Your suspicion was right.
Trump shut down the Kennedy Center out of pure embarrassment after the cancellations.
He’s betting we forget in two years.
In 2023 the Kennedy Center was in the black, pulling in $286M in revenue. And it reopened from a $250M renovation in 2019.

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

Since only US citizens can legally vote their is no reason for ICE to be at the polls it's up to the states to make sure every vote was cast legally not the federal government

It's kind of amazing how the worst consequence many of our most powerful people can conceive of is someone being mad at them online, to the degree that they are driven to distraction about it even in the abstract.
It’s really weird for some corners of the media to do a whole “the Epstein files are a moral panic that has gone too far” thing when no one has faced any sort of punishment and doesn’t sound like they’re going to.

Rebecca Watson's video on the Epstein Files is one for the ages. My favorite part is where Krauss is getting conflicting advice from his lawyer and Epstein on his sexual misconduct case, so he just loops Epstein into the convo as his famous rapist friend.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.
Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen:
A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained"
But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

Extremely cool to see another ICE / CBP agent rocking the Neo-Nazi accelerationist skullmask (Seattle, yesterday).
Even more convincing evidence that I should totally just trust armed dudes in the exact same outfits as guys who tried to murder me, and do whatever they say because "DHS."
