Nuclear Arms Control Era Comes to End Amid Global Rush for New Weapons

Trump ushers in a new global nuclear arms race. First time since 1972 with no agreement limiting nuclear weapons.

Pentagon threatens to cut ties with Scouting America over ‘core values’ Defense department says it may end support unless youth group abandons inclusivity and returns to ‘God and country’ values

Trump’s insecure homophobic bullies at the Pentagon are going after kids organizations. Demanding the Scouts return to “God and country,” and definitely no girls.

A goods chance for the organization show the kids how to stand up to a bully.

‘Don Colossus,’ a Golden Statue of President Trump, Waits for Its Home

Trump, Changing Course, Throws Harvard Deal Talks Into Chaos

Annotating the Judge’s Decision in the Case of Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-Year-Old Detained by ICE (Gift Article) Our critic annotates the barbed wordplay of a decision challenging the Trump administration’s theory of executive power.

Here’s a useful reminder of what our federal courts SHOULD be doing to uphold our constitutional traditions:

ICE has caused enough hell over the past 378 days since Trump has taken office.

Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. Unqualified ICE agents have been killing U.S. citizens and terrorizing our communities.

(1/2)

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Trump Is Said to Have Dropped Demand for Cash From Harvard

Harvard should stand strong.

The law firms and universities that did deals when Trump first rampaged lost money and freedom, not to mention their honor. Courts have since ruled against the actions Trump took and threatened. There are limits to what he can do.

Read the court order freeing little Liam Conejo Ramos from detention.

Quotes grievances from the Declaration of Independence, which sound familiar, includes the iconic photo of Liam, and cites for two passages from the bible, including, “Jesus wept.”

Kennedy Center to close for 2 years for construction in July, Trump says President Trump says he will move to close Washington's Kennedy Center for two years. It follows a wave of cancellations since Trump ousted the previous leadership and added his name to the building.

Credit Philip Glass, Renee Fleming, Stephen Schwartz, Chuck Redd and others in the performing arts for shutting down the Kennedy Center after Trump’s hostile takeover.

We can revive it - and scrape his name off the facade - when he’s gone.

Despite ‘Wrong’ Comments, Gun Rights Groups Say Trump Has Their Back

The MAGA right’s commitment to the sanctity of gun rights is a sham, subordinate to the Trump cult of personality.

Limitless gun rights but only for those who support Trump.

ICE Expands Power of Agents to Arrest People Without Warrants

ICE has dropped all pretense of “targeted” enforcement. Agents now told they can arrest without a warrant if they suspect a person of being undocumented - which with Kavanaugh stops they can do based on race - and they believe the person won’t “remain at the scene”.

NEWS: The Trump regime has arrested Don Lemon in its latest crackdown on journalism after he reported from inside a church protest in Minnesota—despite a magistrate judge previously rejecting the case against him as unsupported by evidence.

Donald Trump and Pam Bondi once again violated the Constitution.

They’re wasting your tax dollars arresting journalists — while protecting pedophiles and the murderers of Renée Good and Alex Pretti.

That’s authoritarian bullshit.

Tulsi Gabbard under scrutiny for showing up at FBI raid of Georgia election hub In her role overseeing the country’s spy agencies, Gabbard is prohibited by law from taking part in domestic law enforcement.

Spy director Tulsi Gabbard literally lurking in the periphery and peering around corners as the FBI seized Fulton County’s ballots is one of the most chilling images of this chilling time.

A trial run for 2026 voter suppression and election interference.

Bondi: "At my direction" feds arrested journalists.

At direction of AG may be because:

"Career DOJ prosecutors in both Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved...The prosecutors believe the evidence does not support the charges." (per @kylegriffin1.bsky.social re @carolleonnig.bsky.social)

The arrest of Don Lemon is yet another piece of evidence that America is being held hostage by a criminal and a regime that could not care less about the 1st Amendment & the Constitution. In this 250th year of our republic, we need every American who cares about keeping it to stand up & speak out.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

ICE is tracking protestors using facial recognition, social media surveillance, and more.

ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...
