At the urging of my office, the FAA is rightfully lifting the Temporary Restricted Airspace.

I will again reiterate there is no threat to El Paso or the surrounding areas.

Unsurprisingly, Trump's immigration crackdown is still not delivering labor market improvements for the US-born

Over the last year, native-born unemployment is up from 4.3% to 4.7% while native-born employment has decreased

A thing to remember about these people is they're *both* violent authoritarians *and* incredibly bad at basic stuff. It can be very hard to tell these apart, especially on the fly.

Every year the BLS does a benchmark revision which incorporates new and more detailed information. This year's revision suggests that 2025 was a far worse year than earlier estimates suggested, and total job growth was less than half that suggested by the initial estimates.

in fact you do not have to show your ID when you board a train in the united states, you only need to show your ticket (which can be purchased without an ID)
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

Rep. Walkinshaw leaving today’s ICE hearing: “All of this comes from Stephen Miller’s sick, twisted, deranged Great Replacement Theory.” He says when Dems have the majority they will subpoena Miller to testify: “If he doesn’t he will end up in prison for contempt.” @pabloreports.bsky.social

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

This morning, I went to see what were supposed to be the completely unredacted Epstein files. However, some of the files were still redacted by Kash Patel’s FBI.

Here’s my reaction.

Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows
