The Democrat got 48% in the first round and increased by 10% in the runoff. 95k votes counted in runoff. 119k votes in first round.

Rehmet got 48% in round one which should have been the warning and yet he did 10 points better in round two.

I looked up the original election date that led to this runoff and Rehmet did get 48% at that time with the GOP candidate getting 36% and another GOPer getting 16%.

Someone posted the reporting schedule which seems to be on an hourly basis stated as "no later than" the hour mark. 10, 11, 12, 1 am, etc.

I can't even give them points for honesty that they don't want lawyers who will follow and enforce the law - supporting Trump (and maybe a law degree) are all that is needed.

I think Bondi is going to be firing a lot of the "review and redaction" team because Trump cannot be liking what got released.

The lack of updates from the county is ….. troubling

No music licensing? So did the artists donate their songs? I read there are songs by Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Tears For Fears and others.

We need as many congressional hearings on how the first statement on Pretti was made as there were for Bhengazi

I feel so bad for you. I don't think you got paid enough to have to watch that film and then think about it to write about it.

There is an email saying "I removed one name. Anthony Cibelli. because the reporter made no specific allegations." So, now the name appears!

Have they actually done the math to see whether they think they will net out with more GOP seats? How much population will Texas and Florida lose if the count were done as Missouri and Louisiana desire?

Except don't they want to put out stuff on Bill Clinton? They really haven't thought this through.

I have a vague recollection that once upon a time Mercedes or some other high end car dealership was offering to add a new Yugo to any car purchase. No additional charge.

Those aren't people who have overstayed their visas or didn't comply with the terms of their visas like Elon Musk. Per this report, the number of overstays is less than I thought or recall reading about a few decades ago. Google says the overstay rate is 1-3%. www.dhs.gov/sites/defaul...

Meanwhile, there are thousands of white europeans who have overstayed their tourist/student and even work visas. Trump isnt going after them

Shouldnt they finish cleansing and redacting the Epstein files first?

Mike Johnson: "So why did you have me keep Congress out to avoid passing the bill that you were never going to comply with anyway?"

Plus, I thought DOJ had finished redactions last March - which was after the "release" in those binders in February

The officers who killed Good and Pretti were not neophytes. They had been ICE officers for years. In other words, they didn't need more training - they acted in accordance with their training. Abolish ICE and start over with correct training and limited purposes.

That is really dating yourself! [and yes, I had that Melanie poster in my bedroom]

I guess if they are so fiercely loyal to Bovino, they have no choice but to resign from ICE
January 27, 2026 at 2:18 AM
When is ICE going in force to Miami or San Antonio?
