I found a Fox News interview from August 2025 where Border Czar Tom Homan acknowledges that ICE needs a judicial warrant to perform a search of private property -- contrary to an ICE memo that says agents only need an administrative warrant. Curious what he believes now.

I wrote about how Fox News is trying to portray Tom Homan as the immigration good cop, the professional, the cooler head -- all of which is absurd to anyone who knows the first thing about him. Fox is trying for a rebrand but the underlying policy hasn't changed.

“ICE has told lawmakers the app, called Mobile Fortify, provides a “definitive” determination of someone’s immigration status, and should be trusted over a birth certificate. “

Can’t bring myself to care about Joe Biden pardoning Hunter after saying he wouldn’t, his latest lie in a series of many lies. However it would be cool if he extended the same grace to the 360,000 other nonviolent drug offenders who face worse futures than Hunter ever did

Masterful gambit on Gaetz’s part to convince Trump to nominate him, drumming up a bunch of negative press about the sex scandal that most people had forgotten about, resign from Congress, and then withdraw from AG consideration. What cunning move will this bright conservative star make next
