🚨This video is terrifying.

And it’s another example of how ICE is making everyone less safe.

At Las Vegas International Airport, two people, in plain clothes, are seen trying to handcuff a man.

The man is screaming for help.

When the person filming asks a TSA agent what is happening, the agent replies, “It’s law enforcement.”

But when the person filming walks over and starts recording the people claiming to be law enforcement, one of them tries to swat the phone away.

Then, as more people begin watching, they get up and leave.

The man is left with a handcuff still attached to one of his wrists. He is visibly shaken and says they stole his belongings.

Think about how dangerous this is.

The government is normalizing armed agents, in plain clothes, grabbing people in public, without immediately identifying themselves in a way bystanders can verify. That creates confusion, panic, and makes it impossible for ordinary people to know whether they’re witnessing a lawful arrest, or a kidnapping.

In this case, people intervened… They started asking questions, and filming.

If no one had stepped in, who knows what would have happened to that man.

A government that expects people to simply accept unidentified agents, taking someone away without question, is making every person in this country less safe.

Oyer: "I had great hope Blanche would be an effective leader and responsible steward of the DOJ, but he quickly proved me wrong. Two days after Blanche was confirmed as deputy AG, he fired me from my position as DOJ's career pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a political favor for a friend of the president, and it cost me my job. Mr Blanche's office had asked me to restore the gun rights of a convicted domestic abuser ... I was shocked to hear Blanche's testimony about this yesterday. What he said about my firing is provably false."

"It is an old trick. When men abuse or attack women, society responds by restricting women. Don’t wear that skirt. Don’t walk home alone. Don’t leave your drink unattended.

"Now it’s: Don’t allow abortion pills to be mailed because a man might use them to commit a crime."

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis won’t vote for Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s nomination to move forward unless Blanche meets with victims of Jeffrey Epstein, Tillis said. It comes after Blanche claimed to lawmakers Wednesday he would meet with Epstein victims “today” if he could—but one of those victims testified Thursday he’s never made an effort to reach out.

Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"

@SteveRattner What ever happened to the fiscal conservatives in the GOP? Oh, I forgot they are all a bunch of Trump ass lickers.

Under Trump, U.S. federal debt has surpassed 100% of GDP for the first time since WWII.

And it's on track to beat that all-time record by 2030.

[Lily @Lilly21762]

@kaitlancollins Why did Trump win in 2024? Why are the elections corrupt unless Trump and his goons win? GOP has the Senate, Congress, White House, Supreme Court. Elections just corrupt when it suits Trump.

Moynihan: I know you're trying to get a social media clip but I’m not here to answer to you.

Blow: I really appreciate you lecturing me about what I'm here to do, because I'm here because Abby show invited me here, and I have been in journalism for a very long time. In fact, I came to the New York Times when the year that you were born. So I suggest that you choose a lane that is your own and stay in it. And don't lecture me because I won't be lectured by a child.

The networks should not air Trump’s planned speech on his election lies to the nation tonight. He has never proven any of his nutty conspiracy theories about our elections. Trump lost the 2020 election. That is the truth and always will be. Don’t give in to the lies.

BREAKING: Iranian officials privately warned Vice President JD Vance that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were allegedly exploiting U.S.-Iran negotiations for financial gain, according to a new report from Drop Site News.

A senior Iranian official told the outlet the message was delivered directly to Vance. The Trump administration denies the allegation and says no such communication ever occurred.

BOOKER: Were you involved in Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer for a minimum security orison camp?

BLANCHE: We learned she was received threats

BOOKER: When people are under threats in the Bureau of Prisons facility, they are not moved to a camp

[Home of the Brave @OfTheBraveUSA]

Sen. Booker: "I was stunned earlier by your conversation with one of my colleagues that you wouldn't even commit to meeting with the survivors, but you did meet with Ghislaine Maxwell. Your claim that you can't meet with these victims because they're represented by counsel is utter nonsense…But you're a lawyer. You know this. That was not truthful."
