If folks haven’t yet watched the Oscar-nominated documentary “The Alabama Solution,” it delves quite a bit into this, as well. It’s a deeply harrowing, moving film that I can’t recommend highly enough.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

PAT RYAN: 'Does the US want to be the policeman of the Middle East getting nothing but spending precious lives & trillions.' Rng a bell?
COLBY: Defer to you
R: That was Trump. How about this - 'we simply cannot afford to get enmeshed in a Middle East war'
C: Defer to you
R: That was actually you
Why it matters: The episode illustrates the confusion that gripped the administration after the Saturday shooting death of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. And it shows the influence of Miller, Trump's close and longest-serving political adviser whose dominion in the White House far exceeds his title. Miller's power extends to de facto oversight of Noem, though she's a Cabinet secretary who technically outranks him. "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen," Noem told a person who relayed her remarks to Axios.
In undoubtedly related news, Noem disavowed this statement on Tuesday, which I love for Marc Caputo.

About the $200M propaganda grift that Kristi Noem claimed Trump approved, which may be his excuse to fire her:
1) Is he lying to avoid being implicated in someone ELSE's corruption?
2) Is she lying?
3) Did Stephen Miller approve it?

Lauri Myllyvirta: It's crazy how reliant the world's entire energy system is on one body of water, the Strait of Hormuz, just 20 nautical miles across at its narrowest, and situated in one of the most volatile regions on Earth. Here are the countries most dependent on oil&gas through the strait.
Natasha Bertrand: Trump admin officials acknowledged during a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill Tuesday that Iran’s Shahed attack drones represent a major challenge and US air defenses will not be able to intercept them all. The drones are posing a bigger problem than anticipated, Hegseth said.
Stories about the illegality of the Iran War under both international law and the US Constitution and War Powers Act have featured on the front pages of Süddeutsche Zeitung, El País, Le Monde and papers all around the world. Not, however, in major US papers. Something is seriously wrong.
JUST IN: Trump DOJ proposes surprise rule aiming to let Attorney General Pam Bondi suspend state bar investigations into alleged misconduct by DOJ lawyers. Very unclear if there'd be legal authority for the AG to intervene in this manner.

You forgot to mention that Donald Trump Jr. is an adviser to both PolyMarket and Kalshi. Seems extremely relevant both to the potential insider trading and the lack of effective regulation.
We Have Always Been At War With Eastasia
The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE.
Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009.
A quick thread:
I am back in D.C. to hear from cruel Kristi Noem on why she is complicit in the chaos happening at DHS, vote on a War Powers Resolution to rein Donald Trump in, and vote against a DHS funding bill that does nothing to address the reckless actions we’re seeing from ICE.
The work continues.
This is how it's done. Let's fucking go.

Ansari: "The DOJ was caught red handed withholding explosive and credible FBI witness interviews of a woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor. Shouldn't we hold hearings on that? Shouldn't Pam Bondi be here, forced to testify about why she's violating the law?"
BREAKING: DOJ doesn’t want ethical standards to apply to their employees

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday. Damas came to the US from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custody—the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Center—he died from complications from a tooth infection, according to ICE. A tooth infection. He's death number nine.
NEW: In an effort to evade bar ethics investigations, the DOJ proposed a new rule seeking to suspend state ethics proceedings against its attorneys if it conducts its own review first.
One expert called the department's proposal an attempt “to avoid oversight…for their lawlessness.”
It seems like Republicans are really not very good at identifying bad guys.
Hoping you won't notice between bombing runs.
Many people talking about how gasoline prices at the pump have already jumped. But what should really terrify Republicans is RBOB — the futures price on wholesale gasoline. This is up 75 cents a gallon since its low earlier this year.
