#BradLander, the #NYC #comptroller who is running for #mayor, was arrested on Tues by federal agents at an #immigration court in Lower Manhattan.

Lander, a #Democrat, was at the city’s main immigration #courthouse, at 26 Federal Plaza, to observe court proceedings where an increasing number of #immigrants who appear for court have been arrested by #ICE agents in recent weeks.

So, these "experts": do they understand that #POTUS doesn't have the power to legislate? I mean, sure, #Trump is signing EOs like they're going out of style, but that doesn't actually mean that POTUS can unilaterally — especially not durably — mandate anything? I mean, since Trump took office, part of #Miller's his subversion of the #EO process has been his not-infrequent, "here's an EO to kill my predecessor's EO that I don't like".

At any rate, only
#Congress can pass durable mandates (and, even then, only if #SCOTUS is ok not declaring such policy-mandates as unconstitutional …which, at least for POTUS, several of them seem to be beyond "deferential" in their "Congress can't constrain POTUS" posture).

I'm not a
#Democrat. I'm also not a #Biden fan (or, really, any of the candidates they've run in my voting-lifetime), but, sure, let's blame the Democrat for Trump's abuses.

As #WhiteHouse chest pounds and brags about righteous mission to eradicate "#illegals" in #SoCal where approx half of all business activity is conducted by #immigrants, the threats and toxic atmosphere is emptying restaurants, and other gathering places, spreading fear as well as deeper discontent & economic #distress, as intended.

Abigail Jackson, a #DJT admin spox, said violent #protesters in #LosAngeles created an unsafe environment for local businesses. "It’s the #Democrat riots- not enforcement of federal #immigration law - that is hurting small businesses," Jackson told Reuters.

She emerged a minute later talking to Lee in an adjacent hallway. The 2 spoke for a couple of minutes before the #Minnesota #Democrat emerged.

“Let me gather myself,” #TinaSmith said as she left, declining to comment initially.

She eventually told reporters she wanted #MikeLee to hear from her directly “about how painful that was & how brutal that was to see that on what was just a horrible, brutal weekend.”

Continued thread

NYT also reviewed previously unreported emails that showed how #DOGE members used the agency for #political aims, directing Dudek to cancel important contracts in #Maine after the state’s governor, a #Democrat, clashed w/ #Trump.

This account of DOGE’s #SocialSecurity takeover is based on interviews with >70 current & fmr employees, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation, & a review of hundreds of pages of internal documents & court records.

@jrdepriest@infosec.exchange
A
#Republican (and Arnie is a Republican) can't help but blame a #Democrat for his own party's shortcomings.

Republicans have controlled all three-branches of government several times over the past decade and didn't do shit on
#immigration.

Why?

Infosec ExchangeJ. R. DePriest :verified_trans: :donor: :Moopsy: :EA DATA. SF: (@jrdepriest@infosec.exchange)[Arnold Schwarzenegger blames both Republicans and Democrats for ICE raids | CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/13/entertainment/arnold-schwarzenegger-ice-raids) > “This is the result of Democrats and Republicans not being able to come together in this immigration reform,” the actor and former politician said. “That’s what needs to be done so that you don’t have to go and start arresting people in the first place, so we know who is in this country and who is working here, who has the temporary working permit, who has the permanent working permit.” > “Those resources could be funneled to some more effective ways of handling this immigration issue that they are saying we have,” he said. “The 15 guys waiting to get a job at 5 a.m. at the Home Depot parking lot are not the ones we need to be worrying about, but that’s who’s getting scooped up.” Arnold Schwarzenegger can't be bought because he brought his own money. Probably the only honest politician who can get an interview. Too bad he refused to comment directly about the ICE Gestapo, the National Guard federal takeover, and deploying US Marines against USians on our own soil.

The shooting in #Minnesota of both #Democrat lawmakers in a "politically motivated assassination" is no surprise. It was the next escalation by the Trump/MAGA cult. #USPol

Be safe and alert out there today, #NoKings

Minnesota Rep. Hortman and husband killed, Sen. Hoffman and wife wounded in politically motivated shooting, Gov. Walz says

The shooter, dressed as a police officer, driving what appeared to be an unmarked law enforcement vehicle was found to have a hit list of other Democratic politicians in his car.
