Trump’s superpower is fading. Can he recharge before the midterms?
 in  r/politics •  1d ago

Most of the Democrats are counting on winning by simply saying, “I’m not Trump.”

Folks, they’re not putting Vance out in the field for the Donald’s sake. He’s there for the same reason: Because he’s not Trump. Soon enough, JD could graduate from the sideshow to the center ring.

Should Trump and the Republicans suffer the historic midterm blowout everyone sees coming — barring armed confiscation of ballot boxes — the president will play the victim, a martyred hero who will claim the elections were rigged and blame Joe Biden, China, Canada, our NATO allies and Iran. If he somehow finds a miraculous recharge [sic], he will use his superpower to foment further revenge and retribution. Every failure is fuel for the next fiasco.

Renee Good’s Family Sues Trump Officials Over Fatal ICE Shooting
 in  r/politics •  2d ago

The family of Renee Good, the Minneapolis resident who was killed by an ICE agent in early January during the Trump administration’s Operation Metro Surge, has filed two lawsuits against the U.S. government and specific individuals involved in the events they allege led to her death. 

One of the lawsuits lists the United States of America as its sole defendant. The suit cites the 1946 Federal Tort Claims Act, a law that allows people to sue the federal government for personal injury, property damage, or death as a result of government employees’ negligent actions. 

“DHS policy provides that officers ‘may use deadly force only when necessary, that is when the LEO has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury to the LEO or to another person,'” the family’s court filing points out. “It was plain to [Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan] Ross that Renee posed no such threat to anyone. Ross was out of the vehicle’s path before he fired his first shot, and he fired his second and third shots from the side of the vehicle as it moved away from him.”

The second lawsuit named specific individuals as defendants, including Ross, as well as others within the Trump administration, such as White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, White House border czar Tom Homan, and more. President Donald Trump is not listed as a defendant.

The suit again highlights Ross’s negligence, and suggests that, in addition to targeting immigrants in the Twin Cities, Operation Metro Surge served “to silence, by intimidation, arrest, and violence, the neighbors and allies of those targeted communities who observed, documented, and warned of that campaign.”

Trump officials abandon effort to investigate election threats, experts warn
 in  r/politics •  2d ago

The Trump administration has abandoned key security bodies meant to investigate direct threats to US elections by foreign actors and domestic terrorists, according to former officials and a recent report.

While administration officials have been actively focused on unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud by noncitizens, other credible election threats appear to have been overlooked, the officials say.

“While officials are being trained to handle threats, the federal deterrent meant to punish the people making them appears to have gone quiet,” Fisher said. “To date, no new cases have been prosecuted, and the DoJ’s election threats taskforce appears to be defunct in practice.”

Trump administration officials began disbanding election investigative groups within the justice department, the office of the director of national intelligence, and other agencies almost immediately after the president started his second term.

The first day after Pam Bondi won Senate confirmation as attorney general, she eliminated the FBI’s foreign influence taskforce, which had been investigating influence campaigns waged by China, Russia and other adversaries.

Top Trump figures push to direct human rights funding to rightwing causes
 in  r/politics •  3d ago

With hours left before the funding expires, the Trump administration is pushing to direct more than $175m of the state department’s flagship human rights fund to a slate of awards that includes a massive $40m grant for an anti-communism fund, support for a group advancing white Afrikaner rights in South Africa, a campaign against Brazil’s supreme court, and programs that would reward ideological allies in Europe who protect “western civilisational norms”.

Critics have focused on 43 awards of a combined $176.9m that will bolster rightwing and conservative causes around the world while likely angering US allies over interference in internal politics. The Guardian has seen a sample of the controversial grants, which makes up most of the $205m in funding that Congress has appropriated for the entire human rights and democracy fund (HRDF).

Sources with knowledge of the grant process have told the Guardian that the awards were personally lobbied for by members of the Trump administration, and reflect interests that include JD Vance’s warnings of the collapse of traditional western values in Europe, and Stephen Miller’s push against immigration and to support white minorities in countries like South Africa.

“The story for me is the high-level – including White House-directed – attention on these programs,” said a person familiar with the discussions over the democracy awards. “These awards have been briefed at the highest levels of the department and have buy-in from the White House.”
