WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?

MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

This is where I come down as well.

I take his intent seriously, but there's a huge gap between what he wants to do and what he can actually do given the way our elections are run.

We need an all-out effort to make sure he "wins" as little as he can, but the doomerism is largely misplaced.
1. Trump certainly wants to fully rig elections.
2. He has no actual plausible plan to do so.
3. We should absolutely take the threat very seriously and actively do what's possible to protect elections and democracy.
4. What's actually likely is success or failure at the margins; every bit counts.
The last time he started talking like this, his allies minimized the risks and we ended up with January 6. This time we must take him literally and seriously. These comments are a five-alarm fire for democracy. In a functioning republic, he would be impeached and removed from office today.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined.

See the problem here?

Who elected Stephen Miller?
Calling a judge “unelected” for blocking an unlawful policy flips democracy on its head. In our system, elections choose who governs; the Constitution requires federal judges to be appointed, not elected, so courts enforce how they govern within the law and the Constitution.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Polymarket, the gambling app that lets users bet on just about anything, was being investigated for violating money laundering laws.

Then Trump became president. The DOJ dropped its probe. And Don Jr. (who was an investor) got hired as an advisor to the company.

Funny how that works, huh?

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE.

Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

Good morning 🌞

We’ll start the day with some good news. US life expectancy is at an all-time high thanks to advances in cancer treatments and decreases in opioid overdoses and heart disease. We still lag behind dozens of countries.

Would be a shame to lose those gains from recent policy changes

Remarkable: 55% of noncollege whites and even 50% of rural whites say ICE is too aggressive, per new Fox News poll.

And 71% of independents disapprove of Trump on immigration.

This is digging deep into Trump's base.

There is a new measles outbreak at one of the migrant detention centers.

This has the potential to be very serious. Somehow I don’t have a lot of faith in the “ICE Health Services Corps”.
Measles cases have been reported in 2 ICE detention facilities in 2026. The facilities are in Arizona and Texas.

Measles is highly contagious. There is a vaccine. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Raise your voice. Call your representatives. Demand humane treatment.

Measles has one of the highest basic reproduction numbers (R₀) of any disease (12 to 18), meaning one infected person can spread it to 12 to 18 others in a fully susceptible population, making it extremely contagious. Need 95% vaccination status to achieve herd immunity. Get vaccinated!!
