I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.
I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Ro Khanna: “It's not a coincidence that what set Trump off was the hecklers saying, ‘you're a pedophile protector’ — He knows he's losing the MAGA base on this. He was elected to expose the corruption. Instead, every move they made is to protect people who raped underage girls”

I am The Post’s ‘federal government whisperer.’ It’s been brutal.
One reporter’s effort to show how Trump was transforming government brought her 1,168 new sources — and nearly broke her.

The FBI searched a Washington Post reporter’s home as part of an investigation into classified material, people familiar with the matter said. It is exceedingly rare for federal agents to search a journalist’s home. trib.al/tKsg85n

NEW: The Senate advanced a bipartisan resolution to block further military action in Venezuela unless authorized by Congress.
Our message is clear: Trump cannot continue to march us into another forever war with no end state.
Focus on running America.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

I strongly suspect the ICE shooter/murderer has a past that should have prevented him from ever being employed in law enforcement.
The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good must be prosecuted for murder. He enjoys no immunity from state murder charges.
Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

Let this be clear: ICE shot and killed a 37-year-old U.S. citizen in Minneapolis. Not at the border. Not armed. Trying to leave. This agency is out of control, and silence is complicity. This isn’t “border security.” It’s state violence with a badge—and it keeps happening.
