High school senior, a U.S. citizen, detained by ICE in Oregon The 17-year-old was held more than five hours Friday in an ICE facility, his brother said.

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.”

Heidi Stevens: After Trump’s ‘Quiet, piggy’ moment, we’re done asking why survivors don’t come forward, right? If we’re going to become a nation that truly protects children and women, we have to stop giving a pass to sexual abusers, writes Heidi Stevens.

Great piece on Trump's 'Quiet, piggy' moment. This phrase could be the new shorthand way to explain how abusers silence their victims. Keep quiet or be punished cruelly.

Unpacked:
In Aug., Govt said if Abrego pled guilty he could go to Costa Rica, where he's okay with going. Abrego said no to plea. Govt now wants to send him to Liberia. Why not Costa Rica? Govt told judge Thurs that Costa Rica wouldn’t take him anymore. @mariasacchetti exposed them.

Did Russia buy Trump's support of this ridiculous plan in Miami last month?

A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

In this tough and moving essay, Caroline Kennedy's 35-year-old daughter Tatiana Schlossberg reveals that she is terminally ill with leukemia. She has some choice words about how her cousin Bobby has made the limited time she has left worse. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

JFK was all about cutting the marginal rate, and the capital gains tax rate. He'd be flamed by today's Dems.

My God.

He’s committed to hiring all his racist, sexually predatory pals.

Dear god.

So, uh, the Jed Rubenfeld referenced here was disciplined by Yale Law for sexually harassing students. He's married to Amy Chua who among other things took to the pages of the NYT to defend Kavanaugh when he was under fire for sexually harassment. Ken Starr, well we know. This is just incredible.

Ingraham: Does that mean the h-1b visa thing will not be a big priority for your administration?

Trump: You have to bring in talent

Ingraham: We have plenty of talent

Trump: No, you don’t

Ingraham: We don’t have talented people here?

Thank you veterans. Thank you for your courage. May we all honor your service by carrying on the battle for freedom. #VeteransDay

Schumer and the Hateful Eight Betray America A new low for the Democratic Senate

@TheRickWilson : "The Republicans cannot believe their luck. They get to end the shutdown, blame it on Democrats, and go back to the MAGA base and say, “We killed Obamacare at last!”" https://open.substack.com/pub/therickwilson/p/schumer-and-the-hateful-eight-betray?r=2lckc&utm_medium=ios

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

The Mafia Presidency Trump is saying, essentially, If you don’t want to get hurt, you’ll do what I say.

The longevity of the Mafia in Italy serves as a warning that, once this style of rule embeds itself in the state, it is “very difficult to extract,” @adamserwer.bsky.social argues.

The DOJ has been firing judges with immigrant defense backgrounds NPR's data analysis shows that the DOJ has tended to fire judges with immigrant defense backgrounds in its recent rounds of dismissals.

Let's also call it what it is... they know what they are supporting is deeply unpopular and evil, which says more about them than anything and living on military bases keeps them from being publicly protested because they are snowflakes.

Un-freaking-real.

This year, the Roberts majority has let states ban medical care for trans kids, and let Trump expel trans troops and make trans people erase themselves to travel abroad.

And Roberts et al aren't done: they're gonna strike down states' conversion therapy bans and uphold states' trans athlete bans.

SCOTUS live feed on the tarffs case has just started.

WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."
