Walz: "I will continue to press that we be part of the investigation, that we do the investigation, so that Minnesotans can trust what the outcome is ... very very difficult to Minnesotas to think in any way this is going to be fair when Kristi Noem was judge, jury, and executioner yesterday."

β€˜Slush fund’: Democrats push back against Trump’s plan to control Venezuelan oil sales The president said he’d create a pool of money from Venezuelan oil sales. Democrats said that can’t legally happen.

Legal: Congress has what’s known as β€œthe power of the purse.”

Illegal: When Trump says, β€œI’ve decided to create my own purse.”

U.S. military members fear personal legal blowback tied to boat strikes Staff officers and at least one drone pilot have sought advice from outside groups over legal concerns about their own involvement β€” or potential involvement β€” in the strikes against suspected drug bo...

As there has been no legal declaration or war and the accusation of drug smuggling and intervention is not a military responsibility these deaths by the military fall under the category of possible murder. A planned murder is murder in the 1st degree.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

Got a Minute or Two?: The Attack in Chicago The night-time raid on a Chicago apartment building and its residents is an ugly escalation by an immoral regimeβ€”and an attack on all decent people

Sen. Warren illustrates the way public figures should answer.

Dokoupil illustrates the way journalists should *not* handle both-sides-ing, "how will it play," reluctance to call out lies, etc.

Class action lawsuit challenges Trump-Vance administration’s unlawful β€œNational Data Banks” - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington The Trump-Vance administration’s creation of massive government databases consolidating legally protected personal information is unlawful.

NEW: We just filed a class-action lawsuit against the Trump administration for its creation of massive secret databases of millions of Americans' personal information, violating the Privacy Act.

This illegal overreach is unacceptable.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

This was always the plan.

Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

Troops to Portland? Illegal and absurd. But the absurdity is the point. Trump policy is to ignore real threats to US security coming from abroad and use the armed forces to pursue imaginary threats from within, thereby creating an atmosphere suitable for personal rule. (1/2)
