Watch now   NEWS: White House Alarm Grows as Democrats Surge in Tennessee and ICE Detains Leavitt Family Member White House alarm grows a Democrats surge in Tennessee. ICE detains Karoline Leavitt's family member. Republicans call for Steve Witkoff's firing over call with Russian aide. Aaron Parnas Nov 26 Good morning, everyone, and happy almost Thanksgiving. I hope you are getting ready for some well-earned time with family and friends. Let me know your plans in the comments. Today, I am following several major developments, including the ICE detention of a family member of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt who now faces deportation, as well as the mounting pressure on Donald Trump and Republicans ahead of next week’s high-stakes special election in Tennessee. Trump is lashing out this morning on Truth Social, calling a respected New York Times journalist an “enemy of the people,” reviving the same divisive and dangerous language that has fueled threats against reporters across the country. He can attack the press all he wants, but it will not stop real journalism from doing its job. If you value independent reporting and accountability, subscribe today and help keep a spotlight on those in power. Here’s what you missed: ICE arrested Bruna Caroline Ferreira, the Brazilian mother of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, with DHS labeling her a “criminal illegal alien,” while her attorney disputes that she has any criminal record and says she previously held DACA status and is seeking a green card; WMUR reported that Leavitt’s brother confirmed the arrest and said his 11-year-old son, who has lived with him since birth, maintains a relationship with his mother. Republican concern is growing ahead of next week’s special election in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District as Democrat Aftyn Behn gains on the Trump-backed Republican in the race. Millions of dollars have flown into the race on both sides, and the President is now publicly urging Tennessee residents to get out and vote. Democrats see even a 10 point loss as a major win in a district that voted for Trump by 22 points, and Behn’s internal polling has her down 4 points. This morning’s Emerson poll now how her down just two points: Donald Trump attacked a journalist this morning as the “enemy of the people” for writing a story about how he is losing energy: Kevin McCarthy warned that Marjorie Taylor Greene’s sudden resignation signals deeper GOP instability ahead of 2026, noting an unusually high wave of Republican retirements and highlighting Greene’s break with Trump after weeks of escalating disputes, including over the release of the Epstein files. Senate Republicans are preparing a January hearing to attack federal auto-safety mandates once seen as untouchable, planning to argue that features such as automatic emergency braking systems and rear-seat child-reminder alarms don’t deliver proven safety benefits and instead inflate vehicle costs, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Kremlin said a leaked call between top U.S. and Russian officials was meant to undermine Ukraine peace negotiations, warning that a deal is not close despite Trump’s envoy preparing to visit Moscow; meanwhile, Trump downplayed the leak, insisted there’s no deadline for his evolving peace plan, and Kyiv expressed cautious optimism even as Moscow maintained its hard-line stance, per NBC News. Multiple Republicans have called on the Trump Administration to either fire Steve Witkoff or sideline him during the negotiations including Don Bacon (R-NE) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA): Donald Trump brushed off any concerns about Witkoff’s call with the Russians just calling it part of negotiations: The Justice Department revealed that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made the final decision to continue deportation flights of alleged Venezuelan gang members despite a federal judge’s order to halt them, a move now central to potential contempt proceedings as the court presses to uncover why its instructions were ignored. I pulled the filing for you to read here. The FBI is seeking interviews with six Democratic lawmakers who appeared in a video urging military and intelligence personnel not to follow illegal orders after Trump accused them of “seditious behavior,” prompting the lawmakers to denounce the inquiry as political intimidation while legal and constitutional concerns mount over the investigation. New ICE data show a more than 2,000% surge this year in detainees with no U.S. criminal record, who now make up nearly half of the record-high 65,135 people in immigration custody, underscoring that Trump’s mass-deportation push is sweeping up large numbers of non-criminal immigrants even as officials publicly claim the focus is on “the worst of the worst.” A Guardian investigation revealed that the Trump administration’s internal legal justification for deadly boat strikes on Caribbean drug-running vessels hinges on a classified OLC opinion claiming “collective self-defense” of regional allies against cartel violence, a rationale that diverges sharply from Trump’s public framing of the strikes as an anti–overdose effort and relies on intelligence assertions that experts say lack publicly verifiable evidence. The Justice Department is creating a Second Amendment Rights Section inside its civil rights division to investigate state and local policies that restrict