Michigan's new Republican Senate nominee wrote an op-ed condemning Trump's attempt to overturn 2020. Five years later he claims a van in Detroit stole his own election — and can't produce any evidence.
A Wall Street Journal investigation found ICE is paying contractors millions to scan social media around the clock, then using subpoenas to unmask Americans who criticize the agency. Nobody has been charged. That may be the point.
