Rep. Robert Garcia demands accountability for alleged ICE and DHS abuses, declaring that “ICE must be abolished” as he outlines House Oversight Democrats’ investigative agenda.

As Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown intensifies, Garcia warns that ICE and DHS will face major scrutiny if Democrats regain control of the House.
The Trump administration tries to remodel a historic golf course without proper permission. And other examples of the White House sidestepping due process.
this episode:
President Trump is trying to renovate the East Potomac Golf Links in Washington D.C. without proper judicial approval, the latest of many examples of this administration evading due process. Mary poses a question: “If this kind of thing can happen about a golf course, what’s the next time?”
The DOJ sues California to block more than 20,000 mail ballots, alleging the voters are likely noncitizens. “If you do not see this as a precursor to what the Department of Justice could easily do – or try to do” ahead of the midterms, says Andrew, “you are living with your head buried in the sand.”
Andrew and Mary discuss updates in the investigation into Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, and how this situation is yet another example of the government undermining due process – in this case, that of a sitting congresswoman actively up for reelection.
Plus, a judge issues an injunction securing CNN, MS NOW and Politico’s White House access until the case is settled in court, a win against Trump’s political retaliation.

BOMBSHELL Report Leaves Trump White House RUNNING…
Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian dig into Wall Street Journal reporting that Kimberly Guilfoyle, the former Fox News host and President Trump’s ambassador to Greece, allegedly asked Trump donor Eric Deters, a Kentucky businessman and suspended attorney, to wire $100,000 to her American Express account shortly before her Senate confirmation hearing while offering to help him reach senior administration officials. According to Signal messages the Journal reviewed, she allegedly urged him not to put anything in writing, and she reportedly offered to lobby the Justice Department, the IRS and others on his behalf, including a pitch for a Tucker Carlson interview that Carlson says he knew nothing about. Deters says he never paid and is now speaking publicly. The hosts also cover a second Journal report built around a recording from the January 2026 Davos forum, in which Guilfoyle allegedly lashes out after being left off the guest list for a Greek House dinner honoring Eric Trump, says she can “deliver the world,” and cites wealthy Greek businessmen
she says are funding her private jet travel and a Paris hotel stay. Brian and Shant stress that these are allegations. Her lawyer, Jesse Binnall, disputes the authenticity of the messages and says Deters owes her money, the embassy calls the claims unsubstantiated, and the State Department’s inspector general is reportedly looking into her conduct.
President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are reportedly weighing whether to remove her, and Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso expects oversight. Brian’s bottom line: these are allegations, not findings, but a sitting ambassador reportedly asking a donor to cover a six-figure credit card bill while offering access deserves a real, independent investigation.

‘Old Men Clinging To Power’: Obama Delivers Blunt Message To Global Leaders WORLD NEWS
Barack Obama delivers a forceful warning over press freedom, free speech, and the future of American democracy as he criticizes the Trump administration’s treatment of the media.
Obama argues that restricting journalists or choosing which outlets can cover the president threatens fundamental democratic principles protected by the First Amendment.
In his pointed remarks, Obama praises broadcast networks for standing together against restrictions on press access, arguing that defending a free press should never become a partisan issue. He also reflects on what he describes as a lack of solidarity when universities and law firms faced pressure, warning that core democratic ideals must be defended collectively.
The former president goes further, predicting that the courts will struggle to uphold a ban restricting media access, describing the constitutional issues as textbook.
His message is clear: press freedom must be protected regardless of which political party holds power. If Republicans oppose restrictions on media outlets under a Democratic president, Obama argues, they must uphold the same principles under Trump.
Is this a defining battle for the First Amendment-or another flashpoint in America’s deepening political divide?
