Last year, I reported on a problematic NYPD unit led by a particularly problematic commander.
The commander once pointed a gun at a motorcyclist and threatened to kill him.
Well, that commander, Kaz Daughtry, has a new job.
He now works for Trump's DHS.

What if we did not have those videos? How many Americans would have believed this? Or given the Administration the benefit of the doubt?
This raises another — and rather urgent — question.
What else is happening that we are not seeing on camera?

I don't think anyone has done a census of what the US did with the DNA it collected from people in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The #Trump Administration wants your #DNA and five years' #socialmedia - www.privacyinternational.org/news-analysi... and family telephone nos. "#AI tools will likely be deployed to unlock details of your life for border and immigration agencies."
The Trump Administration wants your DNA and social media
Yesterday the Trump Administration announced a proposed change in policy for travellers to the U.S. It applies to the powers of data collection by the Customs and Border Police (CBP).

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

My column this week. The people running to make Alabama government responsive to its citizens can't count on the current electorate. They need to work to bring back the millions of Alabamians who have stopped voting, and restore their faith in the political process.
A better Alabama government requires a bigger Alabama electorate | Alabama Reflector
What Alabama voters want is not necessarily what Alabamians want. Because in state elections, most Alabamians don't vote.

During an "Antifa roundtable" at the WH in October, Kristi Noem stated that feds in Portland arrested the "girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa".

Will he get fired? Doubt it. But he will likely have less influence going forward, and that’s good for everyone.
