A federal judge excoriated ICE over the weekend after the agency reported it expects to turn over records about potentially deploying agents at polling places next June — well past the November midterm elections.

Judge Beryl A. Howell’s order, issued on Aug. 22, found that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s report that it anticipates disclosure of the records by June 2027 to be “an unacceptable delay given the proximity of the 2026 midterm elections.”

Howell’s reprimand comes after ICE turned over 576 pages of worthless press clippings earlier this month to the Democratic National Committee, despite the party explicitly directing the government to exclude stand-alone news articles lacking commentary from officials....

Nearly 10 months after Democrats demanded records of ICE’s plans for deploying agents to polling places, the agency has turned over 576 pages of press clippings.

The batch of useless — and already easily accessible — documents produced by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the Democratic National Committee represents the agency’s efforts to comply with an order issued by Judge Beryl A Howell last month to produce 1,000 pages per month.

CNN anchor Kasie Hunt was stunned on Thursday as the Democratic Party's long-awaited report appeared to withhold a serious detail.

In her opening, Hunt questioned the Democrats' autopsy of the 2024 election and what prompted President Donald Trump to win and defeat Vice President Kamala Harris, when she raised a revelation that hadn't been mentioned before.

"Or was it because Kamala Harris then declined to sit for an interview with one of the country's biggest media figures?" Hunt asked, sharing a clip from Joe Rogan's popular podcast. ...

Senate staffers were warned on Thursday to stay away from the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C.

In an alert to Senate staff, the Capitol Police said they were "responding to an incident at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Headquarters. Staff are asked to remain clear of the police activity," according to Semafor correspondent Burgess Everett.

A spokesperson for the DNC later stated that a bomb threat was found to be not credible....

Rep. Gene Wu (D), chair of the Texas State House Democratic Caucus, joined CNN's John Berman from Chicago Monday where he fled to prevent a redistricting vote that could add as many as five Republican congressional seats to his state's political map.

Most of the defiant members have travelled to Democratic-led states, including New York and Massachusetts. The Hill reported that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) "is supporting their effort."

Gov. Greg Abbott (R) threatened to fire Democratic members if they don't return to the Texas House to reconvene by 3 p.m. Monday. ...
