Watch @chrislhayes.bsky.social face when he picks up what @asharangappa.bsky.social is putting down. Keep in mind that Giuliani advised Trump in Dec 2020 the only way the DoD could seize voting machines is if there were foreign election interference, which Sidney Powell then tried to fabricate.

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range.

And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

The economist:
And finally there is an editorial, in which we argue that Donald Trump is "creating a militia which answers only to himself" and how he could use it to "stage provocations pretty much anywhere with impunity, including during elections" if Congress does not step in www.economist.com/leaders/2026...
ICE’s impunity is a formula for more violence
Is America’s president building his own paramilitary militia?

SCOOP: Federal prosecutors in Minnesota are resigning rather than file protest charges without evidence, sources tell Mother Jones. Attorneys say Trump’s DOJ is pressuring them to charge first—and look for proof later.

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed.

ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

Can confirm. Nothing has changed on the ground. ICE still attacking people, kidnapping, all that stuff—and the city is still out protecting and helping neighbors
Absolutely surreal to continue to hear about drawdowns and lowered temperatures and things calming down in Minneapolis when, as far as I can tell, literally nothing has changed on the ground

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.

DHS doesn’t even bother trying to lie well. The man whose skull was shattered told the hospital he’d been struck by ICE officers, an ICE officer told hospital staff the guy “got his sh*t rocked,” then when it became clear how badly he was injured, they claimed he deliberately ran into a wall.

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing.

She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

"De-escalation" was always complete bullshit. White House has been escalating all week.
This is an OUTRAGEOUS assault on the press and just goes to show that Convicted Felon Donald Trump doesn’t want people to see the truth about what is happening in our country when he tries to silence us!

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
