More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. Theyโ€™ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally โ€” almost certainly incomplete โ€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldnโ€™t be concerned because agents will โ€œpromptly let the individual go.โ€

For these Americans, that wasnโ€™t true.

We donโ€™t even have to wait for Election Day to get real results from applying political pressure. Just look at how even Republican Members of Congress defied this president's attempt to hide the Epstein files.

We don't always have to wait for an election to see results.

Last week I met Granite Staters raising their voice against this proposed ICE detention facility.

Today, they won: the Trump administration gave up. Never underestimate your own power in moments like these.

In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.

This administration has managed to do many big things at once. The problem is they're all harmful.

The next time our party earns the chance to lead, we have to be prepared to aim big and do many things at once - things that will actually help improve life in America.

Epstein Files Are Missing Records About Woman Who Made Claim Against Trump

So, the Trump DOJ failed to release files concerning an Epstein accuser with claims involving Trump... but did manage to accidentally reveal that the files existed?

Americans are fed up with this administrationโ€™s mix of incompetence and corruption. Time to come clean.

"SLOPPINESS": The Trump administration claimed that a man detained by ICE had a criminal convictions for marijuana possession in 2009.

The judge pointed out that the man was 4 years old at the time.

Netflix drops out of bidding after WBD deems Paramountโ€™s takeover bid โ€˜superiorโ€™ | CNN Business Netflix said Thursday afternoon that it has โ€œdeclined to raise its offer for Warner Bros.โ€ after the Warner Bros. Discovery board determined that Paramount has submitted a โ€œsuperiorโ€ offer.

Paramountโ€™s most recent bid, announced Tuesday, valued all of WBD, including CNN, at $31 per share. Paramount attached several deal sweeteners that appealed to the WBD board, including a $7 billion โ€œregulatory termination fee.โ€

As noted, Rosen asserted in his email that "[t]he lawyers in my civil division
didn't deserve" the supposedly inaccurate January 28 order. Putting aside the fact that
the January 28 order was not inaccurate, Rosen failed to mention that this Court said the
following in the show-cause order that preceded the January 28 order:
The Court expresses its appreciation to attorney Ana Voss and her colleagues [in the civil division], who have struggled mightily to ensure that respondents comply with court orders despite the fact that respondents have failed to provide them with adequate resources.
ECF No. 7 at 2 n.1.
The judges of this District have been extraordinarily patient with the government
attorneys, recognizing that they have been put in an impossible position by Rosen and
his superiors in the Department of Justice (leading many of those attorneys- including, unfortunately, Ana Voss- to resign). What those attorneys "didn't deserve" was the
Administration sending 3000 ICE agents to Minnesota to detain people without making
any provision for handling the hundreds of lawsuits that were sure to follow.

If anything is "beyond the pale," it is ICE's continued violation of the orders of
this Court. Increasingly, this Court has had to resort to using the threat of civil
contempt to force ICE to comply with orders. The Court is not aware of another
occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten
contempt -again and again and again - to force the United States government to comply
with court orders.
