so "out of respect" for the office of the president.

Trump appeared to not recognise Rudd at the table - but once he identified himself, Trump quickly made his views known.

"I don't like you and I probably never will," he said."

In 2020, Kevin Rudd wrote on social media that he believed Trump was the 'most destructive' president in US history.
