In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

Mike Johnson Tantrums Because Democrats Are Suing To Keep 41 Million Americans From Starving Speaker Mike Johnson, who identifies as a Christian, is upset because dozens of Democratic state AGs are suing the Trump administration to force them to release food aid to keep people from starving.

Is this what Christianity is about,killing people ??

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

ICE is terrorizing my community: individuals are being taken from the streets, chemical agents deployed near schools, and raids conducted in sacred sites. This pattern of lawless behavior must stop. Those responsible will be held accountable, and our community will not forget.

This is the third U.S. Attorney found to be unlawfully appointed. The other two are Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba. Their indictments stand because they were signed by other prosecutors. Not true for Lindsey Halligan.

Six Words Every Killer Should Know: ‘I Feared for My Life, Officer’ The number of legally sanctioned homicides has grown substantially in states with expanded self-defense rights under stand-your-ground laws.

"It’s easier than ever to kill someone in America and get away with it." States with stand-your-ground laws have seen a 59% increase in legally sanctioned homicides from five years ago. www.wsj.com/us-news/homi...

In other countries all close female friends are called "aunt."

Trump Jr-linked drone company wins Pentagon contract Unusual Machines secures deal as US military accelerates domestic production of unmanned aircraft

Unusual Machines, a little-known drone company backed by Donald Trump Jr, says the U.S. army had contracted it to manufacture 3,500 drone motors, alongside various other drone parts. on.ft.com/3Ls4H5Z

Hell, I’d be shocked if he bothered to find out whether Melania was still in the East Wing before he destroyed it.

Pregnant women describe miscarrying and bleeding out while in ICE custody, advocates say The ACLU and other groups are pressing for ICE to identify and release all pregnant women in custody and to stop detaining anyone known to be pregnant, postpartum or nursing.

“You have women who are talking about being shackled and restrained while they’re actively miscarrying; you have women begging and pleading for things as basic as prenatal vitamins and being denied.”

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

trump is demolishing our national symbols and selling the country for scrap to his corrupt donors

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

If North Carolina enacts this new map, it will be sued.

I don't bluff and I usually win.

NC passes new GOP-friendly congressional districts into law ahead of 2026 The North Carolina House gave final approval to new congressional districts designed to help protect Republicans' slim majority in Congress by eliminating the state's only competitive district. The ne...

North Carolina legislative leaders approve a Trump-endorsed redesign of U.S. House districts aimed at adding a Republican seat.

ICE has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.

You read that right — SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENT.

Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

I’ll say it again. Not only did they invent this theory. They CHOSE to deliver it to THIS guy, a dangerous raving selfish moron. They could have waited four years and given it all to President Vance or whatever. They chose to give it to Trump.

there are good & worthwhile historical & legal arguments for why the unitary executive is nonsense but to my mind the most straightforward argument is that it makes no logical sense that the president has absolute removal power over the people whose job it is to keep the executive branch accountable

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Monday's photo from the Washington Post

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Trump is demanding DOJ pay him $230 million for investigating him.

At this point, he’s just seeing how much blatant corruption the GOP will sign off on.
