Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then the Speaker of the House opens his mouth again.

"Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant"

So much for adhering to the rules. ICE people use show of force and do not appear to utilize impulse control.

Exclusive: A U.S. official has alleged wrongdoing by U.S. spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to people familiar with the matter.
Classified Whistleblower Complaint About Tulsi Gabbard Stalls Within Her Agency
Congress hasn’t seen the complaint, which was filed eight months ago with the U.S. intelligence community watchdog’s office.

One can hope that this will happen. Americans do your thing!

Tonight begins Tu B'Shevat a holiday that honors and celebrates tress.
February 2, 2026 at 1:25 AM
Yes!
Tonight is Tu B’Shvat, the “birthday of the trees” for Jews.

It is one of the holidays most tied to the natural cycle of the seasons rather than to the events of Jewish history (e.g. Hannukah, Tisha B’Av, Passover).

Specifically, it is tied to the natural cycle of Palestine/the Land of Israel.

Todah for expressing these points. Very powerful. Happy Tu B'Shvat, Shalom

Is this surprising?
I testified Friday on the history of CBP and ICE's corruption and training problems. It's so much worse than you think.

The population of CBP officers/agents arrested THEMSELVES since 2005 would be America's 4th largest police dept—larger than the Philly PD. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...
Accountability for ICE and CBP
However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

ICE Expanding Trump’s Concentration Camp Empire
BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.

This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

Democrats must be pushed in the 2028 primary to explain how they're going to undue Trump personally selling sensitive AI tech to Abu Dhabi that will likely make its way to China
This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.
‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company
$500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.
