should check their facts. Right now, federal law prevents states from doing thisāand it's the big banks who want to keep it that way. If you want to get on board to let states cap credit card rates and lower costs, Iām ready to pass the bill.

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS. ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion. This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

It's strange for the President of the United States to be litigating in his personal capacity against the Justice Department he runs ā but he's seeking an order barring "current, former and future" DOJ officials from releasing Jack Smith's second volume.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

The message is clear: obstruct and you die. Not obstruct and you'll be arrested -- no, get out of our way or get a bullet in your head. ICE = death squads. Masked goons serving as judge, jury, and executioner. The rule of law is on life support.
