Why does Trump not mind shutting down Congressional business in an attempt to get the unpassable SAVE Act? (1) He wants to rig the elections. (2) He doesn't care about Congress anyway. prospect.org/2026/06/25/t...

First it was FISA, then a housing bill that overwhelmingly passed. Now it’s going to end congressional lawmaking for the rest of the year.

I agree. That’s why Dems need to ensure that the crypto bill has ethics provisions. @AndyKimNJ @CoryBooker

Democrats think their secret sauce in 2026 is targeting Trump and Republicans on ‘corruption’
Republicans think they have a potent counter — and it’s centered on Vice President JD Vance’s anti-fraud task force.

This case is horrifying. The man had deferred action, was on a full path to a green card, is a college grad magna cum laude, and ICE arrested him randomly while looking for someone else: “What do we do?” said one ICE officer, to which another replied “We’re going to take him with us anyway.”
On January 3, 2026, petitioner was on his way to work when he noticed an SUV
with blacked-out windows, driving erratically and following him, leading Garcia Lanza
to suspect that he had been targeted for a robbery. DE 12-1 2. In fact, Garcia Lanza
had been targeted. According to Supervisory Detention and Deportation Officer Jason Langlois, "ICE along with Special Agents from Homeland Security Investigations arrested petitioner while conducting a targeted operation on a third party." DE 11-1,
95. In other words, Garcia Lanza was not the individual the officers were looking to arrest.
Nevertheless, he was soon surrounded by four vehicles and swarmed by a group
of immigration agents. Why? According to the Government, "Officers visually observed petitioner and believed him to match the description of the third party." DE
11-1 15. Asked if he had a "green card," Garcia Lanza provided his U.S. Work
Authorization card, which an agent seized from him. DE 12-1 112-3. That card, valid
until November 3, 2026, states that he "is authorized to work in the U.S. for the validityof this card." DE 1-1 at 7. It also demonstrated to the agents that they had seized the
wrong person.
The officers surrounding Garcia Lanza took his picture, examined his USCIS
Work Authorization Card, and then, according to petitioner, "seemed unsure what to
do with me." DE 12-1 14. He heard one officer ask "What do we do?" to which the officer holding his identification responded "We're going to take him with us anyway." Id. He was handcuffed by the officers, patted down, surrendered his property and
placed in a vehicle with another arrestee. Id. 15. Garcia Lanza reports that he was
arrested in an area in which the residents are principally Latino and Black and that the
officers initially tried to communicate with him in Spanish. Id.
He was taken to the Hempstead Armory, where he and another detainee were
shackled. Id. At this point, he observed one of the officers complete an administrative
warrant of arrest for his apprehension, which the officer showed to his stepfather who
arrived at the scene. Id. 6-7. His stepfather snapped a picture of the administrative
warrant, signed by an immigration officer, which states that "the subject either lacks
immigration status or...is removable under U.S. immigration law." DE 1-1 at 2. While the timeline differs slightly, a supervisory ICE officer admits unabashedly that officers
apprehended petitioner without an administrative warrant, executing it only after his
apprehension. DE 11-1 15.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean  “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
