Administrative subpoenas have predictably become a scourge. Why go through a judge or grand jury when some mid-level DHS douche can basically file their own?

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

After Trump’s pardons, Jan. 6 rioters have won refunds from the government
Last year, President Donald Trump pardoned almost 1,600 people charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. Now many of them might get money back from the government.
