Hundreds of thousands gather to mark Budapest Pride despite Orban ban Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Budapest on Saturday to mark the 30th anniversary of Pride, defying a government-imposed ban on the event. Among the crowd were members of the European Parliament, international supporters, and many so-called "first priders".

NEW β€” I’ve obtained audio of new acting FEMA head David Richardson threatening staff in an all hands meeting this morning.

As first reported by Reuters, he told those who resisted change in the agency, β€œDon’t get in my way…I will run right over you.”

Listen to the clip here:

Editorial: We must all advocate for Andry’s release Gay makeup artist Andry Jose HernΓ‘ndez Romero sits in a notorious prison in El Salvador for no good reason.

I have been advocating for Kilmar Abrego Garcia & now it's time to also put our attention onto Andry Hernandez Romero.

trump condemned him to CECOT, in El Salvador. He came here as a gay man to seek asylum; he committed no crime in the U.S. and has followed all the steps here to seek asylum.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination.

He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech.

Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin.

So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc.

But it won't be DOJ.
It won't be the SEC.
It won't be Congress.

You know who CAN investigate this?

NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.

Ho-ly sh*t!

This is the #HandsOff protest right now in Nanuet in #NY17, sponsored by @indivisrockland.bsky.social.

And this video is of just *one* of the four corners at the intersection where this rally is being held.

There’s got to be a thousand people here.

Never seen anything like this.

Immigration crackdown now hitting green card holders A former Hawaii resident, and longtime green card holder, is among those being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

This is the first case I’ve seen so far of a returning permanent resident detained without any acknowledged rationale (family says she has no prior convictions and that they haven’t been given any information)

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.

That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

Behind Trump's unprecedented actions is the unitary executive theory, a once-fringe legal idea that asserts that the president has unlimited power to control the actions of the four million people who make up the executive branch.
