This is now without question the biggest politico-financial scandal in United States history. Teapot Dome was trivial in comparison.
I was a little late to catch up with this WSJ kleptocracy story. We already knew Sheikh Tahnoon dropped $2b on World Liberty Financial to get Trump to let UAE import advanced chips. Now we learn Tahnoon also purchased 49 percent of World Liberty Financial.

‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company
$500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

This is the way, make “ok, abolish only ICE” the moderate position.
Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”

Trump suing his own IRS for $10 billion is so utterly farcical, I hardly know what to say. His family defrauded the govt for years on taxes, and now he wants taxpayers to pay him because someone leaked info he repeatedly promised the public he would release and never did? Sheesh. And this, too:

And by "the theater," Tom Homan (paid by us) means the occupation (paid for by us) by state agents (armed & paid by us) of a state that annually sends $44 million more in taxes to DC than it gets back in federal support for the 5.8 million Americans who live there - or, as they might say, "us."
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down
