President Trump keeps threatening to unilaterally impose rules (like voter ID requirements) on upcoming elections.

This is worth reading, but read it with both your eyes open: it’s clearly coming from ICE’s Lyons, CPB’s Scott and Tom Homan to preserve their secret police while marginalizing their bureaucratic rivals

The Golden Age.

ICE chief admits there’s no reason for immigration agents to be at voting sites The chief's comments follow threatening statements by Trump and his close allies about the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.

Donald Trump is waging a stealth war on Social Security.

He’s undermining the system’s customer service and making it increasingly difficult for Americans to get our hard-earned benefits.

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.
