DEEP STATE: Is This EPA Lawyer Undermining Trump’s Agenda From Within?
• May 15, 2026
An Environmental Protection Agency lawyer and union leader has signed a dissent letter opposing President Donald Trump’s policy at the agency and has posted on social media attacking EPA Director Lee Zeldin, but appears to still be employed there.
This activity raises questions as to whether she might be a “deep state” actor, working to undermine Trump’s policies from within the administration.
Nicole Cantello serves as president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 704, the EPA’s labor union. A verified LinkedIn profile lists her as an attorney at the EPA.
Declaration of Dissent
On June 30, 2025, Cantello signed a “Declaration of Dissent” addressed to Zeldin.
“EPA employees join in solidarity with employees across the federal government in opposing this administration’s policies, including those that undermine the EPA mission of protecting human health and the environment,” the letter states. “Today, we stand together in dissent against the current administration’s focus on harmful deregulation, mischaracterization of previous EPA actions, and disregard for scientific expertise.”
This letter expresses a “deep state” attitude reflected in a poll from last year.
An RMG Research poll found that 75% of Washington, D.C.-area federal employees who made at least $150,000 a year and who voted for Kamala Harris in 2024 would disobey a lawful Trump order if they considered it bad policy.
The letter took a hostile stance to the new administration’s policy objectives, condemning Zeldin’s exposure of “green slush funds,” accusing the EPA of ignoring science, championing “environmental justice” against the administration’s priorities, and claiming the administration created a “culture of fear” by firing federal workers. Many of these complaints trace back to ideological disagreements with the Trump agenda.
Good riddance to the loathsome Rep. Steve Cohen
Redistricting Bears Fruit With a Stunning Move From TN Dem
The redistricting battle being fought across the nation has caused a sea change, and now, it's having a notable effect in Tennessee.
We saw Democratic lawmakers melting down a week ago over the changes, with state Rep. Justin Pearson (D-Memphis) getting into a disturbing exchange with a state trooper. The redistricting redrew a black majority district, the 9th district, which is currently represented by Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen (TN-09). Cohen is not black. He's held the seat for 19 years, since 2007. He's had black Republicans run against him.
Now it looks like Cohen is giving up the ghost. He announced that he wouldn't be running again.
Cohen said he was retiring from Congress and public life, "This is by far the most difficult moment I've had as an elected official," he said. He claimed the people "wanted me again."
Cohen said he "considered" running in one of the newly-drawn districts, but he said they are "nothing like the ninth district that I've represented."But even in that, he couldn't make a simple statement without throwing a bit of a fit.
He said he won’t run for reelection in his district, with a caveat: “If the courts will give two more years to that district … I will run for that office.”
“I don’t want to quit. I’m not a quitter. But these districts were drawn to beat me.”
Translation? He knows he wouldn't win.
As some pointed out, he faced a challenge beyond the redistricting — from Justin Pearson.
Here's what the redrawing of the maps looks like.
The congressional map divides Shelby County — which includes the majority-Black city of Memphis — among Districts 5, 8 and 9.
The redistricting will potentially allow Republicans to pick up an extra seat in Congress by shifting District 9 — currently a majority-Democratic area — into a more Republican area and splitting Shelby County up into three districts.
Losing Steve Cohen is the best thing anyone could do for that area, and maybe now they'll get some good representation for the people. But expect more actions like this coming as redistricting shakes out.
Theft is a way of life for these third world Somali Muslim crooks
JD Vance Exposes $15 Million in Medicaid Theft by Single Migrant in Maine
Vice President JD Vance exposed the theft of $15 million in Medicaid funding committed by a single migrant in Maine during a visit to Bangor on Thursday.
“Fraud is exactly what happens when you’ve got a government that is not fighting for the American people but is fighting for fraudsters and illegal aliens. And it has to stop. And under the Trump administration, we are fighting it every single day,” Vance said speaking to a packed hanger at an event to boost former Gov. Paul LePage’s bid for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District.
Vance, who called the State of Maine the “bronze medalist” in fraud after California and Minnesota, went on to say that LePage highlighted the fraud, but then-Democrat Attorney General Janet Mills refused to prosecute such cases.
The Ohioan pointed to just one case where a migrant billed the state for millions to provide “interpreter services” for illegal aliens, but never provided any such services at all.
“Rakiya Mohamed was not a particularly upstanding citizen… she was providing zero services and collecting $15 million over a five year period that was going directly into her pocket,” Vance saidAccording to the Bangor Daily News, Rakiya Mohamed, who was associated with a company called Bright Future Healthier You, fraudulently billed Medicaid for millions in services that were never provided. Mohamed was one of four who were indicted in the scheme. Others included company president Abdihamid Hassan and Abdifitah Abdi. All three are Somali migrants. A fourth employee, Asmo Dol, was also implicated, but the suspect passed away in June only a few months after she pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Rakiya Mohamed pleaded guilty in March to filing a false tax return.
Vance promised that scrutiny by the Trump administration on Maine’s climate of fraud is just the beginning.
“I can’t promise but I suspect we’re going to find hundreds of millions of more dollars every single month that we look in the state of Maine, because this is not a state that takes it seriously,” Vance said.

