DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

He got mad that the New York Times did an article saying he had dropped the extortion demand so he upped the ante.

Homeland Security is targeting Americans with this secretive legal weapon Under Trump, the Department of Homeland Security has weaponized administrative subpoenasΒ to attack free speech, according to privacy and civil rights groups.

Just think about the amazing Epstein scoops the new CBS Evening News contributors will have just by interviewing each other.

Thank you, Jim Pattison Developments, for canceling the sale of your Virginia warehouse property to ICE! #Canada #ICEout

Yes, and I find it interesting that she doesn't appear to have been asked about the case. She seems to have disappeared. Nobody wants to get her insights?

Where is Ann Marie Villafana, the AUSA who worked with Acosta on Epstein in Florida? I think she quit in disgust. We never hear her name, she hasn't been called to testify. Silence.

Just told my husband this morning that I now understand that he won't cancel the election, he's going to pull every trick he and his co-conspirators can to get the results they need to stay in power. If things get too hairy, he'll declare martial law and declare GOP the winners.

For office. That doesn't translate to support for that candidacy by the party. Even though it may not have been your intention, you've created the impression that extremists like Mr. Forhan have a place in the Ohio Democratic party. He doesn't.

He does not represent the values or positions of the party. I speak from my position as Secretary of the Geauga County Democratic Party in Northeast Ohio. Mr. Forhan attended several of our events late last year and quickly exposed himself as an extremist. Anyone can pull petitions to run for

@shanegoldmacher.bsky.social Hi Shane. I just read your analysis of this moment in our country. Your use of Elliott Forhan as an example of a Democratic candidate representative of how the left is as incendiary as the right is off. Forhan has been fully rejected by Democrats in Ohio because

I completely disagree with Trump's removal of Maduro because it was all spectacle and no solution. I will grant Rubio a modicum of respect, however, for acting with decorum and professionalism during this hearing.

It’s just nuts to me that senior DOJ officials are on social media all day shitposting and trolling. The unprofessionalism and psychosis is unfathomable to anyone who has ever worked for any DOJ agency - especially the posts about pending investigations and prosecutions.

CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed β€œThat day he thought he was going to die”

Reminder: Vivek Ramaswamy chose a running mate who was the architect of the failed policies that are making life unaffordable for so many while benefitting special interests….like taking $600M from Ohioans’ unclaimed funds to hand to a billionaire.

We should have all known that the moment progressives pulled out their own guns and the black panthers were back in the news defending their communities, that would be the time for common sense gun control. Not 20 some school shootings back, don't be silly.

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO.

What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions.

Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi.

Keep your eyes wide open.

When grand juries have been impaneled to hear testimony and evidence on the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti, then we can begin to talk about the Trump admin doing something tangible. Until that, all this is just PR damage control that only the extremely naive will fall for.

Minnesotans are also fighting for the rest of us and the preservation of representative democracy in America, because it won't end with them. Their fight is our fight. Nothing but admiration and respect and gratitude for their courage.
