AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.

We identified 12 shootings by federal agents that led to the deaths or injuries of citizens & immigrants since Sept.

Nearly every time, the Trump admin blamed the injured and dead. Experts say this apparent lack of accountability demands that local authorities step up to investigate federal agents.

Kash Patel’s latest firings ousted agents with expertise in Iran The FBI director gutted a specialized, global espionage unit of counterintelligence agents, just days before Operation Epic Fury.

TERRIBLE TIMING: When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran.

However, the department does not have authority over state bar disciplinary boards. The proposal instead asks state bar associations to pause their own investigations until the Justice Department completes its internal review.

Well, if this isn’t corruption in plain sight. If you don’t want consequences for breaking the law, then don’t break the law.

The Justice Department is now attempting to step into disciplinary cases being handled by state bar associations against its own attorneys.

As Rep. Jayapal says, our reporting has found that these aren’t isolated incidents. Last October, we tallied more than 170 cases of U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents.

Here’s that investigation she’s referring to:

When former Honduran President Juan Orlando HernΓ‘ndez was pardoned by Trump, there was a detainer in place that could’ve landed him in ICE custody like countless other immigrants.

But the Federal Bureau of Prisons scrambled to get his detainer removed so he could walk free.

STOP. LISTEN. Seriously.

Maybe we’ve been going about this all wrong. Maybe this has to be dismantled from the bottom up. This rank corruption.

There needs to be a serious IMPEACH NOEM demand. These hearings have made any other choice complicity.

The problem for democracy: when consequential AI policy decisions are made through executive discretion rather than deliberative process, they escape ordinary channels of accountability. We cannot contest what we cannot see. AI governance by caprice is still regulationβ€”just less accountable.

The administration is engaged in norm destruction while installing new assumptions about and practices for how AI should be steered and regulated.

Consider: $10 billion in equity stakes in tech firms and a "golden share" granting veto power over corporate decisions. This is not deregulation.

🧡 Trump administration AI policy is widely described as deregulatory. This description is misleading. What's happening is not the absence of governance but its rearrangement--intensive state intervention operating through mechanisms we don't typically call regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.

And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?

This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution:

- declared war without Congressional authorization

- ignoring multiple court orders

- impounding Congressional authorized funds

- ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly

It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.
