Just to be very clear: The Trump DOJ is stealing $1.2 million of your money to gift one of Trump’s cronies, who pled guilty to the crimes he was charged with, and whose suit against the government had already been tossed by a judge.

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

New: Pete Hegseth’s pastor and close spiritual advisor says he wants Texas Democratic state Rep. James Talarico to die. “We want him crucified with Christ,” Brooks Potteiger said of Talarico, as the podcast host said he prays “that God kills him.” www.huffpost.com/entry/pete-h...

just a breathtaking self-own here from Ted Cruz

This may be the most powerful 85 seconds I've ever seen on television.

Newsmax reporter: "Mr. President you deployed ICE agents to American airports—" Trump: "Who are you with?" Newsmax reporter: "Newsmax." Trump: "You're not doing a very good job." Newsmax reporter: "You deployed ICE agents to airports—" Trump: "Did you hear me? You're not doing a good job."

How can this go on for another 3 years?

WELKER: Do you think it's appropriate for POTUS to celebrate the death of Bronze Star recipient? BESSENT: Neither one of us can understand what's been done to the president & his family W: So there's nothing wrong w/post saying, 'Good. Mueller's dead'? B: We should have empathy for the president

Let’s not forget his equally disgusting post about Rob Reiner just three months ago

Trump: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

This is an effort to turn the Minnesota rapid responders into criminals. If Democrats make this deal, they will send me, and many others like me who have been out protecting the community, to jail.

Not once does this story mention that offering a federal job in exchange for a political favor is a crime

This horrific story gets worse when you find out how this young woman originally came to the US: as a 17-year-old on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane

Not only are the conniving Republicans dishonest and devious, this clip shows how careless they are when they go about their shenanigans.

@fetterman.senate.gov Just in case you didn’t know how we feel about you

3/ Stier: “We have talked to thousands of employees through various programming, and the message consistently has been that they are fearful, that they are being mistreated, and all of the facts on the ground suggest that they have been traumatized.” www.defenseone.com/policy/2026/...

CNN’s Harry Enten: “John Fetterman's had a 108 point drop in his net approval with PA Dems since 2023…. “His net popularity with his own party is worse than all senators who lost a primary this century. There's no historical analog to his unpopularity.”

BALTIMORE—In surprise testimony in federal court Thursday, an immigration officer revealed that more than 100 asylum seekers were wrongfully deported in violation of a court-ordered settlement agreement in a long-running case that has gotten national attention. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/exclusi...

John Fetterman is the Benedict Arnold of Judases.

The reckless campaign against Iran will weaken America’s president. That will make him angry. Be warned: he makes a very bad loser econ.st/4bAtZby

Civil Rights icon, @doloreshuerta, made a brave move today, revealing a secret she had been holding for 60 years for the sake of the Farm Workers movement. You can read her letter here: medium.com/@dolores_hue...

The grift continues...

Truth: Local law enforcement officials have rightful authority to investigate unlawful killings by federal agents False: Markwayne Mullin's response below Truth: 35-year DOJ veteran's essay, "How DAs and AGs Can and Must Investigate ICE Abuses" www.justsecurity.org/129071/feder...

HUGE: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — Trump's former personal lawyer who was also responsible for Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a cushy club fed — has intervened to block the DEA from providing details of a mysterious Epstein investigation to my Finance Committee team.

wow! Rand Paul begins Markwayne Mullin's hearing by confronting him about comments he made describing Paul as a "freakin' snake" & "celebrating" Paul getting assaulted "I wonder if someone who applauds political violence is right to lead an agency that has struggled to accept proper use of force"

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

FLASHBACK: “I don’t want everybody to vote— our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” Heritage Foundation & ALEC co-founder Paul Weyrich told us what the “SAVE” Act is really about — saving Trump and Republicans from voters

Q: Your PAC put out a fundraising email and it's being criticized for using photos of you at the dignified transfer-- TRUMP: Well, I was at the dignified transfer, unlike a lot of people Q: Do you think it's an appropriate email? TRUMP: Yeah, I do. There's nobody better to the military than me

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction. Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.

Haitian woman, 31, dies alone at Pittsburgh bus stop days after ICE released her to the streets far from home to perish. Rest in power, Daphy Michel: migrantinsider.com/p/the-loneso...

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Trump: "There are bad people. They go out shooting protesters. You're a protester, they shoot you right through the head. This is an evil group of people."

PAPER PLANET: “While Trump gutted food stamps for the poor and disabled, Hegseth ran up the largest single-month bill in history… $93.4 Billion in September… $6.9 million on lobster tails… they told you there’s no money for health care, there’s plenty.”

As Trump has descended into incoherence, and become nothing more than an assortment of adolescent (and frequently violent) urges, the government has been remade into a tool for the immediate satisfaction of his wants and desires no matter how absurd or nihilistic they may be, as I discuss in PN.

I hope this is one of the most consequential pieces I will have ever written. Epstein and His Co-Conspirators’ New York Crimes: What NY officials can now do

"He told a colleague, who refused to help him upload the data because of legal concerns, that he expected to receive a presidential pardon if his actions were deemed to be illegal..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

Trump: All of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are right now walking around with no legs.

Trump: "You daughter, she has to be of age. Like above 6 years old."

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Trump on Democrats: "There's something wrong with those people. And we can't let them ever be in a position where they can lead this country again."
