Our colleague Betsy Woodruff Swan has an eye-popping story up this
morning on a previously unreported DHS domestic-intelligence program,
“one of many revelations in a wide-ranging tranche of internal documents
reviewed by POLITICO.

“Those documents also reveal that a significant number of employees in
DHS’s intelligence office have raised concerns that the work they are
doing could be illegal. Under the domestic-intelligence program,
officials are allowed to seek interviews with just about anyone in the
United States. That includes people held in immigrant detention centers,
local jails, and federal prison.

And while plenty of Republicans are eager to send Florida Gov. Ron
DeSantis to Washington, many of them have forgotten that he’s been here
before. This morning, Playbook co-author Rachael Bade and Playbook
editor Mike DeBonis discuss Rachael and Playbook producer Bethany
Irvine's deep dive on DeSantis’ low-profile House tenure, interviewing
over a dozen of his former colleagues about his six years among the back
benches.
