Trump granted asylum to the suspect. Most importantly, Trump and MAGA governors who comply with the president’s whims and who send national guardsmen around the country wily-nily for tasks they are not trained to perform are responsible for their safety.

In a settlement with four Republican-led states, the DHS has agreed to redesign its federal immigration database to serve voter “verification” purposes — a dramatic expansion of federal data that voting rights advocates have long warned could supercharge wrongful purges and threaten voter privacy.

Hegseth called one chapter in his 2024 book, “The Laws Of War, For Winners.”
He wrote: “Our boys should not fight by rules written by dignified men in mahogany rooms eighty years ago.”
(He also fantasized about treating Americans like overseas combatants.)

Reporters need to stop buying his bull on this. The questions they ask of him need to contain the facts before the question. Otherwise you're just setting him up to lie.
Trump pardoned a billionaire fraudster shortly after he reported to prison—this guy stole from regular hardworking people, and his punishment was a few days in jail? If you're rich and well-connected, Trump’s got your back. Everyone else gets to pound sand.
