Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: ICE Seized Drawings from Children in Detention. I Sued, and Today I Got Them.

Five months ago, I filed a Freedom of Information Act Request for papers seized from children at the Dilley ICE Detention Center. Today, I got a heartbreaking response.

RFK Jr and wife had a soiree at their Hollywood mansion during COVID and required proof of COVID vaccination with RSVP. Watch what they do, not what they say. –Rachel Maddow

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

RFK Jr. likes to claim that he is “restoring trust” in public health, so let’s gaze at the glory of what he’s achieved. In March of 2025, 77% of adults trusted CDC recommendations. In March of 2026, it’s only 50%. Trust in public health in the U.S. has cratered since he took office.

Susan Collins, who voted for $70 billion in no-strings-attached ICE funding, is now taking credit for securing new bodycams to distance herself from Trump and ICE. This is how Collins wins in Maine. Dems must go on offense on ICE to thwart this scam. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2138...

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

The DOJ was willing to charge a labor leader with a crime, hold it over him for months, & then walk away from it once the charge couldn’t survive scrutiny. That is not how a justice system is supposed to work.

Matt Ortega@mattortega.com · last wk.

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

DHS Official Resigns, Citing ‘War on Immigrants’

The outgoing executive director of the Office of Homeland Security Statistics is one of very few federal officials to speak out against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

wired.com

Marc Rosenblum, Trump admin DHS leader, has resigned. “I’m thrilled to end my relationship with the current administration. Between the war on immigrants, the war on feds, and the war on facts (not to mention the crazy war in Iran and the brazen corruption), I just need a change.”

"[ICE] is not law enforcement. [It] is a militia with a badge." - David Myers, retired commander, San Diego Sheriff's Office

I'm a former cop. ICE isn't law enforcement, it's a militia.

ICE shootings in Houston and in Biddeford, Maine, are the predictable output of a federal agency that lacks training, oversight and a settled mission.
