Burn ICE to the ground, piss on the ashes, and salt the earth.
Then build a professional agency with standards and accountability to accomplish the critical mission they were supposed to be doing.

Courts say ICE broke the law—thousands of times. The abuse continues anyway. This isn’t enforcement. It’s systemic disregard for constitutional rights, enabled and defended by the Trump regime. Republicans are treating the Constitution like toilet paper.

Not sure some people realize just how BIG a deal it is in 2026 for the GOP to lose the Podcast Bro's. It's right on par with hearing, "You're Stage IV."
Yes...it's that bad.

The largest release yet of the Epstein files shows he was Leon Black’s stealthy do-it-all fixer. Beyond mere estate planning, the convicted sex offender arranged family portraits, leveraged up a vast art collection, handled investments and obscured sensitive secrets

The Spin: Gallup will no longer publish approval ratings of presidents, & will focus on its "public research & thought leadership.”
Reality: Donald Trump doesn't like having low approval ratings & will sue Gallup or make it pay fake fines.
Gallup bends the knee. Authoritarianism at work.

Not a single one of ID representatives can articulate how women are supposed to vote in the election.
"Read the SAVE Act to find out what documentation is accepted"
Guess what? Marriage certs are not one of the docs.

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

Not only were the files that were supposed to be made available to Members of Congress still redacted, but we also learned that Pam Bondi has been keeping track of what Members have reviewed.
Clearly, this is one big cover-up led by Pam.
