Oyer: "2 days after Blanche was confirmed as deputy AG, he fired me from my position as DOJ's career pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a favor for a friend of the president, and it cost me my job. Mr Blanche's office had asked me to restore the gun rights of a convicted domestic abuser..."

The news is always "This absolute fool was dismantled in hearings today. He is manifestly unqualified for the position and would be an existential danger if confirmed. Disaster. He is set to be confirmed immediately." When you ask why everyone is furious and exhausted all the time, this is why.

Nancy Lacore spent 30+ years in the Navy, rising from pilot to vice admiral, leading the Navy Reserve. Last summer, Hegseth and his team kicked her out—no explanation, just a purge. It stung. But instead of fading into the background, she turned that fire into fuel.

📌 US citizen Dayanne Figueroa was going to work in Chicago last October when an unmarked vehicle collided with her car. Masked men jumped out of the vehicle, guns drawn & dragged her from the car by her legs. She was thrown into a minivan, taken away & held by ICE despite 2 recent kidney surgeries.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR. I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol. They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

Isn't this taking away a legitimate housing benefit from folks who needed it and splitting up and distributing that pot of money to everyone regardless of need? Seems like the original recipients are getting shafted in this sham to make Trump look benevolent.

A friendly reminder: US billionaires have gained $968 billion in wealth so far this year—that’s 30X the annual cost of ACA subsidies Congress is fighting over in the shutdown talks. That $968B is enough to send every single US household a $7,300 check.

It is reported that two other US citizens were detained for attempting to help her after ICE Trump regime forces dragged her into an alleyway. Activists call for more help, protests, coverage, and an investigation.
