⚠️ ICE documents obtained through a FOIA lawsuit show the agency: 🔺 Collected tens of millions of voter records 🔺 Considered sending undercover agents to go after voting nonprofits 🔺 Weighed investigating voting machines 👀➡️ demdock.com/4ybyK4L
The image shows large red text stating "48.4M," with smaller text below explaining that this is the number of records obtained by ICE from a noted election denier, related to an alleged voter fraud hunt before the 2026 midterms.

The Trump administration is again separating families, except this time it’s doing so more quietly and away from the border. Agents have picked up hundreds of immigrant children, claiming that many of these kids are unaccompanied despite having families in the US.

NEW: 53% of Maryland voters oppose a Democratic-led redistricting effort that could make it easier to redraw district lines in the party's favor before 2028, a recent poll shows. The ballot measure could potentially dismantle the state's lone red district if approved by voters in November.

After mapping nearly 4,000 locations where human remains were found against information on nearly 600 surveillance towers, we discovered that a humanitarian crisis at the border has unfolded in view of the government’s own cameras.

The US spent billions on border surveillance. Why can’t it catch people before they die?
Surveillance towers, increasingly powered by AI, promised faster responses to crossings. Our investigation of deaths near the towers found they are failing to deliver.

So, one of my best argument against the electoral college is that it actually provides perverse incentives to presidents to ignore states they’re not going to win. Of course, Trump takes “perverse” to unhinged extremes.

My God.
MEGYN KELLY (HOST): No one will even consider the possibility that this woman made a decision to get it on with four men total, not seven, and enjoyed it because — I'm just going to be honest, she's not the most attractive gal. She's extremely beefy in her arms and her legs. She has a whole video online talking about her cankles. And she possibly enjoyed being admired. This is how women make these mistakes. Admired, wanted, some women even foolishly say loved by these guys at Cornell. But this is probably a first for her. She's probably thrilled to be so admired because she clearly didn't grow up the incredibly beautiful one.

I'm not trying to be insulting. I'm just trying to tell you the narrative that is likely to have occurred here, in my opinion. And why can't we account for that possibility? That the girl who was never the most sought after suddenly had four guys who wanted to have sex with her. And she counted this, yeah, in her inebriated state, as a win and liked the feeling of being sexy and desired and wanted. It happens. Sorry, it does. And that's why she kept saying yes. 

Why do we have to go right to she's a victim? Even she took weeks to get there. It wasn't until they told her she couldn't go to the party. We all know that. Right? This is so disempowering to all of womankind, to all of us, to our daughters. We are capable of making decisions. She made the decision to drink and then show up at a fraternity house at 11 o'clock.
