Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

Honestly. I respect the hustle on this one.
Six people in Nepal have been arrested in an elaborate helicopter rescue scam in which companies carried out hundreds of unnecessary evacuations from Mount Everest and other peaks to defraud insurance companies out of millions.

Every story I read about the revocation of TPS for Haitians makes me shake with rage. I am no longer surprised at the cruelty of this regime, but it is deeply shameful that our country is doing this. This is simply ethnic cleansing.
‘I’m dead.’ As Haitian temporary protected status ends tomorrow, it’s unknown how people will survive. - The Boston Globe
TPS, a legal status reserved for those fleeing countries in upheaval, is slated to end for Haitians on Tuesday.

🗃️ State & local jurisdictions cannot defy federal law but neither can the federal govt order them to enforce every aspect of that law. For some origins of this ongoing tension in immigration federalism, rooted in the history of American slavery, here is a 🧵 on Prigg v. Pennsylvania (1842) 🧵 1/10

This is the legacy of ICE. This is Trump's legacy.

This is also what American society voted for. We need to take a hard look at ourselves.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

The mom who we all saw turning the wheel and trying to drive away was actually a domestic terrorist trying to run over a poor ICE agent, and now the nurse who we all saw coming to the aid of another ICE victim was actually a deranged shooter who had to be taken down.

Goes to show that these people are truly idiots. There are commentaries twisting themselves backward trying to tease out a worldview or a grand strategy.

No, they are simply stupid. They should be treated accordingly.

Our reporting has found that ICE sent 600 immigrant kids to detention in federal shelters in 2025.

A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.

Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn:

I'm excited to announce I'm doing a new Bloomberg column about the business of fashion. The first column is about how we can re-shore US garment manufacturing. Instead of mass deportations and raising tariffs, I argue the government should move the industry upstream:

The "worst problem you've never heard of" is the leading cause of Black land loss in this country.

Over the years, it's seen Black families stripped of hundreds of billions of dollars in land. It's called "heirs' property."

Too few people are talking about the blood on Elon Musk's hands.

When DOGE slashed foreign aid, it wasn't just numbers on a screen. It was insulin, food, and antibiotics being ripped away from the world's poorest children.
