U.S. citizens who have had violent encounters with federal immigration agents deployed in cities across the U.S. testified before Congress on Tuesday. Amid harrowing testimony by three victims and the brothers of Renee Good, congressional Democrats offered apologies and promises of accountability. Not a single Republican lawmaker showed up to the hearing.
Renee Good's brothers Brent and Luke Ganger both testified at the hearing, with Brent Ganger calling Good "unapologetically hopeful."
Marimar Martinez was shot multiple times by Border Patrol agents. "The mental scars will always be there as a reminder of the time my own government attempted to execute me — and when they failed, they chose to vilify me," Martinez said.
Daniel Rascon described how federal immigration agents pointed rifles at him and shot at his car. "They shattered the windows, and in that moment the whole world felt like it was the size of the inside of our pickup, and we were sitting in harm's way with nothing to do but record the horrifying experience," he said.
Aliya Rahman was stopped by federal agents and violently pulled from her vehicle — despite telling the agents that she is disabled and has a traumatic brain injury. "I now cannot lift my arms normally," said Rahman. "I was never asked for ID, never told I was under arrest, never read my rights and never charged with a crime."

President Donald Trump has called to "nationalize" voting in the United States, alarming state leaders who oversee the process, as well as legal experts who say his takeover demand violates the Constitution. This comes as he continues to falsely claim he won the 2020 election, with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard overseeing an FBI raid last week to seize ballot boxes and other voting records in Fulton County, Georgia.
Gabbard, as spy chief, "has no statutory authority to be involved in a domestic election investigation," says David Becker, director of the Center for Election Innovation & Research. He says that since the failed effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election, "an ecosystem of grift" has grown around Trump that profits from continuing to spread election denial even as courts have repeatedly thrown out their claims.

The book Firestorm: The Great Los Angeles Fires and America's New Age of Disaster provides a detailed look at how the fires unfolded, the emergency efforts and the political response. Soboroff, who grew up in the area, describes seeing the charred remains of his own childhood home while misinformation from Donald Trump, Elon Musk and other powerful figures was "pouring rhetorical fuel on the flames of the very real fire."

 Jared Siskin/Patrick McMullan via GettyBillionaire Bill Ackman spent days after the ABC presidential debate promoting false claims that a network "whistleblower" had allegedly uncovered collusion between ABC and Kamala Harris' campaign. Now, a month and multiple denials later, he sees the claims differently.
"It seems pretty clear that the alleged @abc whistleblower debate story claiming that @KamalaHarris was given questions in advance and other advantages was a fake," Ackman posted on X alongside a blog post by Megyn Kelly discussing the dubious claims.
What Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, did not acknowledge, however, is that he was one of falsehood's early boosters. After an X account named "Black Insurrectionist" claimed it had been in touch with a whistleblower who alleged the Harris campaign had been given debate topics ahead of the showdown with Donald Trump and had demanded Trump—and Trump alone—be fact-checked.
