WHITEHOUSE: Can you explain this?
NOEM: I'm looking at a picture of a bedroom
W: Of an airplane. You're not familiar?
NOEM: These photos are not accurate if you're referring to the airplanes DHS purchased. We're using them for command & control
W: You didn't use it?
N: I've been on it once
John Kennedy got Kristi Noem to admit she has to approve contracts over $10M. (Her deputies can approve up to $5M.)
Then he asked about her $220M propaganda campaign.

While Trump prosecutes his vanity war in Iran, he’s also prosecuting his racist war right here in America

Dems should politicize the heck out of this war—on unconstitutionality, strategy, national interest, US deaths, negative economic impact, you name it.
As @gregsargent.bsky.social argues, don’t focus on procedure only, fearing accusations of weakness. The public and press are already quite negative.
Btw, Noem just used a dramatically different number for the number of HSI officers still in MN than a local ICE officer did last week.

If you watch one single clip this week, let it be this one. And watch the whole thing.
This isn't a game. This isn't about politics. This is about how corruption is destroying millions of American lives.
This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

“You have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump’s actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers”

It’s unclear how Valar Atomics investor Masha Busher (formerly Masha Drakova} “landed a gig doing publicity for…Jeffrey Epstein,” but “her name comes up several times in the…files of Epstein’s communications” and in 2017, she “asked Epstein to connect her with ‘adequate Russian oligarchs.’” 😳

A lawyer for ICE just testified that DHS is telling agents to “violate the Constitution” and enter homes without a judicial warrant
“Never in my career had I ever received such a blatantly unlawful order,” he said
Today-at Columbia-that’s exactly what they did

Federal courthouse in Nashville
HAPPENING NOW: Good morning from the federal courthouse in Nashville, Tennessee.
A federal judge is set to preside over an evidentiary hearing on whether the United States government is vindictively prosecuting Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I'm here for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The DOJ is flat out LYING when they claim compliance with the Epstein law.
Millions of files are being withheld under the assertion of privilege.
Take them to court immediately.
Get a judge to assign an independent special master.
Let the SM review the remaining files and determine compliance.
Pete Hegseth is trying to bully Anthropic out of objecting to “lethal autonomous weapons systems” and mass surveillance. What could go wrong?

Republicans on the cable shows this morning
-- Suddenly talking again about need to "take" Greenland
-- Hyping importance of "strangling" Cuban government
-- Encouraging Trump to "topple" Iranian regime
The Trump movement is totally out of control. This will not end well.
I think of this often.

Dems should pay close attention to what Spanberger developed here: A forceful anti-Trump politics that speaks to people like grownups about ICE, grasps the political/cultural significance of Minneapolis, and doesn't shrink from defending immigrants and democracy:

Bonta: I’m worried about the fact that California is a universal vote-by-mail state—many states are—and the U.S. Postal Service is an entity of the federal government. Could ballots be seized while on their way before they’re counted?

This is to remind people that Trump lied when he told us this billion dollar operation “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program when in fact we just learned (from Trump’s Iran envoy!) it did nothing and Iran is now a week away from having a bomb.

Not much that Trump does shocks me anymore, but it is shocking that in a marathon State of the Union address, he had only two brief, noncommittal mentions of Ukraine. No condemnation of Russia's evil invasion on its 4th anniversary! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
