Missing records from Bondi and Patel draw scrutiny in Epstein release
The complaint calls it "deeply troubling" that no communications from Bondi or Patel appear in the ream of documents.

European countries are going to have to recognize the reality that over the next 3 years the US govt is going to operate like Russia - engaging in systematic efforts to tamper in their elections to elect far-right parties & candidates. It will be worse if Vance becomes president.

Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

They went through the trouble of severing DHS. Just shut down DHS if republicans don’t agree to your terms. Why extend it? I get that ICE is funded no matter what and won’t close down, but what was the point of severing DHS for leverage if you’re just gonna keep extending the funding?
If Dem senators vote to extend the DHS CR again, they are instantly going to lose a tremendous amount of support from their base who have been in wait-and-see mode on this. I can only assume Dem senators considering this have completely lost touch with their voters. Don’t do it.
