Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.

The Tennessee Holler

MAINE: “He was asking me to lie for him… she said he was abusive…” The killer ICE agent’s ex-wife had reported him to his military superiors. TLDR: ICE is hiring the worst of the worst- the LAST people who should be in law enforcement.

The federal immigration agent who shot and killed a 26-year-old Colombian man in Biddeford has been identified as David Michael Brouillette. Brouillette, who is 37 and lives in Manchester, was identified by an ex-wife as the ICE agent who shot Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.

Months after FCC Commissioner Olivia Trusty cast a decisive vote approving Paramount’s historic $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, she and a guest accepted Kennedy Center gala tickets from the company worth more than $12,000.

Rachel Maddow

"The other commissioner who approved the Paramount merger, FCC Chair Brendan Carr, and his wife sat in a private skybox with Paramount CEO David Ellison and other executives from Paramount and CBS. Such seats sold for $125,000 a ticket..."

Norm Eisen

Per @propublica.org reporting, FCC Chair Carr took $63k+ in gala tickets from Paramount while its billion-dollar deals sat before his agency @democracydefendersfund.org's Virginia Canter calls the alleged conflict "shocking" You can't referee a game you've been wined & dined by -TN

On Tuesday, a New Jersey town pulled $91M out of Citizens Bank over its business with ICE prison contractors GEO Group and CoreCivic. Yesterday, Citizens announced it was ending its relationships with GEO and CoreCivic. Money managers should DIVEST from $GEO $CXW

💙💙💙NJ Town pulled $91 Million from Citizens Bank ➡️because they fund ICE Detention Centers (aka Camps) Great job for taking a stand against the inhumanity 👏👏

I love Montclair! Bravo!!! N.J. town pulls $91M from Citizens Bank over ICE detention financing

“‘That is RIDICULOUS,’ one person with knowledge of the planned golf trip said in a message. ‘Pence and Harris never pulled anything like that.’”

There's nothing more populist and middle America than -- checks notes -- getting one's son to a golf lesson on a military helicopter.

J.D. Vance using a military chopper to send his son to golf lessons is very on brand.

BREAKING NYT: Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the FBI would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents — cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute DHS agents implicated in violent encounters.

The Tennessee Holler

ICE is officially lawless. Racist thugs with a license to kill and the full backing of the American government.

Senator Patty Murray

ICE murdered two people in broad daylight within a week. And now, the FBI is promising LESS accountability. DHS agents need to be reined in—NOT given total impunity. The American people deserve answers. And ICE NEEDS accountability and oversight, ASAP.

Governor Andy Beshear says he got calls from two different non-state agencies saying McConnell had died. This was before the "proof of life" photo was shared by McConnell's team.

Amee Vanderpool

Here's the way around having to pretend that Mitch McConnell is not dead, if that is indeed the case. We should all agree on this point: if Mitch McConnell can't be wheeled to a podium for a live press conference to speak, then he is not competent to serve.

I'm sick of this shite, put up or shut up, the clock is ticking and @govandybeshear.bsky.social is stalling on DOING anything about this. Call the bluff already instead of countering with your own. Let them prove it

Federal Court DISMISSES lawsuit to compel Connecticut to provide the DOJ its complete statewide voter registration database. DOJ is now 0-16 in cases to gain access to state voter files. Elias Law Group remains undefeated.

NYT reports the Pentagon did not disclose multiple Iranian strikes on U.S. bases in Jordan last week that reportedly injured dozens of American service members and damaged helicopters.

Aaron Rupar

"In the week leading up to the Iranian attack on Friday that killed two soldiers and left one service member missing in Jordan, Iran carried out 3 other strikes Those attacks injured dozens of service members and damaged several helicopters. But the Pentagon did not disclose the earlier strikes."

Morgan J Freeman

😱 HOLY HELL: The Pentagon just admitted that nearly 100 US troops were injured in the last two weeks alone. Why has Pete Hegseth been keeping these casualties hidden? Do their families know? And where is Trump hiding them? This is beyond F'd up. November is coming...

“The moral of the story is Stephen Miller is a terrible neighbor, on a mission to take away our first amendment rights.” From @FriendsofUSAID:

AP: “A history of terrifying & violent behavior… attacked multiple women… threw boiling water at his ex wife while she was holding her child…” The MAINE killer ICE agent is more proof ICE is hiring the worst of the worst and giving them badges & guns.

Josh Marshall

This AP investigation into David Brouillette, the ICE agent who shot Durán Guerrero in Maine is genuinely horrifying. Long history of extreme mental illness, chronic violence agst spouses and kids, PTSD and heightened violence from mil service.
