Q: Can you confirm that CBP actually hit a party balloon it thought was a drone with a laser? And why wasn't that coordinated with the FAA?
KRISTI NOEM: You know, this was a joint agency task force, um, mission that was undertaken. And um, we're continuing to work on communication

Outright sadism.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Hi friends,
As many of you know, ICE is operating in ways that tear families apart, enter homes without warrants, and traumatize innocent people. This is not law enforcement — this is terror and an abuse of power.

The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket."
The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might.
More on this tomorrow.

The interesting thing about ICE and CBP blatant lies is that it has normie people questioning what other law enforcement lies like this on the regular.
It has shattered a lot of the deference people had.

Good news for Katie Hobbs, who is now even more favored to win #AZGov reelection.
Looks like Arizona might be in for a repeat of 2022 where the crazies get the statewide GOP nomination.
GOP Rep. Dave Schweikert remains in the mix, but he’s likely too moderate to win the primary.

Big AZ news: Karrin Taylor Robson, the more-establishment GOP candidate for governor of Arizona, just dropped out of the race.
This seems to seal the deal for Andy Biggs, a far-right member of Congress who chaired the Freedom Caucus, to get the GOP nod against Dem Governor Katie Hobbs.
