Last week Border Patrol and ICE largely abandoned Chicago and the administration pulled most of the National Guard. And why? Because they got worn down by the fierce, furious resistance and monitoring by residents and the canny legal cases and firm judicial responses to agents' unlawful misbehavior.

One of the best cross-examinations I've heard started with: "Sir, can you describe what you're apologizing for?"
That seems appropriate here.

Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”
He will continue teaching.

The law and order president? Trump just pardoned a man whom officers found in possession of 6 guns and almost 5000 ammo rounds at home, despite being a felon not allowed to have guns.

Remember the Suzanne Ellen Kaye, woman who threatened to shoot FBI agents looking into a tip on her participation in the Jan. 6 riot? She served 18 months after being convicted. Trump has now pardoned her.

Honduran-born US citizen in NC Willy Aceituno said Border Patrol stopped him twice, breaking his car window, forcing him out of his car, and throwing him to the ground. "I told them, 'I'm an American citizen". They wanted to know where I was born, or they didn't believe I was an American citizen".

DHS claims it does not arrest and detain US citizens but there are numerous examples that it does. Willfull and ignorant agents simply won't believe citizens and won't check their papers. Unconstitutional!

Mendacious and eggregiously aggressive Bovino et al. from Border Patrol have slunk out of Chicago, after a judge in charge of the consent decree ruled they had to wear IDs and turned on cameras and could not use weapons against the press and peaceful protesters in Operation Midway Blitz.

The fact that the crew of the Sept. 15 boat US blow-up in the Caribbean turned out to be Columbian poor fisherman shows the fallacy of Trump's claims the boats were Venezuelan Narco-Terrorists. Wrong country and wrong type of people. Extrajudicial killings.

About the soon to be released trove of Epstein files, House Speaker Mike Johnson who did his best to prevent that with numerous maneuvers now says Trump "has nothing to hide from this." If so, why did the two try to hard to prevent release?

More documents from the Epstein prosecution are coming out, and guess what they show? That, contrary to what he says, Trump knew about Epstein's sexual doings with juveniles and spent time with at least one of them. Not to say, yet, that he was involved in the doings, but aware of them.

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino admitted in court last week that he lied on social media and to the press that he lobbed the tear-gas cannister at protesters because someone threw a rock and hit his head. The judge commented that he had lied repeated in a deposition about his use of force.
