I agree with this. The whistleblower letter written on behalf of Erez Reuveni, a former DOJ senior immigration lawyer, basically describes in extensive detail a contumacious if not criminal course of conduct by Emil Bove and other senior officials at DOJ.
The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

Trump’s About to Slash Medicaid. TV News Has Barely Noticed.
The rush job to pass the big beautiful bill has had its intended outcome: not giving the public time to catch on to the consequences.

Cuomo's reemergence has already damaged the party by causing Democratic leaders do outright hypocrisy and cheapen #MeToo. The same people who ousted Al Franken for less than Cuomo's serial harassment, then ousted Cuomo himself, now endorse him.

Good headline WSJ
Government statements meaningless for now
Damage Extent From U.S. Strikes on Iran's Fordow Nuclear Site Unclear
Analysts seek clues through satellite imagery, but beyond large holes and evidence of discoloration, comprehensive conclusion of strike success proves elusive for now.

I have obtained new nonpublic data from ICE that shows that 2/3 of the people it had booked into detention facilities this fiscal year had no criminal convictions at all. Less than 7% have violent convictions. Most convictions were for immigration, traffic, and vice offenses.
