This is Aliya Rahman, a disabled US citizen who was on her way to a doctor’s appointment when she was violently assaulted, arrested, and detained by ICE agents.
This is why we’re not giving DHS a cent until ICE is reined in – including use of force standards to which they can be held accountable.

This answer - from one of the president’s key economic advisors - is disgraceful.
And, fwiw, the number for tariff pass through is closer to 94-96 percent

Hassett on new study from NY Fed showing 90% of tariff burden is being shouldered by US firms & consumers: "The paper is an embarrassment. It's I think the worst paper I've ever seen in the history of the Fed system. The people associated with this paper should presumably be disciplined."

Trump was mentioned more than 38,000 times in the latest batch of Epstein files, according to a NY Times review of the DOJ's latest public release of some three million pages from the sprawling Epstein investigation.

New Mexico just created the Epstein Truth commission to investigate crimes committed by Epstein and his powerful friends in that state. New York should be doing exactly the same thing! Numerous children and women were raped and assaulted in NY by Epstein's rich friends. Time for justice:
