NEW: Immigrants Detained in Chicago Military-Style Raid Seek Millions in Damages New accounts from 17 men, women and children who have filed formal claims after being detained in a late-night raid paint a violent and terrifying portrait of the federal agents’ actions.

This would make it so Jim Clyburn would be the only Black Democrat to ever represent South Carolina in the House of Representatives. One guy ever.

Multiple women serving sentences for nonviolent crimes at the minimum security prison where Ghislaine Maxwell is now serving time were punished for speaking to reporters about the special treatment Maxwell receives. At least two women were transferred to higher security facilities as punishment.

Q: Are you considering going back to Project Freedom now that gas prices are more than $4.50? TRUMP: No. Gas prices have come down today. Have you looked? They came down very substantially today. The stock market is way up.

Trump and Rubio are decimating the ranks of career, non-partisan professional diplomats to bring in loads of newly-hired MAGA partisans. It is hard to describe how seriously this is damaging US security and our ability to anticipate and react to world events.

They are blinding us deliberately as to what is happening in the world and tying up our military in quagmires so that they can operate with a free hand.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) faces scrutiny after a Politico investigation revealed that his advocacy and political groups paid over $720,000 to Checkmate Strategies, a consulting firm he co-founded and later sold for up to $50,000.

Because Trump still owns the GOP base. Because congressional Republicans are afraid. Because it’s too late.

A reckless trade war. Fertilizer prices are through the roof. Rising input costs. Our farmers are the backbone of so many communities across Wisconsin, and this administration is making their lives so much harder. www.wpr.org/news/steep-f...

The party in the White House always loses seats in the midterms. So this one decided not to play that game. They're changing who votes, which votes count, and where the lines are drawn-in broad daylight. New piece. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

A state that redraws its legislative maps before every election to maximize advantage for the incumbent party is not a democracy or a republic and in any case obviously violates the guarantee clause, among many others. No country does this. No country ever thought of doing this. It is a total farce.

Trump's bank regulators are finally realizing that consumer fraud is a problem for the financial system. Huh, I wonder if there's a federal agency designed to stop consumers from getting scammed? Oh wait, there is, the CFPB — and the Trump Administration is trying to destroy it.

The former president appeared on Late Show host Stephen Colbert and took shots at Trump, without naming him, and warned about the “politicization of the criminal justice system.”

The White House Counsel's Office is giving private briefings to the Trump admin's political appointees on how to best prepare for congressional oversight as staff begin to brace for the likelihood of significant Democratic victories in the midterms, according to two people briefed on the topic.

So, WH Counsel teaches MAGA adherents how to obstruct Congressional fact-finding done for US citizens so that Trump's plans aren't known to voters. This is planned, intended obfuscation to block Congressional oversight... from the self-proclaimed "most transparent" Admin in US history. Sheesh.