gun ownership, implementing Trump’s directive to root out perceived infringements on gun rights, a shift critics say diverts the civil rights unit from its traditional mission and aligns it with conservative priorities. Myanmar’s junta praised the Trump administration’s decision to end Temporary Protected Status for about 4,000 Myanmar nationals in the US after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem telling the AFP that it is “safe” for them to return, even as UN investigators and rights groups warned of escalating atrocities, sham elections and ongoing civil-war violence that make repatriation dangerous. Good news Egypt became the 26th country to eliminate trachoma as a public health concern, achieving WHO-verified success after decades of surveillance, antibiotic campaigns, surgery programs, and sanitation improvements that reduced infection rates below elimination thresholds nationwide. Two long-lost early organ pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, the Chaconne in D minor and Chaconne in G minor, discovered in the 1990s and only recently authenticated by Bach scholar Peter Wollny, were performed for the first time in 320 years at Leipzig’s St. Thomas Church, an event celebrated by Germany’s culture minister as a historic milestone for classical music. See you this evening. — Aaron COMMENTS:  You can make calls for Aftyn Behn here - these are easy calls even if you've never phone banked: https://www.mobilize.us/aftynforcongress/event/826070/ Here's the link to her campaign with all volunteer and donation opportunities: https://www.aftynforcongress.com/ Hey, everyone. Here’s an interesting development, reported by Alexander Vindman (Lt Col, U.S. Army, Ret) on his Substack: his twin brother, Virginia Congressman Eugene Vindman (Col, U.S. Army, Ret) is ready to come back on active duty to defend Sen. Mark Kelly as an Army JAG. Eugene Vindman says, “I’ve got a pretty good win record. See you in court!” More here: https://www.avindman.com/p/were-not-backing-down?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web This is lengthy, but explains AUTOCRATS!  Both Sane and Insane - My Conversation With Dr. Ruth Ben-Ghiat About Understanding Trump And Other Autocrats HOPIUM CHRONICLES with Simon Rosenberg  https://www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/both-sane-and-insane-my-conversation According to the Election Truth Alliance statistical data analysis results, he didn't win that many swing states, he didn't flip that many counties, he didn't win the popular vote, and he possibly didn't even win the election. Their whole platform is built on a lie and he keeps repeating that lie. He knows he didn't win fairly, which is why he always uses that argument. The Election Truth Alliance has filed a lawsuit in PA to sue for a recount in two counties. Everyone should be covering and following that lawsuit closely. You should also check out the investigative reporting by the "This Will Hold" Substack into the 2024 election. They have found a lot of anomalies to support the narrative that there was tampering with the 2024 election. Their most recent reporting shows that there were fake counties reporting election data on election night in multiple states. If Vance is campaigning, then the Republicans will truly lose 👏🏾 My thoughts exactly He's so dislikable, even MAGAs mock him. All eyes are on you Tennessee we believe in you 💚 I thought Drump was against early voting. Make it make sense Only if it doesn't benefit him He's also against absentee voting, and yet his own voting record... This vote is strictly for District 7 in the Nashville area. Not all of Nashville. You’re welcome, Aimee. I would pay admission to see Col. Vindman question Whiskey Pete on the stand! Hehe 😉 Way cool! I just found the brothers on Substack this week. They are hard core patriots. Love them! Yay! The brothers are amazing. I will never forgive Drumpf for withholding Alexander Vindman’s well-earned promotion to full Colonel in 2020, and forcing him to retire after reassigning him from his position as Director of European Affairs for the United States National Security Council. Dump directly retaliated against Vindman for serving as a key witness before the US Congress regarding the Trump–Ukraine scandal. Sickening and such a travesty. A Leavitt family member?!! Um, yay!! I've said all along that, when one of theirs is affected, the mentality might (operative word) change. Thanks for you fine reporting, Aaron!!! My first thought also. The couple weren't together. The boy lived with his father, Michael Leavitt, who said "the boy had a relationship with his mother". It's too convenient. That’s what I thought. Because they are divorced. They probably set it up Unless she was an inconvenience to the family... It will be interesting to see whether Leavitt's nephew's mother will get special treatment or will have to face ICE justice. I'm betting on special treatment. Unless they wanted her deported. The Administration’s response will tell us. If they let her leave they wanted it. Tennessean are not stupid. We know Just Dance Vance is the puppet for Peter Thiel. These people have proven, they are NOT America First👎🏾 Her polling is great. It has to be in our GOOD NEWS SUNDAY AND THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY SHE WINS. EPSTEIN FILES. UKRAINE. EPSTEIN FILES. UKRAINE. EPSTEIN FILES. UKAINE Canvassing this weekend if you live in TN. And you can phone bank wherever you