A week inside the opaque court where CT immigrants learn their fate The courtroom often resembles an assembly line, with many cases taking less than five minutes.

NEW: I spent a week in Connecticut’s only immigration court, where thousands of people each year learn if they can stay in the United States.

The court doesn’t allow photography, so I took an illustrator.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

The Guard has been reworking its policies to align with the administration’s changing tolerances for hazing, harassment within the U.S. military. By

Trump, Musk, and the GOP killed hundreds of thousands of kids around the world.

That should be a major story and talking point.

They cut USAID to "save" from "waste," but gave 40 billion to Argentina and threw a Great Gatsby party and let Kash Patel burn our money for his honeypot GF.

I've been trying to decide what was Marjorie Taylor Greene's best moment as a member of Congress and I've decided it was "Gazpacho police"

When the Trump regime aims to punish members of Congress for reminding the military to refuse illegal orders, it’s a strong indicator that the Trump regime is ISSUING ILLEGAL ORDERS.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Yep

Musk’s DOGE Quietly Killed Off After Delivering Almost Nothing The agency disbanded eight months ahead of schedule.

Except it destroyed tens of thousands of careers, took hundreds of thousands of lives through lies and the dismantling of USAID, and drained billions from taxpayers.

lmaoooooo the wheels are coming off the clown car

the best thing about this is that there are roughly 17 different reasons this prosecution could have been dismissed, they just landed on this one

And rough outcome.
As the old adage goes, it doesn’t pay to throw power around like an autocrat, and protocols matter.

Is S. Carolina trying to make itself an all male state?

“Sometimes they threaten you with something - something you can't stand up to, can't even think about. And then you say, "Don't do it to me, do it to somebody else, do it to So-and-so." ... You WANT it to happen to the other person. You don't give a damn what they suffer.” ― George Orwell, 1984

She doesn’t even try to hide that she’s a spokesperson for Putin serving in the US Congress. Post after post, day after day, echoing Russian propaganda. Truly sad that people in Pinellas County have chosen this as their representation.

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they didn’t let women have their own credit cards til 50 years ago

She wasn't ready for an honest, truthful answer. This is why....Trump is threatening Democrats.

“We need to be nicer to men” no state made spousal rape a crime until 50 years ago and too many loopholes exist today

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*

The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

In the US “peace plan,” there are phrases that were probably originally written in russian, – The Guardian

In English they sound unnatural, though in russian they would sound natural

I served as our Ambassador in Ukraine for 3 years under Putin’s missiles and drones but resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. America does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are.

Here's why this Trump-Putin so-called "peace plan" is a disaster:

Major economic news!

Thanks to our latest round of state tax credits, nine companies are expanding their headquarters and manufacturing operations in California.

This will bring 2,700+ new, good-paying jobs and $370M+ in private investment into the Golden State's economy.

I'm as flabbergasted as Dean on this one. Unfuckingreal. First off, it's illegal but more than that, some children never get over such abuse. Some adults never get over it even with therapy. WTF is going on in this country?
