A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

They largely want the studios & sports and don’t care about the news org. In fact, they would love it gone. Why? Because rich men, especially tech men, think they deserve no criticism and also need constant fluffing. They value a mirrortocracy over a meritocracy and welcome a mediocrity.

In new episode of #SistersInLaw, we discussed the upcoming SCOTUS term, Trump’s address to military leaders, and a court’s extraordinary rebuke of Trump administration for violating first amendment rights. You can listen here.

Downtown Chicago is really hopping tonight. Restaurants are full. Lots of people on the sidewalks. Thousands enjoying free music at Jazz Fest.

'It infuriates us': Veterans rage at 'abusive' Trump over reports of him stiffing soldiers Donald Trump has reportedly gone out of his way to avoid paying national guard troops sent in to Washington, D.C., resulting in outrage from veterans.The reports started earlier in the summer that Tru...

Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard.

$5 trillion in new business investment, hundreds of thousands of new jobs tied to those investments, and record low gas prices. While the numbers sound impressive, none of them are true.

Trump spent Labor Day promoting what he called a “Golden Age,” but the claims being pushed don’t hold up. The White House circulated talking points on social media boasting of $8 trillion in new tariff revenue, $4 trillion in deficit reduction,

Because nothing screams “qualified diplomat” like a guy whose entire foreign policy experience is yelling at women from his car.

He put chalk on his shoes then walked on the Pulse Memorial crosswalk.

Police arrested him. But the court said they had no cause and he was released.

The man arrested is now considering suing the state of Florida citing first amendment right violations.

On Labor Day, thoughts from an intel official who chose to retire Over the last few months, I have been wondering how retirements, terminations, and hiring slow-downs in the intel agencies will play out.

Great interview of a recently retired intelligence officer by a former Hayden Center panel discussion moderator, Sasha Ingber.

If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?

Is this the *emergency* you had in mind when you took these National Guard troops from their families @GovBillLee?

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.
