You might be wondering why Trump is deploying ICE agents and now threatening the National Guard to airports. It’s not about helping TSA or improving security. It’s a test run.

Good news:

The Courts again protect us from tyranny...

Imagine a Democratic President...

For the cost of dropping bombs on Iran, Opinion Columnist for the New York Times Nicholas Kristof argues the U.S. could fund universal pre-K, guarantee healthcare subsidies, and solve famine across the world. Instead, the Pentagon is requesting $200 billion from Congress. www.ms.now/ali-velshi/w...

Steve Bannon says ICE agents stationed in airports are part of a voter suppression scheme by the Trump regime: “We can use this, ICE helping at airports, as a test run, a test case, to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterms."

Our @wbaidlaw.bsky.social FBI clients filed protected disclosures to DOJ OIG abt unlawful firings. Instead of investigating, OIG declined bc of "limited resources" & wants to send to FBI, i.e., investigate itself. The oversight system is broken. My statement: whistlebloweraid.org/doj-inspecto...

Trump just blew up a bipartisan deal to end the #TSA nightmare because he wants a voter suppression bill — Let that sink in. Instead of paying TSA workers he’s sending #ICE to airports who aren’t trained for aviation security & are already causing disruption, not solving the problem. (1/3)

Another tyrannical test, like occupying Minneapolis...

Not fired, launched. Into the fucking sun.

An ex ICE lawyer says deploying ICE at TSA checkpoints "forces the public to submit to a criminal checkpoint system if they wish to exercise their freedom of travel. At best, this forces Americans to accept the kind of ...systems" used in the Soviet Union. David Kligerman https://ow.ly/BlfA50YxQ3x

A coalition of cultural and historic preservation groups is suing to block further physical changes to the Kennedy Center ahead of a two-year closure that President Trump insists is necessary to renovate the prominent performing arts venue.

A feature not an aberration:

Great news! Here's the full order. It blocks DHS from arresting and interrogating lawfully present refugees on the basis of a crazy argument that in 1980, without anyone noticing, Congress mandated that all refugees be detained on their 1-year anniversary in the U.S.

🚨BREAKING: Steve Bannon suggested that President Donald Trump deployed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to major U.S. airports as part of a “test run” for using them to meddle in upcoming elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In 2020, I argued every state must count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day. Today, the RNC argued no state can. That is how far the right has descended into voter suppression. And it is why I continue to fight.

While attending a crime-stopping task force aimed at curbing crime in Memphis, Tennessee, Trump appeared to doze off. And when he wasn’t drifting off into a dreamless daze, Trump’s remarks ranged from incoherent to problematic. trib.al/By5Bglf

No hiding from these facts:

Bianco is a horror:

NOT a coincidence or happenstance:

Their “evident frustrations” are those they felt during Bush v Gore.

The last time they did this, Todd Blanche insisted that this was not how it works, and the judges had unconstitutionally overstepped their boundaries. Which, of course, was never true.

“A California sheriff running for governor has seized more than half a million ballots cast in a November special election from county election officials, saying he’s investigating a ballot count discrepancy.” www.cnn.com/2026/03/22/u...

Why is the Defense Secretary at a public safety event in Tennessee three weeks into a war the U.S. initiated?

These are the airports where ICE is currently present: - Chicago-O'Hare International Airport - Cleveland Hopkins International Airport - Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport - Houston's William P. Hobby Airport - Houston's Bush intercontential

NEW: We have seen DOJ secure a search warrant to seize ballots in Georgia and a subpoena to seize ballots in Arizona. Now a sheriff is seizing ballots in California. This is a crisis unfolding in real time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

OMG.

There is no reason to force clerks to wait until Election Day to count absentee/mail-in ballots received days in advance. The sole reason is to intentionally delay counting in big cities & create late "waves" of ballots that the GOP can then cite as evidence of fraud. myvote.wi.gov/en-us/How-Yo...

DOJ tacitly admits defeat in the longrunning dustup over who is in charge of the US Attorney's Office for NJ—accepting the district court's appointment of a longtime career attorney as US Attorney storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Conservative jurists like to say that many laws are "stupid but constitutional" or "awful but lawful" to explain that courts can't just strike down policies they deem unwise. Today the Republican-appointed justices repeatedly criticized mail voting POLICIES without identifying a real legal defect.

The new VOA lawsuit pulls no punches on "pro-Trump propaganda" and "censorship." Under Kari Lake, VOA "suppressed" coverage of protests in Iran, "aped that totalitarian regime" and run images of Trump "in the style of Dear Leader Kim Jong-Il," the lawsuit says. Full story buff.ly/LpwoXWj

So, costumed ICE agents now stationed at US airports and no one asks, simply, WHY?

Fascist republicans were outraged about billions of dollars being sent to help Ukraine fight the Russian invasion over 3 years, but now they’re silent about MAGA regime wanting to spend an additional $200B for the orange felon’s illegal war in just 20 days.

Another great addition to our team! bsky.app/profile/macf...

Pulitzer for whoever discovers the Republican justices' social media alts. Alito's brain is absolutely microwaved.

Some very disturbing questions from the Republican-appointed justices in today's Supreme Court arguments—definitely several votes to strike down laws in 30 states which count mail ballots that arrive shortly after Election Day, as long as they're cast by Election Day. Not what I was hoping to hear.
