This is a must-read about what the Trump Administration is really up to with the arrest of Don Lemon. They are using a 90’s policing tactic called “Broken Windows” theory and are applying it to protestors.

The fact that ICE resides under DHS instead of DOJ is a systemic flaw. ICE was never intended to interact with US citizens, who have different, constitutionally protected rights than illegal immigrants.

Democrats in Congress need to “Interview and/or Depose fmr FBI Tracee Mergen: who resigned after being pressured by higher-ups in DC to DISCONTINUE her investigation into ICE officer Jonathan Ross (who shot US Citizen and mother-of-two Renee Good).” #TheAgenda

The question I get asked the most is “what can Democrats do” to hold Trump accountable while in the congressional minority. Every Monday, The Watchdog Report will publish #TheAgenda to answer that question. Here are 3 things Dems need to do right now!

If this were really about illegal immigration, Donald Trump and Kristi Noem wouldn’t be sending their good squad to Minnesota; they’d be sending them to Florida and Texas, where the illegal immigrant population is more than one million.

To be clear: having a firearm isn’t evidence of anything because if it were, Kyle Rittenhouse wouldn’t be regarded as a hero by the Republican Party when he showed up to a protest with a friggin AR15!!!!

Trump defenders like to boast that he’s the “most effective president in US history.”

You know who else is effective? Serial killers.

Anybody can be “effective” that doesn’t mean it’s a good thing.

Anyone can be “effective” if they’re willing to abandon human decency.

Profiles in courage … don’t be fooled America, most Republican say the same things about Trump behind closed doors as we say in public.

Now we know why Republicans called J6th a “normal tourist day” and recast violent insurrectionists as “patriots” “heroes” and “victims” … it was just a dress rehearsal for what was to come…
January 25, 2026 at 3:06 PM
One of these was dubbed a hero/patriot/victim, the other was shot & killed by federal law enforcement. Which one looks like a “domestic terrorist” or a “threat” to law enforcement?
January 24, 2026 at 11:38 PM
Just a reminder that when Kyle Rittenhouse showed up to a protest like this … Donald Trump and his propagandists had a very different narrative about guns and protestors …

To be clear: an insurrectionist using a Confederate flag pole to attack police guarding the US Capitol is dubbed a “patriot” and can receive a presidential pardon while US citizens in Minnesota exercising their 1st amendment rights to protest and assemble get executed.

RE: tomorrow’s contempt markup at House Oversight:

If I were @BillClinton @HillaryClinton - I’d show up at the contempt mark-up, get sworn in and either 1.) take the 5th for every question or 2.) say “yes, I was on the island and I saw Donald Trump with underage girls”

Use of force is supposed to be Law enforcement’s last resort, not be first. For all the talk from the right about protecting American’s from the dangerous “illegals,” the only one who’s lost their life in all of this “enforcement” is an American citizen.
