"Your Royal Highness, the U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9/11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office. Why should Americans trust you, and the same to you, Mr. President?”

“No, who are you with?” Trump snapped. trib.al/WO5i98c

Thank you Mary Bruce for asking tough questions to those in power. 🗽

Nuzzling: Journalists who cuddle up to their sources.

Read this very carefully. A man who emigrated to the US as a child, as a WWII refugee, has been taken by ICE for being in the country "illegally."

In no world, never mind in a country that claims to support the rights of individuals, should that sort of thing happen.

Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

Tonight, at Law Dork:

Irish tourist jailed by Ice for months after overstaying US visit by three days: ‘Nobody is safe’ Exclusive: For roughly 100 days, Thomas says he faced harsh detention conditions, despite agreeing to deportation

NEW: An Irish tourist visiting the US was jailed by ICE for 3 months after overstaying 3 days due to medical issue. Thomas agreed to be deported, but instead went to federal prison where he recounted horrific conditions + no medical care.

“Nobody's safe from the system if they get pulled into it"

I know! Seth tells his jokes sharply and sweetly. I've never seen him raise his voice! However Trump...

The Trump regime has fired an estimated 70 immigration judges since February. This is happening as immigration courts face a record backlog of cases.

Remember: it was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

The military says 200 National Guard soldiers from Texas and 300 from Illinois have been federalized for the Chicago operation for 60 days. The left-leaning Institute for Policy Studies pegs the deployment cost at a minimum of $647 per day, per soldier. The estimated total cost: $12.8 million.

Remember those national guard troops sent to Chicago by Texas Gov Greg Abbott? They went home after sitting at a suburban training facility doing nothing for a month. Abbott's little stunt cost taxpayers at least $12M. What an abuse of power.

Is this losing? Feels like losing

Losing bigly.

A Charlotte pastor said Border Patrol came into his church and made an arrest in front of children. They cried “a lot,” he said.

“We are trying to clean the property. We didn’t know this is gonna happen.”

Congratulations!

N.J. just experienced its most dramatic voter surge in decades. See the surprising numbers. With 3.15 million voters casting ballots — a 27-year high for a gubernatorial election — Sherrill's victory over Ciattarelli may signal shifting political winds.

More voters came out for New Jersey’s 2025 general election than any other governor’s race in the past 27 years. www.nj.com/politics/202...

Cuz we want to keep NJ blue! 💙

Not three months ago, Bondi and Patel stated unequivocally that there was nothing more to investigate (but that is indeed the reason the will give for not releasing the files now)

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Kristi Noem sits on a horse wearing a cowboy hat. In the background is Mount Rushmore.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.

It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

“You’re hearing people pretty explicitly saying, ‘I’m not waiting my turn,’” Amanda Litman, Run for Something's exec director. said. “‘I didn’t want to run for office. But I feel like I have to."

Good news all around--young people and progressive!

'Shame on UVA': Student producer fired for asking hard questions A student journalist at UVA was fired for asking hard questions of UVA interim President Paul Mahoney and refusing to apologize.

I was not aware of this story, and I'm guessing that the University of Virginia wanted it that way augustafreepress.com/news/shame-o...

Pentagon’s largest warship enters Latin American waters as US tensions with Venezuela rise USS Gerald R Ford’s arrival marks the largest US military presence in the region since the invasion of Panama in 1989

Republicans are taking us into another completely avoidable war. More blood for oil, this time in Venezuela.

Well well well

Starbucks employees have long fought against consistently unpredictable schedules, short staffing, low pay, and unfair labor practices.

A ProPublica investigation, however, has found little evidence to support the government’s claims. ProPublica has discovered the names of 21 of the detained Venezuelan men and women and interviewed 12 of them. We also spoke with dozens of their relatives, friends and neighbors. And we reviewed U.S. public records databases and court websites, examined court documents and social media accounts, obtained audio and video recordings made that night, and attended immigration court hearings.

Showing/ explaining your work is one way for fact based news media to regain credibility with an audience that has been blasted with right wing lies about fake news. THIS is what journalists do. It's not vibes, it's not opinion, it's FACTS.

It's doing all the legwork.

Yes we all have to up our game!
