A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

the fact that the whole Republican party is so excited to be seen with Nicki Minaj now seems weird until you realize they're all just desperate weirdos who want people to think they're cool
Nicki Minaj warmly embraces Speaker Mike Johnson and he says “I almost wore this coat today, I’m so glad I didn’t.”

So my connect the dots here is that there will be some allegation that there was foreign interference in the voting — Hugo Chavez, Italian satellites, etc. — (hence why DNI is involved), making it a nat sec issue that they will use to justify doing something crazy/illegal in Nov

this passed out of both chambers today
1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature.

It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.

The House is voting on it today.

The bill, which is racing through the Kansas legislature, stands a significant chance of passing the Senate.

Intel community has very little business in domestic law enforcement and especially about elections. But quite possible the administration really is going to try to claim Maduro rigged 2020, especially now that they are in a position to incentive him to falsely testify to it

Pay attention to this. The purpose of these investigations is not just to manufacture evidence to support Trump’s 2020 “voter fraud” accusations, but also to set the stage for another round of efforts to suppress votes and delegitimize election results in 2026 (which the GOP is likely to lose).
1/ NEW: @propublica.org has obtained a search warrant that the FBI is executing for records related to the contested 2020 election in Fulton County, Ga., which has not yet been widely shared. It’s an extraordinary document.

This is one of the clearest shots across the bow yet. The administration has no intention of permitting free and fair elections going forward; that fact does not mean that they will be successful or are particularly competent, but acknowledging that is a prerequisite to counteracting it
