With DC shooter now identified as an Afghan national not the antifa secret agent White House hoped for a good time to remember the Trump admin has gutted domestic anti-terrorism capacity and reassigned many to finding grandmothers to arrest at immigration hearings.

Garcia: The oversight committee and Democrats launched our official oversight immigration enforcement dashboard. The dashboard that allows our committee to investigate and document and archive for the public record, possible misconducts by federal agents, ICE, and DHS.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

For over 5 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of the people in Congress most disliked by Democrats.

No death threats.

It was only when she turned on Donald Trump that she got death threats.

Just like Senators only received threats of violence after they wavered on Trump's cabinet nominations.

Finally decided to see what all the Epstein Files and House Petition is all about: its a bill that would need to also be passed in the Senate, and by the President, before his agencies would release the files. So this obviously is not happening, what a waste of time on this.

Today, Members of Congress got their paycheck unless (as I did) they wrote a letter to the House saying to withhold the pay pending the shutdown.

Meanwhile, Congressional staffers went without pay today.

Every member should answer whether they took the paycheck while their staff got nothing.

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

That is ending. Politicians ended it. It will cripple our future competitiveness.

And it’s such a bitter tragedy. Almost no Americans, Conservative or Liberal, grasp what is now being stolen from them.

If ICE agents believe they have blanket immunity or that citizens have no right to record them, it’s up to the rest of us to disabuse them of that error.

We wanted to understand what a Zohran Mamdani administration would mean for New York. So we talked to a Kentucky woman who once tied for 5th place in a swim race with a transgender woman and got really mad that she didn't get to hold the trophy.

Remember when the Supreme Court gave a pass to a state that created a private right of action crafted with the purpose of evading federal law and judicial review?

States should experiment with a similar law to allow damages actions against federal agents in state court.

That'll go over well.
