propaganda works

especially well on people who think propaganda doesn't work

John Roberts owns this.

The Conservative Legal Advocates Working to Kill Trump’s Tariffs The New Civil Liberties Alliance is mounting a constitutional challenge to one of the biggest policy questions of our time. Will others follow?

I wrote about some of them here. But there are so many other lawyers and businesses who stepped up.

They all should be celebrated today. Not the Supreme Court. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

shoutout vos selections, a small new york wine/spirits importer that sued the administration in spring 2025:

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

DOJ Deleted Record Revealing That Maxwell Holds Potential Blackmail Over Trump The document, which was re-posted after I reported the removal, shows Maxwell's lawyers possess three FBI interviews with an underage Trump accuser that haven't been released to the public.

Leaked Email Suggests Ring Plans to Expand ‘Search Party’ Surveillance Beyond Dogs Ring's CEO told staff the feature is “first for finding dogs,” indicating a plan to expand.

Yeah so that Ring ad that aired at the Super Bowl about 'Search Party?" 404 Media now has proof that it won't just be used to locate dogs...

Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

DHS successfully—until now—covered up the murder of a third US citizen on Texas' Padre Island, the sort of thing that can only happen in GOP-ruled Texas. ICE agents shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, last year, but DHS covered up the whole incident, Newsweek reports.

From Elie Honig at Stay Tuned with Preet. Here is the kind of material that is still being withheld from the Epstein files, in violation of the federal statute:

"It is difficult to comprehend the level of state-sponsored criminality we are witnessing because our country has never experienced anything like it."- #NYDailyNews

(wait'll ya experience the midterms...)

#AccountabilityIsComing ⚖️

“It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.”

This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate."

Maryland, New Mexico Become Latest Blue States to Ban Local Contracts with ICE - Bolts Governors Lujan Grisham and Moore signed laws barring local sheriffs and police from partnering with ICE’s 287(g) program, joining a string of ten states with similar prohibitions.

NEW: Major, BFD action by blue states standing up to ICE.

Maryland, on Tuesday, banned local law enforcement from being part of ICE's notorious 287(g) program. 

That automatically forces *9* sheriffs out of their ICE contract!

And New Mexico did the same last week:

We're announcing $107 million in grants to 42 communities across California to prevent gun violence.

That brings our total investments to more than $350 million since 2018.
Violent crime in California is now down 12%.

Gun violence is preventable — and we're proving it.

Our sincere apologies to anyone who preferred preschool cost $2,100 a month. @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom made it FREE for all 4-year-olds — while also making historic investments to support the child care workforce.

🎯Musk: "Nobody dies to defend a 'multicultural economic zone'!"
WW2 Nazis: "During a war, only a people can fight for its future, not a mere population that is racially, religiously, linguistically, ideologically, and governmentally disunified.... the USA has no unified people, only a population."

Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?

Awkward Old JD Vance Tweet Implying An Epstein Cover-Up Just Resurfaced—And Hoo Boy, That Didn't Age Well

This you, JD? 👀

The north doesn’t forget.

our mad king is so inferior to the Brits' real one...

MS NOW has obtained a statement from the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre:

At last.
 
Today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty.

WHERE ARE THE FISCAL CONSERVATIVES AND THE CONSERVATIVE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS?

According to the Washington Post, ICE is spending 38.3 BILLION DOLLARS to buy warehouses across the country and turn them into detention centers.

38 BILLION...

It's time to remove him.

This cannot stand.

When an attorney general responds to questions about Epstein victims by touting the Dow, something is very wrong. @preetbharara.bsky.social and I discuss Bondi’s congressional testimony on a new episode of @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider. Listen: cafe.visitlink.me/lKZr85

CBS not airing James Talarico’s interview with Stephen Colbert because they were supposedly worried about FCC backlash is a really big deal. Stephen Colbert was told not to say anything and did so anyways. This man is not getting enough credit for standing up for free speech.

Yes indeed.

I talked about this last night.

Maryland bans partnerships with ICE, citing 'unaccountable agents' Gov. Wes Moore signed legislation ending 287(g) agreements between the state's law enforcement agencies and the federal immigration enforcement agency.

This is a major victory for Maryland residents in the fight for safety and our rights.

Local police must be accountable to their communities, not ICE.

ICE drawdown? Indications point to steady enforcement activity outside the Twin Cities Some people who observe ICE activity are skeptical about a large scale drawdown of agents in the state. There are indications that activity has decreased in the Twin Cities, but has continued outside ...

Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help.

“A bunch of agents jump out and tackle him, essentially restraining him, and take him away...His six kids are now without their father." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
