As holiday travel picks up, we have heard reports of travelers being detained by DHS.

If you are a NY-14 constituent worried about detention, consider filling out an ICE privacy release form. This form allows my office to contact ICE on your behalf ⬇️

Trump’s envoy spoon-feeding Putin advice on how to manipulate his own boss is peak national humiliation. It is the geopolitical equivalent of handing your house keys to the burglar and asking if he’d like a snack.

If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.

The EU is preparing a legal document to seal a reparations loan, jolting the long-stalled 140-billion-euro plan to back cash‑strapped Kyiv after rival peace plans put it in doubt.

The document is expected to be released within days, Bloomberg reported, citing its sources.
Europe preparing legal groundwork for reparations loan to Ukraine
"The next step is that the Commission is ready to present the legal text," said Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission president, in a speech to European lawmakers in Strasbourg on Nov. 26.

This is amazing.

As if "trading down" isn't an economic decision.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

Trump's own party just humiliated him, forcing a retreat on his healthcare plan. His deal-making facade is crumbling as Republicans defy him, leaving Americans in the lurch. It's a beautiful mess of their own making.

For those who guessed Blanche and Bove—congratulations, you’re correct.

I took this photo after a hearing in Ft. Pierce in June 2024.

At the time, Blanche and Bove were Trump’s criminal defense attorneys.
Help me settle a bet.

Can you identify the people in this photo?

UPDATE: DOJ lawyers state that DHS Sec. Kristi Noem made decision not to return March 15 flights.

Also Tuesday, ACLU lawyers name Emil Bove, now a federal judge, as a possible witness in Boasberg's contempt inquiry over the flights.
