No mention in this NYT story that DOJ only brought these charges against the ICE agent to delay MN prosecuting him and setting a precedent. Federal Prosecutors Charge ICE Agent With Lying About Minnesota Shooting www.nytimes.com/2026/09/03/u...

Federal Prosecutors Charge ICE Agent With Lying About Minnesota Shooting

The charges are a rare instance of President Trump’s Justice Department accusing a federal agent of breaking the law while on the job.

Fun fact. If you stack every dollar represented by the combined wealth of America’s ten richest people into one vertical column of one-dollar bills, it would rise about 170,000 miles (274,000 km) into space—well past Earth’s satellite orbits and most of the way to the Moon.

How can Senators Trump forced out show no courage? The weaponization fund agreement cannot be altered without Trump’s written approval. So the AG’s assurance does nothing. The waiver of tax claims against Trump does not change at all based on Blanche’s statement. www.politico.com/live-updates...

There’s been little discussion about the attack surface opened by the Trump family schemes. The focus is corruption. But surely foreign adversaries, like Iran, are probing vulnerabilities, including with cyber tools. How much of the FBI/IC provides personal protection of the Trump-Kushner empire?

Absolutely disqualifying. “Mr. Vance got to the point. They needed to invoke the Insurrection Act, swiftly, to crush the unrest in Minnesota. It would be painful in the short term, he said, but the message it would send . . . would make sure no one tried it again.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

DOJ policy under R’s and D’s was to subpoena journalists last, if absolutely necessary. Now that is the first step. As if they can’t just interview JD Vance and staff to see where these Vance face-saving leaks came from. Trump’s Complaints About Iran War Leaks Prompt Aggressive DOJ Investigations

The SCt’s decision that it is unconstitutional for states to use race in congressional districting creates a weapon to challenge all elections in states that created majority black districts or even used race in any way to ensure balance. This will cause chaos. Congress could refuse to seat winners.

First post! Cross post from an article I recently wrote for @justsecurity.org on DHS’s baseless legal rationale for entering homes with ICE administrative warrants. www.justsecurity.org/131621/ice-a...

justsecurity.org

ICE Administrative Warrants and the Fourth Amendment

DHS says ICE agents can arrest noncitizens using administrative warrants, without judicial oversight. DHS's position has no legal basis.
