USCIS has an office by mine in south Denver. They have a large parking lot full of brand new black Suburbans lined up. Looks like they are getting ready to ramp things up in Denver.

Sens Jon Husted (R-OH) & Bernie Moreno (R-OH) both got big payments from Les Wexner and then on cue started to disparage investigations into the Epstein files. This is how the corrupt system works.

This all started with one fake post from a right-wing clickbait account that posted translated lyrics that Bunny never sang during the show. But now they've all convinced themselves that it happened because they don't know Spanish. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Alford: "On Bad Bunny - we're still investigating. There's info out about the lyrics. I don't speak fluent Spanish, but if it's true what was said on natl TV, we have a lot of Qs for entities that broadcast it & we'll be talking w/ the FCC. This could be worse than the Janet wardrobe malfunction"

Thune’s plan has been obvious - drag this out as long as possible to put distance between the Pretti/Good murders and the final vote on DHS funding, hoping that the American public moves on. Senate Dems will never have more leverage for ICE reforms than they do right now.

Magaziner: Mayorkas testified in front of Congress like 30 times. Noem has only been in front of our committee twice, and one of the times, she left because she didn't want to answer questions. It's going to be very different when we are in the majority next year.

As more files from the Epstein case are released, I'm sickened by the extent of his depravity and his connections to so many powerful people. Governments around the globe are being shaken by the mentions of their leaders in the files, and the U.S. should apply the same scrutiny to our leaders.

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

RULE VOTE FAILS, 217-214.
Three Republicans- Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley, and Don Bacon - buck the party to allow floor consideration of measures to end Trump's tariffs.
The first such measure, likely on Canada tariffs, could come up as soon as tomorrow

Republicans have been holding this vote open for 40 minutes or so, but the holdouts- Massie, Kiley, Bacon, reportedly left the Capitol. The absent Republican is Greg Murphy (R-NC), who has missed a lot of time since a mid December surgery.
