I just took a ride with Uber, and my driver is from Venezuela. He spent the whole trip expressing concern that the same shift from democracy to dictatorship he saw in Venezuela is happening right now in the United States. He’s absolutely incredulous that Americans are allowing it to happen.

COLLINS: Did it stand out to you that he said Iceland multiple times when he was talking about Greenland?

NEWSOM: And that every time a windmill turns it costs $1,000. A lot of stuff stands out. None of this is normal. There's a deviancy of consciousness. He's graded off the curve.

COMER: Bondi has complied. She's turned over Epstein documents

ANSARI: 1% is not compliance

COMER: They're trying to get this

ANSARI: The subpoena from this committee was issued in July

COMER: Nobody on our side is defending Pam Bondi. They are turning documents over

My favorite part of Judge Novak's ruling on Lindsey Halligan is that basically she's too dumb to disbar.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Make no mistake about it, Trump is trying to replace all the stabilizing forces in the world like NATO and the United Nations. He wants to take over all of it. And he wants to share it with Putin. He wants the two of them to run the world.

Absolutely vile. The only people facing federal investigation of any kind right now for the killing of Renee Good are Minnesota officials who drew attention to it.

Senator Chris Van Hollen is also a No on the DHS funding deal, his spox confirms to me.
My statement on funding DHS:
The proposed Appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security released today puts no meaningful constraints on the growing lawlessness of ICE, and increases funding for detention over the last Appropriations bill passed in 2024.

Trump and his family have pocketed more than $1.8 billion in cash and gifts since his reelection. He said he would usher in a "New Golden Age" for America, but one year into his second term, he's only ushered in a new golden age for his own wallet.

This man is talking about stealing a country at gunpoint from nations the US is allied with. Of course Europeans hate us. You would feel the same way if you were in their place. American voters put this man in power, he didn’t seize it this time.
