We shouldn't have to choose between security and privacy, write Scott Shuchart and Nicole Schneidman. They explain the latest TSA + ICE data agreement and why it should concern every American, regardless of their views on immigration enforcement.
ICE is monitoring all Americans’ air travel
Hope you wanted warrantless surveillance in your stocking

What the ever-loving hell is this.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

I bet they are telling him he's the best one they've ever seen. That's so much sadder and funnier
They keep asking me to take cognitive tests every couple months because I'm so good at them, they want to see if I can beat my high score

ICE in Burnsville, MN followed a family home, broke down their door, and abducted 4 of them at gunpoint including the parents of a 7 year old and the husband of a pregnant woman. All of this occurred without a warrant for a home owned by a US citizen. (12/6/25)

In other words, Trump is planning to provide socialist welfare to people who voted for him after he ruined their businesses with his stupid tariffs.

But you can't have medicine, food, or ACA supplements.
President Trump is planning a $12 billion farm aid package, according to a White House official — a boost to farmers who have struggled to sell their crops while getting hit by rising costs after the president raised tariffs on China as part of a broader trade war. https://to.pbs.org/4ptNxEm

Rep. Adelita Grijalva was pepper-sprayed by ICE agents during a raid last week.

Remember: ICE is getting $170B in new funding from Trump's Big Ugly Bill and lowering its hiring standards.

If Trump's thugs can do this to a member of Congress, they can do it to you.

ICE heavy in Shakopee this am.

They clearly don’t like the pressure of our observer network tracking them . Went so far as to box me (and others) in with their vehicles and take pics while we sat in a parking lot.

ICE intimidation won’t work. DM me to join our observer network.

Representative Adelita Grijalva went to lunch and came across an ICE raid. Even after telling them she was a member of congress, the thugs pepper sprayed her.

Her question: if they treat a member of congress this way, how are they treating the defenseless people they kidnap?

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Democratic politicians need to stop accepting Trump’s white nationalist premise that immigration is bad and proudly and loudly make a positive case for why America’s identity and history as a nation of immigrants is so important.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.
