Watching Katie Zacharia repeat the Trump Admin’s blatant lies without the usual shameless confidence we’re used to is jarring. Shows you how much of this administration’s unreality is being upheld by pure dishonest bravado. The lies fall even flatter without it.

This is so basic. It is not USPS' job to decide whether ballots are eligible or not. That's the job of the state election officials. USPS' job is simply to ensure that the ballots get from election officials to the voters and then from the voters back to election officials. That's it.

A new granite walkway. Refinishing the wall to glue those hideous gold accents. Trump claimed he was paying for all of it. He lied. They’ve been looting the National Parks.
THE PATHWAY THAT CONNECTS the
White House residence to the
Oval Office has long been paved in Tennessee flagstone. Every president since
Harry Truman made the 45-second commute, and made it without complaint, until Donald Trump. The dun rock would not do. Instead, Trump wanted polished African granite, carved in Italy, with a flamed-finish stripe-slightly raised, to prevent slips—running down the middle. As workers tore up the flagstone last March, a reporter asked Trump who was paying for the enhancements. "Paid for by me," he replied.But that wasn't true. Budget documents from the National Park Service that I obtained show that the walkway replacement cost taxpayers $689,232, and is part of a $1.3 million project that included repairing adjacent stone and masonry and providing new hardware for nearby doors. A year earlier, in a separate
"Rush project at request of POTUS," the Park Service spent $347,503 to remove and replace the stucco on the colonnade wall, a project that cleared the way for Trump to affix gold frames and plaques mocking some of his predecessors.

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...
On January 10, 2026, while driving back to work after getting lunch with his father
and cousin, a car quickly passed O., sped up, then stopped in front of him. (Id. ¶ 3.) A
few men in civilian clothes stepped out of the car and asked for his identification. (Id.)
The men threatened O.—if he did not get out of the car, they would force him out. (Id.)
O. exited the car and was told he was under arrest. (Id.) The men handcuffed him and did
not allow him to bring his phone. (Id.) O. felt like he was being kidnapped. (Id.)
The men detained O., his father, and his cousin, taking them all to Whipple. (Id.
¶ 4.) At Whipple, there was “food scattered on the floor, the floor was sticky with mud,
and everything stuck to your shoes.” (Id. ¶ 5.) The space was so cramped that sometimes
there was no space to sit on the floor. (Id.)

This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights. When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.
A chart from ICE Flight Monitor showing that while ICE deportations went up 44% yoy, domestic shuffle ICE flights went up 123%.
