#BREAKING: Over the dissents of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson, #SCOTUS grants (yet another) stay to President Trumpβ€”this one allowing him to cease obligating $4 billion in foreign aid funding appropriated by Congress.

Ex-U.S. military translator from Afghanistan arrested by ICE in CT. Attorney calls it β€˜nonsensical.’ The 35-year-old husband and father of five was taken into custody by ICE agents outside a routine green card appointment in East Hartford.

Zia, an Afghan interpreter who risked his life to help U.S. troops, is being detained by ICE in Massachusetts.

He's been living in the U.S. LEGALLY for fear of retribution if he returns to Afghanistan.

Targeting Zia and other Afghan allies is dangerous and wrong.

A chief executive publicly cheering for the firing of a critical media personality is a common feature of authoritarian states.

I hate to break it to everyone, especially since it’s been evident for a couple of months, but…

America is an authoritarian state.

One of the things about JD Vance is that he is completely 100% aware that what he is doing is evil and has made a deliberate, conscious choice to do evil to get power. He’s not self-deluded or dumb. He hasn’t drunk Kool-Aid. He’s decided to do evil for power.

'Contrary to President Trump's goal': Senate Republicans urge administration to release $7B in school aid The unusual challenge to the president offers the clearest sign of dissent yet over money that was expected early this month.

Pretty weird how everyone in America openly understands the sitting president is actively covering up his involvement in a massive pedophilia and human trafficking operation, but we're somehow talking about the "threat" posed by nine-year-old trans girls on soccer teams.

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
