A $10 million procurement reviewed by 404 Media indicates ICE is buying records related to immigrants’ tax identifiers. “It looks for all the world like Trump is trying to skirt the law and a court order to fuel his mass-deportation campaign,” Senator Ron Wyden said.
This is a big sleeper issue. Nitazenes are the next wave of the opioid crisis, and the Trump administration has been undermining and defunding the federal programs that study, prepare for and respond to emerging drug threats. I’ve been leading the charge on this to mobilize a federal response.
A drug up to 40 times more potent than fentanyl and 500 times stronger than heroin is increasingly being detected in the US. Bellingcat produced the most detailed account yet of how nitazenes are infiltrating US borders and destroying lives. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/06...
US troops are dead and gas prices are sky high. The Trump administration wants you to believe that Iran having nukes is a good thing to distract from Trump's colossal failure of a war
JD Vance comes out in support of Iran's right of self-defense and right to have ballistic missiles: "Israel doesn't give up the right of self-defense if Hezbollah fires rockets or drones at Israel. The Iranians don't give up the right of self-defense in their country."
It doesn’t matter who’s in charge. FISA 702 can’t be renewed without real reforms. Case in point: Trump’s latest nominee for director of national intelligence was peddling election conspiracies just a few days ago.
Breaking: Trump says he's nominating Jay Clayton, the current U.S. Attorney for the SDNY, to be Director of National Intelligence. Just this week on CNBC, Clayton said the "American people are right to question" California's elections. To be clear: There is no evidence of fraud in those elections.
I'll be fighting like hell between now and June 12 to ensure Congress doesn't cave and renew Section 702 of FISA without real reforms. Security and liberty aren't mutually exclusive, and it seems like Congress is finally starting to understand that.
We have never seen a coalition like the one that stood up against the plan to rubber-stamp this spying authority. Elected officials from both sides of the aisle are waking up to the fact that NO president should have this power.
Bill Pulte's appointment to be Acting DNI was the final straw. Pulte has no business overseeing a warrantless spying program for Donald Trump, Democrats understand that. That said, anyone Trump nominates to this position will likely be a disastrous steward of these powers.
An update on where things stand on FISA: Early Friday morning, we successfully defeated a bill in the Senate to rubber-stamp the Trump administration's authority to spy on Americans without a warrant. This is a big win on privacy.
SEN. WYDEN: “Trump has set the new high water mark for public corruption… everybody in 🇺🇸 is subject to IRS audit except the Trumps. I take it as an admission of his own guilt when it comes to tax cheating. Trumps have stuffed every dollar they can into their pockets.”
“Every American is subject to audit except Donald Trump and his family. I think that’s absurd.” Senator @wyden.senate.gov confronts Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Trump’s corrupt IRS deal to give his family immunity from tax audits. WATCH:
Bill Pulte appears to be unburdened by intelligence or any semblance of ethics. His appointment at ODNI is one more reason every single Democrat should vote against rubber stamping the Trump administration's FISA Section 702 spying powers.
Trump says he is appointing his ally and loyalist Bill Pulte as Acting DNI. Pulte has no national intelligence experience, but he has used his current role as head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to pursue phony mortgage fraud allegations against Trump’s political opponents.
