Utterly unacceptable in a democracy. In a sane world, House Republicans would be drafting impeachment articles today and Senate Republicans would be preparing for a trial to convict and remove him from office

This is a hell of a headline:

Seeking admission: How a federal appeals court in Texas decision supercharged ICE The Trump-aligned Fifth Circuit Court in Texas just handed the Trump administration broad authority to lock up scores of detained immigrants, provided it can get them to Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi. As legal challenges to their detention soar, the Trump administration has begun transferring arrests from Minnesota and other places to Texas, where their challenges can be heard by courts that are friendlier to the White House. While federal law dictates that migrants detained inside the country may be released while their cases work their way through courts, Vox's Senior correspondent, Ian Millhiser, says, "Trump has started to apply the rules that apply to people at the border to every immigrant in the country."

Federal law limits how long minors can be held in ICE custody to 20 days. New reporting by ProPublica found hundreds of children detained for a month or more. Vox's @imillhiser.bsky.social notes, "Whatever the law says, it only matters if you have good courts that are able to enforce the law."

YouTube video by Sen. Adam Schiff Epstein Files Cover Up – and Whose Lies are Fueling It

There is still a lot we need to know about the remaining Epstein Files.

But one thing we know for sure: this administration has been lying, consistently, about the Epstein Files and their attempts to cover up his connections to them and Trump himself. youtu.be/Z7rF-6TP9h0?...

Homeland Security’s “SAVE” Program Exacerbates Risks to Voters Bad data and a politicized overhaul could spread election fraud lies and disenfranchise voters.

3/ Here’s a link to the Brennan Center’s July 2025 report warning about the problems with both the SAVE System and the Social Security Number database when used to purge voters from the voter rolls, as would occur under the “Save America Act”. Everyone should read it.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Thirty years of concern. Never enough courage.

UCLA said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is backing off.

Harvard said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is left sputtering.

Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern giving in was a big mistake. If only there were lessons against appeasing fascists.

Adorable

Trump administration drops appeal of court order blocking $1.2-billion UCLA settlement The Trump administration dropped its appeal of a major higher education case in which a federal judge blocked its $1.2-billion settlement proposal to UCLA over alleged civil rights violations. It will...

This is a genuinely huge, sweeping victory today for the University of California—or rather, for us, its faculty, acting through our faculty associations, while the UC itself maintained a strict policy of deer-in-headlights silence.

The Trump admin has given up its appeal of a powerful injunction:

Rep. Jason Crow on Rubio's Munich speech: "Not only did he say things I found disturbing, what was also important was what he did not say. He never mentioned Russia once. He never mentioned China once. There was historically revisionism."

ECB makes euro backstop global to bolster currency's role The European Central Bank unveiled plans on Saturday to widen access to its euro liquidity backstop, making it globally available and permanent in a bid to bolster the international role of the single currency.

Here Noem says the quiet part out loud.

Trump's DHS is not a traditional Cabinet agency, a part of the U.S. government established and constrained by laws, regulations, and court rulings.

DHS is now an arm of Trump and MAGA, used against citizens the administration disfavors.

Activists celebrate as immigration agents depart Terminal Island. 'The people kicked them out' Federal immigration agents departed from the Coast Guard site at Terminal Island in San Pedro, which they had used as a base for months while the Trump administration conducted immigration raids acros...

ICE has pulled out of Terminal Island, its base for the last eight months for escalated immigration raids across Los Angeles and Southern California.

“ICE didn’t leave," Ron Gochez, a member of Unión del Barrio, told the L.A. Times. "The people kicked them out.”

…she will make sure they vote for “the right leaders?”

Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

We have a super easy letter campaign to save NCAR. Takes 30 seconds to yell at your Congress Critters and you’ll can do it every day!

Trump remains ‘very serious’ about taking over Greenland, Danish PM warns – Europe live ‘I think the desire from the US president is exactly the same,’ Mette Frederiksen tells Munich Security Conference

Trump remains ‘very serious’ about taking over Greenland, Danish PM warns – Europe live

The government has struggled to keep up with the pace at which it's being sued, and the pace at which it's losing.

Reuters found more than 700 Justice Department lawyers now assigned to immigration detention cases.

And we found five DOJ attorneys who each appeared in more than 1,000 cases.

Worry, Don't Panic, Over Trump's Efforts to Subvert the Elections America's system is quite foolproof but he can still try to delegitimize it

His attacks on the midterms are real and dangerous… and aren’t going to work. Running down the case for an optimistic threat assessment @theunpopulist.net :

How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention A 9-year-old shares her story of being held at the nation’s only operating detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.

I met Maria Antonia inside Dilley in mid-Jan where she had been detained for four months. She told me she was on her way to Disney World when immigration agents intercepted and interrogated her in the airport and sent her and her mom to detention www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

ICE Gains Fast-Track Access to Private Prison Giant as It Plans to Nearly Double Detention Capacity Navy contract allows immigration agency to bypass normal bidding and hire one of its largest detention operators directly as it plans to add 92,000 beds by November

🚨ICE just got access to one of its biggest private detention center operators last night, thanks to a Navy contract.

The move lets ICE bypass normal contracting processes to tap GEO Group to operate its detention centers as they race to buy detention sites to house 92,000 detainees nationwide.

The Cabinet this week
*RFK Jr. bragged about snorting cocaine off of a toilet seat
*Lutnick acknowledged taking his family to Epstein island
*Bondi “The Dow” / refuses to look at victims
*Noem blanket
*Hegseth loses to Kelly, tries to tweet through it
*Bessent “tariffs don’t cause inflation”

Kristi Noem: "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."

Sick Detainees Describe Poor Care at Facilities Run by ICE Contractor

ICE arrests & imprisons families & children who have various legal avenues to remain in the U.S. with the hopes of forcing them to self-deport:

“A [DHS] spokesperson said that immigrants are in detention by “choice,” because they are allowed to exit if they agree to voluntarily leave the country.”

This is a line‑in‑the‑sand moment for separation of powers and for free elections. Trump is saying there “will be” new voting rules “whether approved by Congress or not,” and every member of Congress should be pushing back loudly, in public, right now. #holdfast

YouTube video by MS NOW 'Private cabin': New scrutiny on Noem, Lewandowski's 'close relationship' amid DHS chaos

WATCH: This is "one of the most devastating pieces of political reporting I can remember," says Chris Hayes on the Wall Street Journal's reporting on the bizarre behavior of DHS head Kristi Noem and her unofficial number two, Corey Lewandowski.

They don’t want us to vote.

Because they are NOT the majority.