live. Saw this today in signal messaging: I tell my passengers all the time to get out and vote. I live in Tennessee. ICE arrests anyone they want. My American brothers and sisters, I know someone who served with special U.S. forces in Afghanistan and was arrested through a special visa meant for key allies, and later released. I urge all U.S. leaders that Afghan veterans some of whom could have been migrate to the U.S. should not be arrested by the police, because Afghan veterans risked their lives in Afghanistan for America. Many are still abandoned and forgotten by the U.S. government and face daily torture and execution in Afghanistan, simply because they served alongside Americans, yet the U.S. government pays no attention." Thank you for this information. You are describing a travesty, and I am sorry your heart has to carry it. Thank u for holding up a light to the injustice and the need for us all to be better brothers and sisters, as you say, and true friends to our allies. May love prevail, someway, somehow. May courage rain down on us all, and justice rise up! That’s for sure. My naive, pollyanna self figured that out in 2018 when i first ran for office. But this is a state that: Gave large businesses operating in TN a tax package close to $2billion …. but the gov and legislature refuse to abolish a 4% food tax which amounts to a break to families of approx $800 annually. (Aftyn has pushed for getting rid if the food tax; pretty sure she introduced the bill.). But there’s more, of course. One of our Maga Governor’s businesses benefited from the tax break and a percentage of the businesses which benefited from the tax package aren’t even based in TN. The governor signed the bill enacting permit-less concealed carry at an event held at Tennessee’s Beretta plant. (Photo attributed to The Tennessee Lookout) (probably John Partipilo; not sure). Unless you live in a very Red state, you can't really understand how AWESOME it is to read a headline that says DEMOCRATS SURGE IN TENNESSEE! After years of knocking on doors, donating, attending events across the state, running for office without a chance of winning but because we have to, facing ridicule, being called names... then you cant really get it. I guess tn has a lot of uneducated racist people if they are still voting republican 1. Go, Tennessee Go !! 2. Oh noooo... too bad for KKKaroline Leavitt. How did she get notified, bovino? This is like an early Christmas 🎄 magats: "it will never happen to ME" ME: "it happened... now what do I do?" 🎵 thoughts and prayers 🎵 3. Pooty will do whatever he wants. No body will tell him what to do, especially tromp. 4. tromp is a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. we ALL know that he did not win by a landslide, more like 1.5% tromp is the WORST US President EVER tromp is MENTALLY UNFIT FOR DUTY tromp is a GLOBAL EMBARASSMENT . NO KINGS RESIST !! VOTE !! Happy Thanksgiving, y'all It’s interesting how Levitt stands at the podium with her cross around her neck cosplaying a Christian woman who comes from a good family and exemplifies Christian and family values. Now correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t those crazies say having sex before marriage is a sin? Yet KKKaroline had her baby before she married and her brother had a baby out of wedlock. I hope someone does an investigative report on this detention. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if her brother had an ongoing custody battle with this woman, then suddenly she gets deported. What a crazy coincidence! The GOP: Guardians of Pedophiles are shitting bricks!! Vance and Trump are both so unpopular, their support or appearance in Tennessee could back-fire FABULOUS !!! Send Lady Maybelline the Couch Cuddling Ratface to Tennessee to campaign!! That should ensure a few more votes for Aftyn. No one likes this smarmy, condescending liar. Everywhere he goes in the WORLD he is greeted with a Roman Chorus of protesters saying "Go home, Pedophile Protector", "We Hate You", "Sod Off!", "The Couch says No", in every language in every country he visits. Yes, unleash Just Dance Vance, Aftyn will welcome the support. The MAGAt panic over the TN election..I think this is going to light more of a fire under MAGA/Project 2025 to f*uck up our system of elections before the mid-terms. They're desperate and they're going to pull out all of the illegal stops to manipulate results to keep power. I really think we need to keep an eye on what's going on with each state's election administration. We simply cannot risk being taken by surprise at the last minute. We KNOW how they'll lie, cheat and steal-they've done it so many times already. Alas, Secretary of Bad Health, Worm Brain Kennedy, is seeking to sanction Egypt for eliminating the disease: Egypt became the 26th country to eliminate trachoma as a public health concern, achieving WHO-verified success after decades of surveillance, antibiotic campaigns, surgery programs, and sanitation improvements that reduced infection rates below elimination thresholds nationwide. Thank you for the great news and giving me a smile. MAGA world is falling apart. When a movement is only based on hate, it cannot survive especially when the leader is as corrupt, evil and insane as Trump is. He is surrounded by people who are just whispering their evil directions to him. It can't continue. It won't continue. I support the people in DC. Wish I could be there to let them know I am behind them all.
