Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Republicans want you to simultaneously believe the guy on the left is a hero and the guy on the right is a terrorist.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

Now that Trump says Venezuela will hand over 30-50 million barrels of oil, with proceeds of sales to be controlled by him, I want to reiterate: He's inviting our oligarchs to reap great riches by buying into his scheme of imperial hemispheric domination. newrepublic.com/article/2049...

The President of the United States has the exact same power to pardon a state-court conviction that you or I have—which is to say, none.

Secretary Noem tried to tell me that she hasn’t deported any veterans. I introduced her to one.

Remind me: Did Brett Kavanaugh include having your wedding band cut in pieces among the minor inconveniences of being arrested by ICE as a US citizen?

I think this Venezuela double strike story could be massive…. And it’s just getting started Why the Venezuela Boat Strike Could Become the Trump Admin’s Biggest Scandal youtu.be/pYkx4dD0hk4

How is the evidence so far not clear enough that Trump is very likely provoking conflict within our nation's cities with intent; ostensibly to further a false narrative that even more force is necessary? youtu.be/GmlV5DDZraA?...

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Because it needs to remain front and center.... youtu.be/KLcfpU2cubo?...

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

How can you negotiate with Republicans in Congress to fund the government when as soon as you reach an agreement you know that Trump’s OMB director will just withhold the funds?

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Saving private Epstein files? www.forbes.com/sites/tylerr...

Since 1958, West Point has honored one U.S. citizen annually with the Sylvanus Thayer Award for embodying the values of "Duty, Honor, Country." Tom Hanks was set to receive the award later this month. His ceremony was just abruptly canceled by the Academy. (thread)

CNN, MSNBC, and Newsmax are currently covering the Epstein survivors press conference on the Hill. Fox News and NewsNation are not.

Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"

Was Neil Young "deranged" when he wrote the song Ohio? Is it deranged to be concerned about the unnecessary presence of military troops in US cities potentially provoking another repeat of Kent State? REMINDER: Trump can release the Epstein files at any time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B9A...

At what point do Dems come to the realization that it's long past time to abandon adherence to traditional policy positions in favor of a bare metal reboot in "safe mode" that accommodates the largest possible opposition movement to the assault our nation is currently in the midst of?

Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the U.S. Constitution—which limit presidential power over tariffs and protect habeas corpus—have disappeared from Congress’s website. They claim a coding error is to blame.

Was Jeffrey Epstein, superconnector of the rich and powerful, a spy? People who've seen the Epstein files say, on this question, there's nothing there www.businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epst...

Trump could give Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon on his last day in office exchange for favorable testimony now (SCOTUS has already said he can’t be prosecuted for it). She knows he’s her only chance for release. That means any “new” testimony she offers is inherently unreliable unless backed by evidence

This is patently false. DHS has authority to question and search people coming into the country at points of entry. But ICE may not detain and question anyone without reasonable suspicion — and certainly not based on their physical appearance alone. This lawlessness must stop.

ICE interrogate kids at youth baseball practice—threatens to arrest coach when he defends them. Every kid on team is U.S. citizen. "Agent said if kids are here legally, what do they have to lose," coach Youman Wilder explained. "I told them they still have their 5th & 4th Amendment rights."
