Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

Today marks one month since Trump attacked a sovereign nation without a declaration of war so he could kidnap its leader and use him as a pawn in a burgeoning scam to overturn the 2020 election results, claim fraud and nullify legit voting for midterms & 2028. Stop him now, USA.

Immigration officers with guns drawn arrested some activists who were trailing their vehicles in Minneapolis, a sign that tensions have not eased since the departure last week of Greg Bovino.

At least one person who had an anti-ICE message on clothing was handcuffed while face-down on the ground.

A Psychopath Talking About Seizing Elections—and a Party Too Cowardly to Stop Him “This isn’t a policy disagreement. It’s authoritarianism, said out loud.”

Trump just said Republicans should “take over the voting and nationalize it.” That’s authoritarianism, full stop. The silence from elected Republicans is cowardice—and it’s dangerous heading into November.

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

This is what Nicolás Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. 🗽

The “Epstein Class” are a group of elitists with the commonality of being opportunists not wanting to miss out on social networking connections.
They could ignore the suffering & pain caused by others sex crimes or bad political policies, if they needed favors from the same social class connections.

as someone who pushes hard against conspiratorial thinking in my professional and political life, it is deeply irritating when, on top of the untold human harms Epstein caused, it turns out he was at the center of at least half a dozen actual conspiracies

Annotating the Judge’s Decision in the Case of Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-Year-Old Detained by ICE (Gift Article) Our critic annotates the barbed wordplay of a decision challenging the Trump administration’s theory of executive power.

Here’s a useful reminder of what our federal courts SHOULD be doing to uphold our constitutional traditions:

Sadly, this is NOT satire.

Designed with a lot of feedback from folks on the frontlines (Minneapolis and elsewhere).

They’re having a premiere of the ‘Melania’ film at Kennedy Center on Thursday for 1000 people. What a sick f*cking country we have become. Jeff Bezos paid a 40 million dollar bribe to an ex-prostitute to curry favor with a drug-addicted sexual predator who twice became POTUS.

Anderson Cooper played side-by-side video of Noem and Bovino smearing the victim of Saturday's shooting, then said, "If either of these public officials had an ounce of decency, they would call up Alex Pretti's parents and apologize."

Walz: I think Kristi Noem probably should go back to South Dakota, not have any dogs, and just kind of ride things out

“If you raise your voice I’ll erase your voice” said an ice agent.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.
