One wonders what Trump knows about an upcoming Iranian attack in the US.

When shown the Presidential Daily Briefing, National Security Advisor Condoleez Rice testified in Congress: "Nobody could know .... OK nobody knew he'd attack in the US ... OK nobody knew he'd use planes ... OK we knew all that, we just didn't know the day."

Behind the scenes, government lawyers struggled to make sense of how to proceed given their vague instructions. Over the next day, his account states, “it became clear to Mr. Reuveni” that the Departments of #State & #HomelandSecurity “were receiving contrary directions from someone else to take actions in violation of court orders.”

That answer, according to Reuveni’s account, was false. “Ensign had been present in the previous day’s meeting when #EmilBove stated clearly that one or more planes containing individuals subject to the #AEA would be taking off over the weekend no matter what,” the account states.

While Ensign represented the government in court, Reuveni listened by phone, sending updates to lawyers at the Departments of #State & #HomelandSecurity.

Whoo, Judge Breyer was on fire:

At this early stage of the proceedings, the Court must determine whether the
President followed the congressionally mandated procedure for his actions. He did not.
His actions were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating
the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control
of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.

This Instagram reel shows them leaving when they realize the #LAPD are on the way, note that they are not wearing insignia, the license plates have been removed from the unmarked cars, they refused to identify themselves or provide a warrant. The woman holding the toddler is the mother who was the passenger when the car was rammed.

As protests over immigration enforcement erupt in cities across the U.S., House Republicans push forward a sweeping Homeland Security funding bill that expands deportation powers, slashes oversight, and introduces a controversial religious exemption.

We are helping the government to identify people who were in the protest. We are currently helping identify people who want to protest. We are currently helping government agents know where and when protest may happen.

Cool cool. Not weird at all. 👀

"The #FBI and US Department of #HomelandSecurity warn of an elevated threat level to #Jewish and #Israeli targets, following a string of attacks.

The announcement says it comes in response to the #firebombing of a #hostages rally in Colorado this week, and the #killing of two Israeli #embassy staffers in Washington last month. Both attackers cited the #Gaza #war as their motivation, according to investigators.

An #arsonist also targeted the home of Jewish Pennsylvania Governor #JoshShapiro in April due to the war."
