White House plans include: "ending birthright citizenship, ceasing sanctuary city funding, suspending refugee resettlement, freezing unnecessary funding, stopping taxpayers from funding transgender surgeries, and much more.”beltway.news/i/167002316/wh…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. While Trump posted about birthright citizenship and skirted reporters' questions about nationwide injunctions, his administration published its full intentions on the White House website.

The White House attempted a number of tactics to hide the government’s investigation of Epstein, including lying about its existence, pretending to release the files, blaming political opponents, berating voters, and closing the investigation completely. beltway.news/p/trump-admini…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. Hundreds of thousands of records were declassified over the past week, but not a single one from the government‘s investigation into Epstein’s sex trafficking.

Camaron Stevenson@thisiscamaron · Jul 17

Comey’s removal comes as Trump faces accusations of protecting the clients of Epstein, who was charged with allegedly facilitating sex with minors for his powerful associates. Comey was a prosecutor in Epstein’s case; Trump, one of his known associates. beltway.news/p/trump-fires-…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. Maurene Comey led cases against a number of powerful figures charged with sex crimes, including shutting down a trafficking ring during Trump’s first term.

Using his power to limit their speech isn’t technically a violation of the 1A — since they gave in voluntarily — but as the ground around free speech is ceded, the less Trump will need to abuse his power to silence dissent. beltway.news/p/trumps-priva…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. The White House has relentlessly pressured journalists, influencers, and the general public to end all discussion about the former Trump associate and convicted sex trafficker.

Alternatively, local stations could take the ABC/CBS approach and opt to play ball: agree to what is outlined in Project 2025 and take programming directives from the White House. beltway.news/p/upcoming-sen…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. Alternatively, local stations could adopt the ABC/CBS approach and play ball; agree to what's outlined in Project 2025 and take programming directives from the White House.

NEW: @MaxwellFrostFL discovered during an oversight visit of Florida's new internment camp that criminal charges aren't being filed with state or federal courts in order to "keep things off the books.” beltway.news/p/rep-maxwell-…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. US Rep. Maxwell Frost discovered during an oversight visit that criminal charges aren't being filed with state or federal courts in order to"keep things off the books.”

The most recent anti-Trump protests held this year consistently attracted ~5 million people, suggesting this could be their attendance ceiling. But there’s one way that could change: by making the next nationwide protest on July 17 about Epstein. beltway.news/p/the-next-nat…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. Messages reveal the DOJ told those working on the case they would need to “say fuck you to the courts” that got in the way of Trump’s immigration enforcement plan.

Any semblance of privacy has been abandoned; There's one toilet in plain view, and no beds, blankets, clothes, or showers for the 100 detainees Medical care is scarce, as is food, and requests for sustenance are ignored by government agents. beltway.news/i/167928943/ny…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. US Reps. Norman and Roy wanted the renewable energy incentives to end immediately, but settled for a ceremonial declaration by Trump that the tax credits were over.

Camaron Stevenson@thisiscamaron · Jul 9

SCOOP: President Trump signed an EO Monday that claims to end all federal subsidies and tax credits for renewable energy. It doesn’t. But it does fulfil a promise made behind closed doors last week, during tense negotiations over the federal budget. beltway.news/p/scoop-an-emp…

ICE’s budget has now gone from $8 billion to nearly $75 billion ($30 billion for the agency’s base budget and $45 billion for detention centers), with another $90 billion dedicated to supporting its efforts. beltway.news/p/trump-treats…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. Funding to support ICE and Trump’s immigration agenda is larger than the military budget of every country in the world, except for the US and China (and it’s a close third).

Camaron Stevenson@thisiscamaron · Jun 26

The authoritarian allowance allotted to Trump by the sluggish pace of the courts shares similarities to the cases of immigrants like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was left for months in a Salvadoran mega-prison while Trump’s attorneys stalled with impunity. beltway.news/p/this-is-week…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. As the case between Newsom and Trump saunters through the courts, one detail seems to get overlooked: Nearly 5,000 active military troops are still deployed in Los Angeles.

Camaron Stevenson@thisiscamaron · Jun 25

The plan involves dismissing any legal proceedings involving an immigrant to take them out of the judicial system. With no pending case, ICE can execute expedited deportations without the threat of having to return them so they can have their day in court. beltway.news/p/trump-drops-…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. This method — crafted by the latest shadow president, Stephen Miller — betrays one of Trump’s key campaign promises: that he’d only go after violent criminals.

Camaron Stevenson@thisiscamaron · Jun 24

Opposition to the Trump admin continues to grow as he implements his deeply unpopular policies. Voters don’t want the military deployed against civilians, mass deportations, war, and aren't finding the economic relief Trump promised on the campaign trail. beltway.news/p/trump-cocoon…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. The president’s attention in the aftermath of bombing Iran seems to be consumed seeking validation and reassurances from the media that he’s doing a good job.

Camaron Stevenson@thisiscamaron · Jun 23

It’s not going to be a series of congressional hearings over the course of several years that convinces more and more of the public to support war, it’s going to be an onslaught of TikToks over the course of a few weeks. beltway.news/p/trumps-illeg…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. YouGov conducted a poll the week before the attack and 24 hours after the attack, and in that time, support for bombing Iran more than doubled, going from 16% to 35%.

Camaron Stevenson@thisiscamaron · Jun 23

Support for bombing Iran has gone up by 20% since last week. It took 11 years' worth of lies for going to war with Iraq to get a support bump like that.

This guy jumped out of his truck and tried to steal a flag from No Kings protestors in Phoenix. It didn’t go so well for him.

NEW: Judge Barbara Holmes closed a six-hour hearing on whether Kilmar Abrego Garcia would be detained while awaiting trial without making a decision, and he'll remain in custody until she does. beltway.news/p/judge-delays…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. The judge said she would rule "sooner rather than later" on releasing him, but the Trump administration has plans to ensure that not going to jail isn't the same as going home.

DHS Sec. Kristi Noem had Padilla violently removed for condemning violent acts that have taken place during the LA protests. This is the third time this week the Trump admin has used the force of the executive branch to intimidate elected officials. beltway.news/p/breaking-us-…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. In addition to this attack against Padilla, federal prosecutors indicted US Rep. LaMonica McIver on allegations that she assaulted officers who prevented her from accessing an ICE detention facility.

Camaron Stevenson@thisiscamaron · Jun 11

Trump declared victory in his trade war with China, claiming they will give the US rare minerals and reduce tariffs to 10% while admitting to using Chinese college students studying in the US as economic pawns. Only one of these things is true. beltway.news/publish/posts/…

Camaron Stevenson@thisiscamaron · Jun 9

That designation, directly from the White House, led to outlets describing the protests as acts of treason. By the time Trump turned on Fox News, it was no longer a protest, as far as his media bubble was concerned: it was a full-blown insurrection. beltway.news/p/trump-desper…

thisiscamaron's tweet card. The President stoked the flames from 3,000 miles away at his private golf resort in New Jersey, then spent the evening at a UFC fight.
