It is going to be a great day for America and the Constitution when Mike Johnson is no longer Speaker.

Turns out they are just wearing masks to keep warm. bsky.app/profile/atru...

They know this jobs report is going to be terrible. Hassett moving goalposts yesterday, Navarro removing them from the stadium today. bsky.app/profile/atru...

But now that the bridge is completed many years later and is about to open, Trump is using it in another extortion attempt.

We want them to stop using excessive force and violating people’s rights. Masks embolden the worst agents it gives them anonymity. Masks make it difficult to document who commits crimes and civil rights violations. They lead to more abuses. ICE wants no accountability. bsky.app/profile/atru...

4 months after Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Forbes reports that Binance now holds $4.7 billion of the $5.4 billion supply of Trump’s World Liberty Financial stablecoin. That is 87%. It is the largest corruption scandal in the history of the US presidency.

Now that members of Congress are able to see what was redacted they are learning how Todd Blanche failed to comply with the law in countless instances, and it’s now about to get real because what DOJ was hiding is the most incriminating stuff.

James Comer spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying and failing to prove that there was a policy connection between Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014 and his VP dad. But Comer won’t spend a day or a dollar investigating this.

Congressman wants to round up and deport people who liked Bad Bunny’s show. This is the Republican Party.

The SAVE Act would require every American to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

The problem? 21 million citizens don’t have these documents readily available.

This bill will just make it harder—if not outright impossible—for millions of eligible voters.

Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick admits he visited Jeffrey Epstein's private island in 2012 during a family vacation — after Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to a state-level charge of soliciting a minor for prostitution, which required Epstein to register as a sex offender.

A federal court delivered a mixed ruling on California’s mask law for federal officers. While the judge paused enforcement of the mask ban itself, the court affirmed that ICE and other officers must display proper identification.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress won't reject the possibility of a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. That is deeply concerning.

Ms. Maxwell is a monster who herself abused children. She does not deserve a pardon.

Progressive Beats Out Moderate Democrat In New Jersey Suburbs Analilia Mejia benefited from her steadfast opposition to ICE to win a district previously held by a moderate.

“Traditional politics and the same ol’ blue is not going to be effective in confronting MAGA Trumpism and a corrupt administration. I wanted a different voice for myself, and I know that my friends and neighbors in the district did too.”

NOW: Howard Lutnick was asked by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) if the nanny who joined Lutnick family on a 2012 trip to Epstein island is the same nanny Epstein expressed an interest in meeting

Lutnick: "I have no idea about that whole thing"

In DHS hearing Eric Swalwell erroneously says [only] two people have been killed.

Todd Lyons erroneously calls Kristi Noem an elected official (while refusing to deny that Renee Good was a terrorist).

ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

SWALWELL: If someone rolls up in an unidentified van and gets out wearing all black and their face is covered with no ID and they ask me to get into the van, how do I know they're an ICE agent or a bad guy?

TODD LYONS: ICE agents have identifiable placards on their uniforms

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

SWALWELL: You said you wanted to see a deportation process that was 'like Amazon Prime but with human beings.' How many times has Amazon Prime shot a mom 3 times in the face?

LYONS: None


SWALWELL: How many times has Amazon Prime shot a nurse 10 times in the back?

LYONS: None

Navarro has repeatedly (and falsely) claimed that "illegals" were taking the jobs of Americans, including in this very interview.
If that's the case, then why is he now warning that job growth will slow amidst mass deportations? Shouldn't this be boom times for native-born workers?

SWALWELL: How many ICE agents have been fired for their conduct under their leadership?

LYONS: I can get you that data

SWALWELL: Is it more than one?

LYONS: I'm not going to speak about personnel actions

SWALWELL: God, I hope at least one person has been fired. Two people have been killed so far

SWALWELL: Your staying on to lead ICE is a decision. Considering the dishonorable acts of those that have worked for you, will you resign from ICE?

LYONS: No sir I won't

SWALWELL: Why not?

LYONS: Because that child your showing -- ICE took care of him when his father abandoned him

August Pfluger asks Todd Lyons how many ICE goons have been doxed.

Lyons answers a different question: Cites the number of goons who've allegedly been doxed.

Of course, those claims have ROUTINELY collapsed with criminal discovery.

@icegov.bsky.social - Where in that mission does executing law abiding Americans fit in exactly?

It is not undisputed. It is disputed by tens of millions. In fact, the majority of Republicans in Congress do not agree with that but they are too afraid of Trump to say anything. bsky.app/profile/atru...

VAN HOLLEN: You mentioned you were accompanied by nannies when you went to Epstein island. Do you know whether the nanny you had on that trip was the same nanny that Epstein expressed interest in meeting?
