Parents of a Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton went to visit her and were arrested by ICE on the militarybase. The father who was a resident of Oceanside, California was then deported.

Neither of the parents have a criminal record, both have pending green card applications, and valid work permits

The parents were initially taken into custody on base and later released with ankle monitors, before being detained again.

MIKE JOHNSON CAN SHUT UP FOREVER ABOUT HOW CAPITOL POLICE OFFICERS ARE TREATED

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

1. Last night, John Oliver destroyed Bari Weiss and specifically called out her inaccurate and targeted coverage of transgender people.

It's the latest of several shows Oliver has done in defense of trans people.

Weiss at CBS is a disaster for trans people.

BS Johnson! This a totally and completely about you exercising political preference for Trump over your responsibilities as Speaker. How can anyone ever trust or respect you???

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

Rescue Dog Dad @rd1054.bsky.social · 1d

How can anyone trust a President who makes decisions based upon the receipt of lavish gifts? Robert Reich is correct. Everything is for sale by this President. It is how he has lived his entire life and it is immoral and contrary to our constitution. DOJ should be independent of President.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 2d

Everything is for sale.

1. Nations that have bestowed lavish gifts to President Trump — or enriched Trump and his family by striking business deals with Trump-connected companies — have later received extraordinary benefits from the Trump administration.
