It's not just Trump's secret police, plenty of other countries demand you open your phone so they can search it: North Korea, Iran, China, Russia and Israel, for instance. And come to think of it, these are the countries Trump normally votes with at the UN.

Release the Jack Smith transcript.
Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.
"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

The move would mark one of the admin's first attempts to revoke the visas of people they deem to be engaging in the “censorship” of Americans.