The Department of Homeland Security highlighted several criminal illegal aliens who were arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Thursday during National Police Week, according to a press release obtained exclusively by Blaze News.
Federal agents arrested sexual predators, child abusers, and those previously convicted of other violent crimes.
'Every single day, our officers put their lives on the line to remove criminal illegal aliens from American neighborhoods.'
“Yesterday, the men and women of ICE risked their lives to arrest child pornographers, sexual predators, and burglars,” DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis stated.
“Every single day, our officers put their lives on the line to remove criminal illegal aliens from American neighborhoods,” Bis continued. “On Police Week and every day, our pride in and support for these brave men and women keeping America safe will remain unwavering.”
DHS highlighted that ICE arrested Henry Paul Noriega-Perez, an illegal alien from Guatemala whose rap sheet includes a conviction for aggravated criminal sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of a minor in Cook County, Illinois.

Bis noted that DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin was “on the ground with ICE law enforcement officers in Virginia” on Friday.
Mullin stated that ICE arrested an illegal alien who had previously been removed multiple times from the U.S. and had a criminal history of drug possession and driving under the influence. He blamed Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger and her sanctuary policies for making “Virginia a magnet for criminal illegal aliens.”

Democrats In Illinois Just Lost Hundreds Of Violent Criminals
Democrats In Illinois Just Lost Hundreds Of Violent Criminals
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,
In yet another glaring example of failed “criminal justice reform” in blue cities, Cook County, Illinois officials have admitted that 243 dangerous criminals have gone completely AWOL from the county’s pretrial electronic monitoring program.
These include individuals charged with murder, attempted murder, and sexual assault — all supposed to be tracked by ankle monitors while awaiting trial instead of sitting in jail.
The revelation comes straight from Cook County Chief Judge Charles Beach II’s new transparency dashboard, which shows roughly 3,048 people currently on the program with 8 percent unaccounted for.
Of the criminals that have gone missing, 21 have been charged with murder, 13 with attempted murder, 103 with sexual assault, and 173 with aggravated battery.
A former Illinois police chief summed it up bluntly: “They have NO idea where they’re at. NONE. ZERO.”
The criminals were supposed to be on ankle monitors. Instead, they’re lost, prompting what the report called a “wild goose chase.”
State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke called the figures alarming and warned of more victims if safeguards aren’t tightened.
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s justice reforms — including elements of the controversial SAFE-T Act that pushed pretrial release over detention — are now under fresh scrutiny.
As one Illinois lawmaker noted in a follow-up post: “2,450 defendants on ankle monitors. 590 charged with violent crimes. 210 charged with aggravated weapons offenses. 85 felons caught with guns. 21 MURDER defendants. And 8% are just… gone. AWOL. Nobody knows where they are. THIS is Pritzker’s justice system.”
This isn’t some isolated glitch. The same program was ignored by a known career criminal with 72 prior arrests. He violated curfew, boarded a Chicago train, and set a stranger ON FIRE — exactly the kind of preventable horror that keeps repeating under these policies.
Chicago’s Revolving Door Of Doom: 72 PRIOR ARRESTS Revealed For Train Torcher
These repeat offenders keep being enabled in blue cities:
Recent cases like the cop-killing by an EM violator and the train torching show exactly where this leads. Illinois Democrats sold the public on “fairness” and “equity” in pretrial release.
What they delivered is a system where violent offenders roam free until they strike again — or simply vanish. The ankle monitors were meant to be a safeguard. Instead, they’ve become a joke.
Chief Judge Beach says more data and stricter violation reporting are coming. But after years of the same revolving-door failures, residents aren’t holding their breath.
Blue-city leaders keep doubling down on policies that prioritize criminals over victims. The body count — and the missing-persons list — keeps growing.
This is the predictable result of putting ideology over public safety. Until voters demand real accountability and law-and-order leadership, expect more of the same in Chicago and every other city following the same failed blueprint.
