We can secure the border and treat people humanely at the same time. I have always believed that, and I still do. Rounding up people who are contributing positively just to fill beds does neither. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Federal figures show the detained population with convictions has barely moved in a year, while arrests of people whose only alleged offense is a civil immigration violation keep climbing. Stephen Miller set the quota, and agents are sweeping up hardworking people to hit it.

For months the White House has sold its immigration crackdown as a crime and safety measure. Their own data says otherwise. In June 2026, ICE booked 43,138 people into detention, a record for this administration. The fastest-growing group was immigrants with no criminal record at all.

This is a man who still lies that he won in 2020, who sent a mob to the Capitol to overturn an election he lost, and who now floats staying in power past the two terms the Constitution allows. There is no third term. There is the Constitution, and there is the door.

Politics, and nothing else. The Energy Department’s own lawyers conceded not one of those grants was cut for any programmatic, statutory, or performance reason. Wright said the same thing under oath to the Senate and the Science Committee.

The Trump administration has now admitted in its own court filings that it terminated nearly 300 energy grants “based solely” on the political identity of the recipient’s state, whether it voted for Kamala Harris and had two Democratic senators.

They punished American scientists for their zip codes and then lied to Congress about it. We will not forget this. www.latimes.com/business/sto...

He told a similar story to the Science Committee in June. His attorneys, under oath and under court order, said the opposite. Twice before, federal judges ordered these grants restored after the Department made the same confession.

The Department conceded it did not rely on “programmatic, statutory, cost-reduction, or performance-based factors.” Grants in red states doing identical work were left untouched. This is not a one-time slip by Wright, who told CNN last October the decisions were “all based on facts.”

In a July court filing, the Department of Energy admitted that 283 grants were canceled “solely” based on whether the recipient sat in a state that voted for Kamala Harris and elected two Democratic senators.

He looked me in the eye and called it “a timing question, not a decision question.” He said “the decisions were nonpolitical.” That was not true. And now his own lawyers have admitted it.

On April 17, I sat across from Energy Secretary Chris Wright in an Appropriations hearing and asked a simple question about why his grant terminations landed almost entirely in blue states.

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

In an Appropriations Committee hearing earlier this year, I questioned Energy Secretary Chris Wright about the billions his department canceled in clean energy grants. He looked me in the eye and told me the decisions were made on the merits and had nothing to do with politics. That was a lie.

You cannot withhold funds Congress appropriated as a weapon to punish states for how they voted. It is an abuse of power, plain and simple, and the people who lied to Congress about it need to answer for it. I am not letting this go. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

Every version was false, and now his own attorneys have said so in writing. This is illegal.
