Alright, alright. I did not expect this at all. Happy to have been wrong about this not passing the House.
Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge.
The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

The thing with designating a group that doesn't actually exist as a terrorist organization is that they can then say anyone they want is a part of that group.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

That the United States is not only sanctioning such shocking inhumanity, but is also *paying* for it, is so despicable.
And that silence you hear is not one conservative "Christian" speaking out against it.

What the actual fuck... They are STILL helping to confirm these shit clown nominees??? I'm so done with these Democrats.
The Democrat who announces a primary challenge to Dick Durbin today, rather than waiting for him to announce his retirement, will raise $10 million in a week.
The Senate voted 56 to 44 to advance Trump's FDA commissioner, who was a "herd immunity" supporter during COVID.
3 Democrats joined Republicans in voting yes:
Durbin
Hassan
Shaheen

The Times has to issue a correction here. An Executive order can’t “require” any such thing. Calling it ‘an aggressive push to catch” fraud is bad editorial judgment. The first part is demonstrably false. Those who have any voice to the Times need to demand this. Might as well say pigs fly.
President Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday that will require proof of U.S. citizenship on election forms. The move is in an aggressive push to catch and combat voter fraud, which is exceedingly rare but constantly cited by Trump as a reason he lost the 2020 election.
Trump Signs Executive Order Requiring Proof of Citizenship to Vote in Elections
Administration officials cited cracking down on immigrants illegally on voter rolls as one of the executive order’s main goals, amplifying Mr. Trump’s grievances about electoral integrity.

I mean, yeah. Our entire prison system is run like that, of course the detention centers would be too.
This story is horrific and terrifying. Then, near the end, this:
"The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit."

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Tomorrow, we expect Trump is going to sign an Executive Order claiming to dissolve the U.S. Department of Education.
Reminder: Trump does not have the legal authority to destroy a cabinet department; reporting on the EO as if he does have that power is both inaccurate and unethical.
