Andrea Pitzer wrote β€œOne Long Night: A Global History of Concentration Camps”

This is how she describes ICE detention centers

β€œThe..pre-death camp..Nazi concentration camp..we are very much mimicking that. And if they get all the beds that they have funding for, we’ll..approach the Soviet gulag”

The Court established that official actions taken under a president's "conclusive and preclusive" authority cannot be criminalized, while other official actions are presumptively immune, making it difficult to prosecute former presidents.

A key point here is that Trump has no idea what he’s talking about. He’s just bloviating. That should be reflected in the news coverage, but it won’t be.

His blood pressure has got to be through the roof right now, so if anyone has a chance to ask him an aggressive question about the Epstein files, that really could make It happen today.

Come on, reporters. We'll build statues in your honor.

Daines' silence was louder than Carl's hate β€’ Daily Montanan Columnist Doug James said that Sen. Steve Daines' silence after the fiery Jeremy Carl Senate hearing was as bad as any view by the Bozeman-based think tank nominee.

This is a brutal takedown of Daines. "Daines had a chance to draw a line. To say not this. Not in my name. Not from my state."
Doug then delivers the kill shot "It stains him." πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Doug James:
This isn’t a policy debate. It’s bile...
Here’s the moral issue. It’s simple. When someone traffics in racism and antisemitism, you say so. Out loud. Immediately.
Silence is not neutrality. Silence is shelter.

Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president The decision does not affect all of Trump's tariffs but invalidates those implemented using an emergency law.

The squalor of Trump has brought us back to the basics β€” especially understanding the importance of checks and balances and separation of powers.

This is a mess of Trump's own making β€” and a reminder that he's not all powerful.

These were not POW. They had a wide range of personal experience and situations as to why they were detailed and interned. They most certainly were not enemy combatants or POW.

Japanese were interned at Fort Missoula and then they were moved out and Germans and Italians were moved in.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, β€œObama: Dems need to avoid scolding and β€˜virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Bari Weiss built her career in part by whining about how the left was supposedly censoring conservatives. β€œThe Free Press” - the unironic title of her publication - ran numerous pieces about a β€œcensorship-industrial complex.”

Now, under her watch, we get to see real censorship - and hypocrisy.

Obama responds to the racist Trump video β€” saying there's a "sort of clown show" playing out on social media: "What is true is there doesn't seem to be any shame about this among people who used to feel like you had to have some sense of decorum and a sense of propriety and respect for the office."

What the congressman reports below is disgusting.
He reveals the utter lack of decency and humanity in the Trump administration, especially in the telling detail at the end.

Screenshot of a tweet from a Democratic congresswoman stating that Epstein-related files remain redacted for Members of Congress and alleging that Pam Bondi has been tracking which members reviewed the files. Below is a split-screen news image showing Rep. Jasmine Crockett speaking on ABC News Live Prime alongside a photo of Jeffrey Epstein, with a caption about viewing unredacted Epstein files.

It's clearly a cover up, and they think we’re all stupid and won't notice.
