A remarkable undertaking from Politico

NEW: We've spent 10 months tracking the outcomes in tens of thousands of lawsuits brought by ICE detainees amid an unprecedented detention push.

It's not a cose call: judges have ruled more than 10,000 times against ICE, a 9-1 ratio.

If anyone is interested in reading more about Congressional workplace problems, I've collected my Business Insider stories on Capitol Hill staffer burnout, low pay, and other issues all in one place: https://t.co/lKVOhoUei8

[Kayla Epstein 📰 @KaylaEpstein]

Back in 2021, I did an investigative series for Business Insider about toxic workplace culture and bad bosses in Congress.

People rightly question why allegations take years to surface. But staffers told me they have no safe reporting mechanism, and speaking out ends careers

[Kayla Epstein 📰 @KaylaEpstein]

Reporting this series, I heard multiple stories from Capitol Hill staff who said they faced abusive treatment in their offices. None felt safe reporting it.

The long-standing, unspoken policy is to go work somewhere else and keep quiet if you still want a career in politics.

NEW: Pressure builds on the Supreme Court to end "emergency" wins for Trump.

A deep dive into legal fights over the administration's efforts to end protections for migrants fleeing violence and instability, and how lower courts repeatedly called out the justices for unexplained orders favoring the government last year:

I'll be in Georgia tonight as the results come in, follow along!

[Kayla Epstein 📰 @KaylaEpstein]

Today, voters in Northwest Georgia head to the polls to choose a replacement for Marjorie Taylor Greene. With 17 candidates in the race, anything could happen.
The big story to watch: Will Trump-endorsed Clay Fuller prevail, or will Republicans back a different candidate?

[Kayla Epstein 📰 @KaylaEpstein]

The large number of candidates could cause an unpredictable outcome. Republican Colton Moore, who perhaps embodies Trump's pugnacious political style more than anyone, could beat out Trump's pick. Democrat Shawn Harris hopes a splintered Republican vote might give him a shot

Experts - and US lawmakers - say that military action in Greenland is unlikely, and the White House says that diplomacy is preferred even if all options are on the table. There are, however, a variety of ways that the US could try 'take' Greenland.

My piece with @Beaking_News and @KaylaEpstein here:

Jack Smith testified to Congress behind closed doors today that his team "developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt" that Trump "engaged in a criminal scheme" to overturn the 2020 election results".

[Kayla Epstein 📰 @KaylaEpstein]

Interesting details in this Pentagon IG report on Signalgate.

For one, IG had to rely on the Atlantic articles to get a full transcript of the Signal chat because they could only partially retrieve it from Hegseth's phone

[Kayla Epstein 📰 @KaylaEpstein]

On March 25, the day after The Atlantic published its story, an account labeled "JD Vance" messaged Houthi PC small group:

"This chat's kind of dead. Anything going on?"

BREAKING: Big trouble for government in Comey case as judge zeroes in on failure to present final indictment to grand jury. Judge Nachmanoff also called Halligan to the lectern, prompting her first substantive public comments on the case. w/@kyledcheney https://t.co/ZiaFXTPG6I
