Admission of breach: The White House has officially removed the Budapest Memorandum from its website. Are America's allies watching? America can not be trusted to honor it's agreements, and we should all look to develop a domestic nuclear arsenal for our security instead.

I get a lot of comments saying I should go to Gaza and not report on Ukraine. If you’re one of those couch commentators then I implore you to do it yourself. Book a flight and go. 99% of war correspondent are now focused on the Middle East and Ukraine doesn’t get nearly enough

Russ Vought keeps threatening "pocket rescissions”—an illegal scheme to withhold funds approved by Congress. Rs in Congress might as well tear up Article 1 & go home if they don't fight back, but they can’t claim surprise. Here's Vought telling me he's willing to break the law:

Dear Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries Law enforcement is required to give their name/badge number. Why is there a different standard for ICE? Congress has the right to check all of these facilities. DHS is denying that right and you two are not doing anything to stop this.

🚨 Sergio Gor, Director of White House Presidential Personnel Office, is using legal intimidation to demand that we remove references to news articles questioning his background. FIGHT! Donate to our Legal Defense Fund ➡️ gofund.me/c1b40e01

THE FINAL SCORE, Don Winslow: The best crime fiction I've read in twenty years. You'd think Winslow was mobbed up--it's that good. Bookstores in September.

DHS originally claimed he punched an agent. When video disproved that they went with a different charge. The agents are liars. Shouldn’t we know their names?
