After getting a tongue-lashing from a Democratic lawmaker on Tuesday, the acting director of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency made no effort to endorse the stewardship of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem when given an opportunity.

Tim Kennedy (D-NY) about the deaths of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti at the hands of DHS agents, which then led the Democratic lawmaker to state, “In America, we shouldn't have secret police. We shouldn't have masked government agents executing citizens in the streets. The Constitution does not give your agency the right to hide their faces while they kill Americans.”

CNN's Harry Enten was gobsmacked by "bonkers" findings in new polls on President Donald Trump and the job market.

An animated Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) took to the House floor Tuesday to publicly reveal the names of six “powerful men” alleged to be co-conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein, reading their names as a matter of public record.

“There were six wealthy, powerful men that the DOJ hid for no apparent reason!” said Khanna, who alongside Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) had filed the bill that ultimately forced the DOJ to release its files on Epstein. “When Congressman Massie and I pointed this out to the DOJ, they acknowledged their mistake, and now they have revealed the identity of these six powerful men.”
