In its own version of "1984," the White House created a pathological narrative about what happened on January 6th. I sat down with Dean Blundell to talk about how, five years on, the coup rolls on, and what that means for the future of the United States and the world.

Just now: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

ICE ultimately denied the members their due right to oversight.

When I was getting my TS clearance, I to explain to a very young FBI agent why I had a collection on my credit report for 99 cents.

The funny part is - if you're under 30, you're going to say "what a waste of time"

If you're over 40, you're going to ask "Hollywood or Blockbuster"?
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

Kelly Morrison on a Twin Cities ICE facility she & other members of Congress tried to visit: "We were told to leave. We met with 2 of the commanding officers & they told us the reason we were not able to stay & meet with detainees is because the funding for ICE came from the 'Big Beautiful Bill.'"

These thugs recognize the GOP's "Beautiful Bill" rendered ICE into a massive internal occupation force that, quite literally, assaults our nation's democratic institutions.

New footage taken by the ICE officer who shot and killed Renee Good gives new insight into the incident. Fmr. NYPD Lt. Darrin Porcher says “I don’t hear threatening behavior” from Good, saying “this officer has to answer to this.” #Velshi
‘I don’t hear threatening behavior:’ Fmr. NYPD Lt. analysis of new Renee Good shooting video
Newly released footage from the smartphone of Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis, sheds new light on the shooting. Breaking down the footage with Ali Velshi, Pace University School of Criminal Justice adjunct professor and former NYPD Lieutenant Dr. Darrin Porcher calls the incident “a travesty” and says that Ross’s behavior goes against policing best practices. Porcher says that despite claims that Good was threatening Ross, “that’s not what I see in the video” and adds that the Trump administration is “drawing conclusions far too soon.”

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from 66 international bodies, including the Freedom Online Coalition. With this move, the US has formally stepped away from a core part of its leadership of the global Internet norms it once helped build, writes Konstantinos Komaitis.

Hegseth didn’t have the courage to give Mark Kelly a trial by court martial because he knew he would lose it and be humiliated. So he is taking the cowardly way out. Whatever action he takes unilaterally will discredit US military civilian leadership and be reversed in 3 years.
