We're in court today challenging ICE and CBP's racial profiling and warrantless arrests, which have been sowing fear and chaos in Minnesota communities.

Federal agents are bound by the Constitution, and we will hold them accountable for their lawless actions.

Trump insider Tom Barrack kept in regular contact with Jeffrey Epstein for years, files show Tom Barrack, a top U.S. diplomat and longtime friend of President Trump, networked and socialized with Epstein for years, CBS News found.

And you wonder why the Epstein Class is going after me and Rep. Thomas Massie? Look at how many people we are exposing. Is anyone keeping a list of the powerful in the US & around the world already being investigated & called out?

Obama: "Right now we're being tested. And the good news is what we saw in Mpls and St. Paul, and what we're seeing in places across the country included here in LA, has been the American people -- at least a good number of them -- saying 'we're going to live up to those values we say we believe in'"

U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January, but labor market growth stalled in 2025 The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that U.S. employers added 181,000 jobs last year, far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

US had almost *no* job growth in 2025.

Hiring numbers were revised down by over a million jobs.

Largest annual revision in over 20 years.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG?

MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.

Judge blocks Pentagon from downgrading Sen. Mark Kelly's military rank, pay A judge banned the Trump administration from taking adverse action against Kelly after he and other Democratic lawmakers urged military members to "refuse illegal orders."

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

Election denier involved in fake electors plot wrote much of SAVE America Act, Trump-aligned think tank claims β€œI’m here to do everything I can to make this work,” Thomas Lane wrote in a December 2020 email to other organizers of the Trump campaign’s fake electoral plot in Arizona.

🚨BREAKING: An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.

I honestly can’t remember any prior AG being this overtly disrespectful in a Congressional hearing.

They really think they’re never going to be in the minority.

Maybe I memory holed it, but personal attacks on members of Congress during testimony just seems so out of bounds.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.

No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.

Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?

No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.
