There should be bipartisan concern about the reports that DOGE is merging HHS, Social Security, and IRS data into one database. That is the trifecta of personal information, and any competent person (or machine) could essentially put together a complete profile of your life.

New reports of masked ICE & ATF officers conducting immigration enforcement in DC today. I remain deeply concerned about the trend of agents refusing to show their faces and at times even refusing to say which agency they belong to.

I’m going to remind folks often of the pretend lawyers who work in the firms that folded to an unconstitutional threat from Trump: Skadden; Paul Weiss; Milbank; Willkie Farr & Gallagher; Kirkland & Ellis; A&O Shearman; Simpson Thacher & Bartlett; Latham & Watkins; and Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft.

For 66 days the Netanyahu government has blocked ALL food and aid from going into Gaza. Now we're told it plans to seize and reoccupy huge parts of Gaza, as it pushes for Trump's plan to force 2 million Palestinians to leave. That would be ethnic cleansing by another name. We can’t stand for it.

The Trump administration is carrying out a large-scale operation across the DC area targeting restaurants, clearly trying to round up people for working under the table without papers. Not gang members. Not felons. Not criminals. Dishwashers. Busboys. Cooks. Waiters.

Watch this one. At first, GOP Senators were willing to confirm Trump's wildly inappropriate cabinet picks...but with his honeymoon ended, they may no longer be as willing to go along. Could matter even more if he starts sending up low-credential, high-loyalty judges.
