The extraordinary public backlash to Trump's ICE raids and mass deportations suggests it's time to rethink how information warfare and political persuasion work in the Trump era. Dems have an opening to reset the immigration debate if they act now.

NEW: ProPublica and @texastribune.org found that DHS rushed a revamped tool to check voters’ citizenship into use while it was still adding data.
As a result, the tool has made persistent mistakes, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

I spoke to retired Metro Police Dept officer Michael Fanone about whether he would report federal crimes to FBI while Trump is in power. He responded that he had contacted the FBI last year to report threats against him and his family, yet Trump's FBI NEVER even called him back!

This is a bad move away from peace. The Israeli Cabinet voted to destroy the Oslo Process by extending Israeli law into the West Bank. Israel’s right-wing government is allowing the settlement project to destroy the dream of Israel alongside the dream of Palestine.

Trump’s net approval on the economy is now -18. That’s 26 points worse than this point in his first term and a brutal 53 points lower among independents.

Reporter: Trump argued that other countries are going to pay the brunt of the tariffs, but recent research finds the exact opposite. The cost of Trump's tariffs per household was $1,000 last year, and they're seeing an increase this year to $1,300.
