Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

Punchbowl confirms what I suspected in a post last night. Thune reached a deal with Dems to fund DHS except for ICE and Trump rejected it. DONALD TRUMP is to blame for airport chaos - not Democrats.

VANCE ON SUPREME COURT TARIFF RULING: CALLS IT “LAWLESSNESS FROM THE COURT, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.”

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

It's not a new observation, but I'm always struck listening to Trump cry and whine about how he's the victim, bitch and moan about how mean and unfair everyone is to him, brag endlessly about how great he is and how unfair it all is, to remember that his cult thinks he's the Peak Alpha Male

House Oversight hearing on ICE opens with the rules: "It is also a clear violation of the rules of the House to make statements that might personally be offensive to the President or the Vice President of the United States."

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Just to reinforce: The material was seized not by claiming the election was stolen but that ballots were mishandled, which may have been criminal. It's an end run, like saying that there's a national emergency that demands a tariff in response. It's an abuse of power, given the obvious intent here.

It rehashes debunked arguments about impropriety in order to establish a predicate for seizing election material — on the basis that mistakes that occurred might have been intentional and therefore criminal. It's all transparently contrived. 2/2

So a Trump attorney that aided his 2020 campaign (and wrote a memo encouraging Pence to skip counting electoral votes) was given an "election integrity" job in the administration, where he made a referral to investigate Fulton County. 1/2

BREAKING: The supporting affidavit for the warrant to search Fulton County election records has been unsealed. Read it via @lawfaremedia.org: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

The allegations in the affidavit have been disproved by state audits. In fact, the document quotes from a Fulton County review that concluded it did not find "evidence of fraud, intentional misconduct, or large systematic issues that would have affected the result of the November 2020 election."

Former Trump campaign lawyer Kurt Olsen, who played a key role in the president's effort to overturn the 2020 election, initiated the investigation. Also named in the document was Clay Parikh, an election denier and cybersecurity specialist linked to prominent conspiracy theorists.

So he did post it

Q: A number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do? Trump: No, I didn't make a mistake. It was fine. I guess it was a takeoff from The Lion King. And certainly it was a very strong post
