A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.
Because it's America first, Trump says he'll only make war decisions he and Netanyahu can agree on. www.timesofisrael.com/trump-to-tim...
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio meets with Secretary Rubio
Enrique Tarrio and other Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Trump pardoned them.
Tarrio and his men planned the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Tarrio even claimed credit for it, messaging others: “Make no mistake…We did this…”
Now he’s meeting with Sec. Rubio.
Iran actually was a democracy from 1941 to 1953. What ended it? US and UK removed elected leader and installed the pro-West Shah because he promised to give US and UK oil. From there the US helped the Shah brutally repress Iranians for decades. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/dirty-secr...

I just called my US senators and told them to publicly call for Tim Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting and apparently breaking the hand of a Marine today.
You can call your Senators, too.
Find them here: reps.fyi
Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.
I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.
Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.
Moral of the story? Congressional oversight matters. Congress should do it more.
Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."
"Those precious few Dems that are trying to do something about the ongoing, slow-moving coup, are trying to do everything by the book, or at least pretending to do so. But you cannot go by the book if *the book is burning,* or if the book is *the fucking Necronomicon!"* Sarah Kendzior, 2018
Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

WASHINGTON (AP) - More than 20 states sue over new global tariffs Trump imposed after Supreme Court loss.
INBOX: data from the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migrations show that in the most recent three months, every single one of the 1,651 refugees accepted into the United States were of (white) South African origin.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
He MUST be impeached. He must.
So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:
- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges

I thought his father was born in the U.S. and his grandfather was born in Germany….
Is Trump the child of undocumented migrants, or is so mentally shook he’s mixing up his father and grandfather. Neither is a great look.
But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴
Nurul Amin Shah Alam's violent arrest, by police who saw his walking stick as a weapon—and who, like the Border Patrol officers who dumped him, apparently made no attempt to reckon with his disability or his mental state—set off events that ended in his death. www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/20...
Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Nazi concentration camp prisoner population by year
ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.
Leslie Wexner is one of the 10 co-conspirators named by the FBI during the 2019 arrest of Epstein.
He gave Epstein millions of dollars and the $70 million NYC townhouse.
Leon Black gave Epstein over $170 million.
Both men are alive.
How come they've never been asked to testify?
Breaking MS NOW:
Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise.
Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.
