Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
A House Judiciary Committee report reveals sanctuary jurisdictions have declined more than 41,000 ICE detainers since October 2022, releasing criminal aliens back onto American streets. Meanwhile, Trump's media ban just backfired spectacularly — CNN, MS NOW, and Politico are suing, the entire TV press pool suspended coverage in solidarity, and the president's own helipad speech today went out completely inaudible because no press pool was there to mic him up. Trump held off on striking the Houthis this weekend, and pollsters themselves admit the same raw midterm data can be spun anywhere from D+7 to D+9 depending on how you weight it.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- A House Judiciary Committee report finds sanctuary jurisdictions have declined at least 41,085 ICE detainers since October 2022 — New York alone released nearly 7,000 criminal aliens in just ten months, and a fresh report out today slams Arlington, Virginia specifically for honoring only 2 of 310 detainers
- Trump's ban of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico backfires immediately: all three outlets file a First Amendment lawsuit, the entire TV press pool consortium suspends coverage of the president in protest, and Trump's own helipad ribbon-cutting today aired with garbled, unusable audio because there was no press pool present to mic him up
- Trump considered striking the Houthis in Yemen this weekend at Saudi Crown Prince MBS's urging, then held off — the Houthis have since pledged not to target U.S. ships, but the underlying Red Sea crisis remains unresolved
- Midterm polling continues to baffle everyone — one analysis found the exact same raw poll data can be weighted to show anywhere from a D+7.1 to a D+9.2 generic ballot lead, all using defensible methodology, as pollsters brace for another 2024-style turnout surprise
- The DOJ charges 16 people across seven states with illegal voting and election fraud, part of a broader sweep that's now reviewing 300,000 case files and made 151 arrests so far
