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.
