The memo is addressed to all ICE personnel. But it has been shown only to “select DHS officials” who then shared it with some employees who were told to read it and return it, Whistleblower Aid wrote in the disclosure. One of the two whistleblowers was allowed to view the memo only in the presence of a supervisor and then had to give it back. That person was not allowed to take notes. A whistleblower was able to access the document and lawfully disclose to Congress, Whistleblower Aid said.

I'm just a simple country lawyer but this whole "you can only read the memo in front of supervisors and you can't take notes on it and don't tell anyone" doesn't sound like the behavior of an administration that believes it's behaving in the right!

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

‘60 Minutes’ Pulled a Segment. A Correspondent Calls It ‘Political.’

“Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices..."“It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now, after every rigorous internal check has been met, is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.”

The OTHER Democratic Demand for Reopening the Government It’s about stopping Donald Trump and Russ Vought—and it can’t happen soon enough.

"Those who study the law and are experts on the balance of power warn that unless Congress reasserts its authority soon, we may end up unable to repair the guardrails that have held our government together for centuries."

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

Democratic governors form a public health alliance in a rebuke of Trump They're framing it as a way to share data and messages about threats, emergency preparedness and public health policy at a time when the federal government isn't doing its job in public health.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

Trump Administration Cut DHS Grants Meant to Prevent Political Violence DHS rescinded millions in prevention grants just months before high-profile political assassinations, leaving schools and local governments struggling to maintain early-warning systems.

DHS cut $15M in grants meant to curb political violence just as it surges nationwide, from school threats to assassinations, leaving communities with fewer tools to detect danger and prevent bloodshed.

Holy - and I cannot emphasize this enough - shit.

Also, this guy was a senior project 2025 organizer.

So basically Republicans shut down the House of Representatives for the rest of the summer solely because Trump is all over the Epstein files.

Trump’s Latest Executive Order is a Sham—and a Warning From Marc | The greatest threat to Donald Trump’s authoritarian dream is not the courts — it is free and fair elections.

The greatest threat to Donald Trump’s authoritarian dream is not the courts — it is free and fair elections. While the courts can stand in the way of his twisted vision for America, they can never completely halt it. Trump knows this. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Domesticated animals are loyal, because they are dependent. Unlike wildlife, they don't know how to hunt and care for themselves. Even feral animals lose their loyalty.

This is what billionaires desire of us, and they're banking on AI to do it. They want to take our jobs, pride and self worth.
