One has to admit that Trump is brilliant at driving the news. We are now wasting attention on a ridiculous and unnecessary debate about invading Greenland, eclipsing attention on more important issues, foreign and domestic.

If President Trump ordered the annexation of Greenland, it would end NATO. He would be destroying the system that has reinforced American security for 80 years—and all for a vanity project, as I told @katiecouric.bsky.social

There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.
BREAKING: James Rodden, an ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work Tuesday.

Over the weekend, ICE agents repeatedly used the killing of Renee Good to threaten Minnesotans recording their activities. "Did you not learn from what just happened?" They thought it was a "lesson" and now they'd be left alone. Didn't work.

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

This is not because Biden was lax about enforcing benefits fraud. His administration set the all-time record for convictions. It's just that, as benefits fraud has grown since 2020, noncitizen fraud convictions have continued to fall year after year.

At least 33 people have died in ICE custody in the last year.
2 US citizens were shot and killed by ICE officers in just the last two weeks.
Up to 4000 people detained by ICE are unaccounted for.
If what ICE was doing was legal, they wouldn’t be lying to protect them from accountability.
