This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Believing that this admin’s policies would be focused on “affordability” and “quelling inflation” when you knew what those policies were means you are either incompetent or a liar and should be fired.

Truly a needed course correction from the Walker years in WI.

We're getting more interest in adoptions, which is an amazing thing for us and our animals.

This trio of boys, our Brothers Karamazov, really should stay together. Alyosha, Mitka, and Ivan are a constant joy.

We know it's hard to find a home for a bonded pair, nevermind a trio, but we must try.

The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE.

Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009.

Bahrain News: Drone attack causes material damage to water desalination plant

That the destination plants many people rely on for water are on the table in both Iran and Gulf states is not good www.gdnonline.com/Details/1377...

The toxic fumes alone, amount to ongoing, uncontained, chemical warfare against the residents of Tehran.

I've been depressed since then. I know a lot of you are survivors of many layoffs, used to getting suddenly thrown overboard. if so, my apologies for describing things you've already gone through. But this is new for me. I've jumped jobs or walked out, but never laid off. At 57! Yikes!

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.

This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

There’s an Indian journalist in Israel right now reporting in Hindi about how bomb shelters in Israel will allow even the pets of Jews in but will not open its doors to the Indian workers our shithole government sent in droves to make up for genocided Palestinian labor. Apartheid regime.

Iranian hackers threatening to hack into the top 3 credit bureaus and wiping Americans debt… and I just wanna know who I gotta speak to in order to expedite this.

next poll shows Iran with a higher approval rating than Schumer

Trump blocks FBI terror threat alert linked to Iran war Top Trump officials ordered it placed on hold over concerns that it could show the domestic risk of the war and further erode public support.

Iran retaliated with missile and drone bombardments against U.S. bases and allied territory, targeting military facilities across the Gulf, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. One Iranian drone killed six American service members at a U.S. command center in Kuwait. Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. “I guess,” he says. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."

Donald Trump’s White House is blocking top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about rising threats to the homeland tied to his war with Iran, the Daily Mail can reveal. The FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center were preparing to put out a joint intelligence statement on Friday to state and local authorities alerting them of a heightened threat due to the ongoing war in Iran, a senior DHS official said. The bulletin, which was reviewed by the Daily Mail, details 'elevated threats by the government of Iran to US military and government personnel and facilities, Jewish and Israeli institutions and their perceived supporters, and Iranian dissidents and other anti-regime activists in the United States.' 'Radicalized individuals with a variety of ideological backgrounds also may see this conflict or other geopolitical events as a justification for violence,' the report continues. The five-page bulletin blocked by the White House provides specific details on how Iranian proxies may carry out attacks across the country. One section explains how local law enforcement can respond to this type of violence. The official title is 'A Public Safety Awareness Report: Elevated threat in the United States during US-Iran conflict'. Homeland Security broke protocol and gave the White House a heads-up about the nationwide bulletin hours before it was set to be released. Top Trump officials ordered it placed on ‘hold’. The White House did not deny blocking the terror bulletin in a statement to the Daily Mail.

Time: Asked if Americans should be worried abt attacks at home: I guess.

Daily Mail: The White House blocked release of FBI/NCTC warning of elevated risks.

“DHS broke protocol & gave the WH a heads-up about the report” & then, the WH blocked it.

It’s remarkable that even the regime’s continued and open disregard for American lives is somehow only a blip in media coverage.

Hey, a DC Circuit motions panel that doesn’t suck

Student Loans In Limbo As Court Again Rejects Bid To Kill Repayment Plan For 7 Million Borrowers Millions of borrowers with federal student loans remain in limbo this week after a court again rejected attempts to immediately terminate a popular repayment program.

GOP: if you don’t stop this, people might be treated fairly.

“The states warned that without a stay, federal student loans could again be eligible for all of the benefits of the SAVE plan including lower payments, interest subsidies, and student loan forgiveness.” shorturl.at/UoIyu

Here’s hoping for this kind of Armageddon

Leasing that electric car this fall seems brilliantly prescient in this moment.

Yes. GOP my whole life.

Drone strikes on Amazon Web Services facilities this week in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlight the vulnerability of cloud facilities — prominent symbols of US tech power in the region and hard to defend against air attack. Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Thursday that Iran targeted Amazon and Microsoft facilities in recent drone strikes. Experts say Amazon’s facilities were likely targeted by Iran. Microsoft said it had not experienced any outages in the region. The strikes mark what is believed to be the world’s first military attack against the US “hyper…

Narrator: it was not unexpected.

"Trump told Barak Ravid and Zachary Basu of Axios that he needs to be involved personally in choosing the next leader of Iran....Trump told the reporters: “They are wasting their time. Khamenei’s son is a lightweight. I have to be involved in the appointment, like w Delcy [Rodríguez] in Venezuela.”"
