No more masks should be non-negotiable before DHS gets a penny.

There is a difference between stupidity and dishonesty. Noem suffers from both. MWM certainly suffers from the latter. Not sure about the former yet.

One day after we won a vote in House Oversight with united Democratic members to subpoena Pam Bondi, the DOJ just announced that they plan to post more Epstein files.

This is after they took down 50k files with no explanation. We are going to end this White House cover-up.

The stakes are high. That's why we have to win -- in the courts, at the ballot box, and in the court of public opinion.

"There seems to be a substantial disconnect between the practices, policies and training deployed by ICE, and the law."

This is a powerful decision. Note Judge Brown's invitations for Plaintiff to seek sanctions and broad injunctive relief against ICE covering not only the Plaintiff but also those who are similarly situated.

Possibly. Perhaps Trump did not like the headlines saying he got his @Β§Β§ handed to him on a platter. Looks like they are just going to break their own record for losing.

Trump administration drops effort against law firms after judges find president's orders unconstitutional Numerous judges have ruled against Trump's executive orders targeting certain law firms.

FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF GOOD NEWS:

Trump Regime ends unconstitutional attack on law firms. Those that stood up to fascism are rewarded. This is one small but important step back from the brink for American democracy:

Put another way, of those with a strong view (the only ones tht really matter at this stage of the election cycle), 71% disapprove of Trump's performance in office. There should be a massive blue wave in the midterms.

Democrats simply need to tell voters what they would do differently to win big.

The latest IPSOS poll numbers are devastating for Trump. The top line numbers are bad for him (38% approval to 60% disapproval for 22% under water), but if you dig in the numbers are far worse: 19% strongly approve vs. 47% strongly disapprove -- 28% UNDER WATER.

β€œ[T]here had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday...it had been announced that the ration was to be REDUCED to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours?”

Here's the Trump formula:

Step 1: Create a problem.

Step 2: Announce a counter-productive purported solution.

Step 3: Cause more harm than good.

Step 4: Declare the problem solved.

We are currently on Step 3 with Iran.
