@klobuchar.senate.gov Can you please expose the ICE spend to date and daily spend (which Congress controls), and ask your constituents if that’s how they want their tax dollars spent?

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.
Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

@marcelias.bsky.social This is an all-state class action suit against the DOJ.
The DOJ is pursuing complete voter rolls from almost every state. Many states aren't complying. At least 10 are going along. The “confidential agreement” between the DOJ and some of those states has fine print that adds more risk to an already risky deal for voters. (1/7)
“Confidential” Agreements Show Trump Administration’s Plans for States’ Voter Data
At least 10 states have handed over their full voter files to the Justice Department.
